Dans T4R 2003 build thread. I can finally afford to do some upgrades.

[danishoes21]

I want to start by thanking T4R.org and all the members for sharing all the information, It has really helped me since I became a T4R owner back in 2013.

Now after a couple years with almost no mods (besides the stereo system) I can finally start to do some retouching to my ride. I decided to keep the truck and do some upgrades rather than selling it for peanuts and go for a 5th gen.

How she looked when I got her.






A couple month after I got the car, I had to change tires and decided to go with BFGoodrich 285/70/R16 so much of the budget went to the tires but I still had to lift the truck at least 2" to be able to use the size tires I wanted.
I came up with a Rancho Quick lift + spacer in the front and OME coil spring in the back with rancho 9000xl

This is how she looked two weeks ago, I ordered new headlights since the ones I had were in horrible shape... Long story short.







Finally I could get to installing the new headlights. HID low beans 8000k black matching with the LED tail lights also black. I went with the 06-09 headlights.

The front view with the new headlights. I will eventually be replacing the broken bumper. Just waiting for the new one to arrive.
I also need the fillers for the bumper gaps.

I inserted the image using the Insert Image icon and copying the URL of the image previously uploaded to my album.

Did I do it wrong?

Looking good. Where did you get the head lights and tail lights From? Also, how are the 285 doing,? Are you getting any rubbing at full lock and did you have to do any bumper trimming?

The 285 are doing very good actually, had them for 3 and half years now, I have no wheel spacers so they touch the upper arm when I try a full U turn. I didn't trim the bumper.

I know, I looked at my thread as a guest and I can't see any pics. I reported the post to see if I can get any help from the administrator.
I'm using chrome as well but from a Mac.

For now you can check the pics in my album, while I fix the problem.

The bulbs are H11 for the low beams with 8000k HID, the headlight assembly came with the HID bulb ready in the unit. Great deal for the price.

Now high beam I don't have anything yet.

Big day today;

After weeks of delay, waiting for the package to arrive finally installing ARB front bumper and K&N air intake. Hopefully everything goes as planned, should have my car back in the 4-5 hours.

Very excited to see the final result.

 

[danishoes21]

I know this picture doesn't do justice (taken with the cellphone), I got my car after 8 hours of waiting so no sunlight. Didn't know installing a ARB bumper took that much work.

I'm very satisfied but still need to do some detailing, there is the gap that needs to be dealt with, I have the old bumper and I did see a thread around here where someone cut and modified the original bumper to cover the gap.

K&N filter sounds and feels badass. Couldn't be happier.

I will post some better pictures in the next few days.

Where'd you get the headlights? They look nice!

Couldn't be happier with them, they really changed the look of the ride.

Hope this helps.
