Hofs05's "GATOR" build thread

[mgrande]

Thanks! I told him he did such a good job on the clean-up that it looks like it came out of the showroom! haha

Now that is a rig itching for wheel spacers. Or a wider wheel with the appropriate offset.

Looking good.

Yeah when those tires are on their way out she'll likely get new rims and 285's.

Just wanted to say truck looks great. I like how you took off the rocker panels with the sliders on. Do you think you could take a pic of the side of the truck straight on? I am considering buying the SW rocker panels to clean up the look but it kinda looks like the sliders do the trick. Are they the TE sliders from BB? Thanks in advance.

Thank you! Here's the link for the sliders:

10+ 4R Sliders, Bump Out, Regular - BudBuilt - Tough Toyota Protection

I'll post the side view pics once I get to work.

Crappy cellphone pics but hopefully this gives you a good idea of how it looks from the side.

Perfect!! I was unsure on which sliders to get but now i know. You have any plans for that pink dot clip thingy? I think just might paint it gray to match. Thanks again.

 

[hofs05]

Yeah it's a pink plastic clip. Kind of an eye sore. I think he's just going to paint it.

Looking at the front bumper is there enough gap for flex? I have about 1/2 inch between my Shrockworks and fender and I still seem to have made contact between the two.

Otherwise looking good.

Yeah, there is actually plenty of room for flex. More than on my tacoma.
