Haddix's build thread

You guys do some really cool stuff, I'm really excited to see what you wind up with..
You should make these to sell, I would sport them on my website for sure.

Keep the pics coming.

Going to add rock rings to my steel wheels. Thinking about going with this design.

Going to make my decision tonight and cut them tomorrow hopefully.
 
Acquired a set of the Coveted anthracite TRD wheels today and got them mounted. I'm in love with the new look. Very happy with how everything is coming together. I am still going to weld the rock ring on the steel wheels since I already have them cut and may run the steelies in the winter time.

Also got the rock rings cut for my old steelies. Not really sure what I'm going to do with these yet since I now have the anthracite trd wheels.

I got anxious and wanted to see how the rock rings would look painted black w/ gold bolts.
I love the look, To bad I won't get to run them lol

My younger sister got her first vehicle the other day. Needless to say she was smart and followed after her older brother and got a Toyota. It's an 01 sport 4x4. Building a front bumper for her and my dads 4runners in the next couple weeks. Stay tuned because I'll be selling them also.

Went to Red River Gorge/Slade,KY over 4th of July weekend to do some backcountry exploring. I went Saturday by myself and Sunday I went back with a buddy and his fj. I've lived in Kentucky my entire life and I'm still amazed with the views this place has to offer. Red river gorge *is about 45 minutes from my house and there is so much terrain to be explored.*The FJ performed great, it's like a little mountain goat. Just climbs with ease. I was almost in a mess Saturday by myself. I misjudged a mud hole and dropped the 2 front tires into it. One rear tire in the air and the other completely stuffed. I was stuck. A lot of throttle,cussing and toyota faith the fj finally dug deep and brought me out. Needless to say I'm very happy with the 4wd system and the atrac in the FJ. I counted my blessings and headed back towards home as it was getting dark and I didn't want to test my luck anymore. Onto some pictures!

Contemplating trading the FJ for an 07 Tacoma dcab trd. The Tacoma has 33" KM2's and full old man emu lift. I'd keep the anthracite trd fj wheels.
Help me make the right decision!

Tough call, I love them both fj and tacos, but a white taco would look pretty legit with those TRD wheels....I guess if you would utilize the bed of the taco go for it, if not I'd stick with the fj.
 
Looks like you only build weak ***** trucks. Lol. No jk they r sick man! Tons of money here and there! You must have a nice job. You think you will go back to a 4runner. Say 4th gen?

Thanks for the compliments. I do like a built 4th gen but don't see me getting rid of the Fj to get one. If I were to get rid of the Fj it would take a 2nd gen Dcab tacoma or 100 series landcruiser. I really want to build up a 100 series...
Hmmmmmm
