ADH8796 Build Thread

[ADH8796]

Alright so the idea here is not to build a hardcore off road rig. My plan is to build something very similar to what I use to have (will post pics below). This will be my DD/weekend wheeler-camping rig.

Day I brought it home

After I took off the running boards

Weathertech floor liners installed

285/75/16 Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ's arrived

I had originally ordered Sway-A-Way 2.0 Coilovers for my front lift but after talking to wheelers offroad I was informed that order would be out of stock for 3 weeks. I wasn't willing to wait that long so I upgraded to Camburg Coilovers that should be arriving thursday 6/18/09. For my rear lift I ordered Old Man Emu 891 Coils and Old Man Emu N86C Comfort shocks.

Well the coilovers finally showed up so as soon as I got off work I went strait to the install. Took me a little under 4 hours to do the whole lift by my self (that includes adjusting the front coilovers to the correct ride hight). Anyway I'm very pleased with the outcome and look forward to getting some sliders and building bumpers.

Lift is on

Old tires off new tires getting balanced

Sliders have been on for a while I'll try to get more pics soon. Looking into building bumpers before too long (hopefully)

Update: I found a good deal on a nice TJM T-15 so I snatched it up and decided while I was at it I would go ahead and build my rear bumper. Rear bumper build is here Rear bumper build and Front bumper install - YotaTech Forums

Blacked out turn signals and corners.

Tubed the firewall to clear the 35's

Trimmed the TJM a little

New in cab winch control.

Pretty much done trimming (no more rubbing)

 

[ADH8796]

Broke my factory power antenna and didn't want to pay for a tacoma whip set up so I went to a local auto part store and picked this stuff up.

This is just a universal antenna setup with rubber mast (rubber mast looks like crap)

This is the mast I bought to replace the rubber mast

Final product

Final cost after tax $22.10

Head light went out so instead of spending $50 on silver stars I ordered some DDM tuning HID's for $45 shipped.

Silver star on right and HID on left

Next mod will either be these HIDX 7" HID Off Road Light or a front locker. Haven't decided which I'm doing first.

Wow nice build.

 

[downpour11]

Very Nice. I've kept up on your build over on yotatech too, I love it!

 

[ADH8796]

Thanks guys! I finally had some time on my hands so I figured I'd post up my build.

Yeah very nice. These look BA with 35's

 

[DewRunner]

Very nice. Are you pretty content with the rear flex and does it rub in the rear anymore? im close to the same setup just havent got any 35's under it yet. I cant decied if i want to run my LC coils or swap to leafs for the rear and strech it like 2 inches im scared the tires gonna hit the door.

Its fun tubbing, isnt it

It looks great.
