hungwin jza80's Build Thread - 2001 Sport Blk/Oak


LOL what the hell man?! Just 'cause I'm stalkin' pics of your truck doesn't mean you can bump my build thread!!! :AK47: Kidding... been drawing inspiration from your truck for my HID retrofit. Nice 'n clean!

Sorry for not being very active on the forums. I've been on Supraforums for 14 years with less than 1,400 posts!

I've been totally slacking on updates, but here's what I can remember off the top of my head. You might see a theme here. Nothing major, but constant small improvements to keep this aging platform somewhat current.

  • VLEDS V3 Triton 5K White/Amber Switchback custom-mounted in Front Hella Turn Signal Housings (in Shrockworks Bull Bar)
  • VLEDS V3 Triton Amber Rear Turn Signals
  • VLEDS Amber 3W LED Auxiliary Turn Signal Pods (at end of rear quarter panel protective tubing)
  • Morimoto XB LED Fog Lamps (Type T) with custom hungwin jza80 Brackets
  • 3000 Lumen H4 LED Headlamps
  • CBI OffRoad Fab Ditch Light Brackets
  • Vision X 4.5-inch LED Light Cannons w/ Blackout, Euro Clear, and Amber Covers
  • skygear RTMR Cooper Bussman Auxiliary Relay/Fuse Box
  • Shrockworks Flip-Up License Plate Mount

January 2015: Morimoto Mini D2S X-Lens (Square) Retrofit into new OEM Toyota Headlamp Assemblies with XB35 5500K Bulbs

Planned 2015:
Custom Rear Cargo Drawer Setup

I also have some other projects in the works with various fab shops and smaller outfits, but can't really disclose details till they're finalized.
 
Lemme just wrap up posting the pics from this folder. I hope to have some new pics and maybe videos of the lights in action when the weather gets nicer!


This is why I need a drawer setup, to help reduce some of the load-in/load-out.

Loving that vanity plate... My first request got denied so I was thinking something really close to yours...

Def starting with the word "teq"......stay tuned, hopefully this next one won't be denied... It only took them 3 months to deny it! Hahaahah. Good ol' government is so efficient
 
Very nice build! I just read through the whole thing after a picture of your truck came up while I was doing a Google image search for some parts. Your truck is so clean and well thought out with everything you do. I love your selection in cars too. I've got an 01 4x4 4Runner, and a MK3 Supra myself. There seem to be a lot of members here who own both a Runner and a Supra.

I'm sure like most gearheads, we all get to a point during a project or job where we're like: "Why the eff am I doing this...," but when you close the door and walk away from your car or truck, do the head turn, and smile to yourself, it all makes sense!!!

This quote basically explains me. I constantly look back at my vehicles as I walk away. I also tend to park at the very back of the parking lot, partially because I hate that people have no regard for other's property, and also because I think I like the long walk back just looking at them...
 
Are you still running the superflex coils with the CBI bumper? If so, how are they holding up? Are you wanting to switch to 861's?
 
Clean them PIAA's

No longer PIAAs, I fabbed mounting brackets for TRS XB LED Type-T Fog Lights. :cool:

Idk how I just noticed your build....very nice rig!!!!

I love this truck! Great job!

Thank you very much guys, I appreciate it!

Lawlz. I went into a DMV and tried to get IM HUNG. The lady was not amused.

Toyota 4 Lyfe! :thumb:

I ALWAYS park at the back of the parking lot and mean mug all these morons doing the most terriblest (yes, that's a word) parking jobs.

Yessir. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Superflex springs. I don't miss the OMEs one single bit. What a night and day difference.

Oh so you had the 861's then went with superflex? I'm debating going with 861's since everyone has switched to them with the cbi rear, but like how my superflex ride. Just not sure if they will hole up.

IF this is the case, it's time for me to order some coils... I LOVE the 861's, they're just so dang tall.
 
Fwiw I love my 861s I could load the back till the house was empty and I might lose 1" of height. Normal unladen use was fine. About 4" of lift empty. Of course theres a lot of steel under the rescue runner and so it might just sit lower because of that. I think the 861 are perfect, but again that's just me

I never ran the 861s so I can't compare the two, but the Superflex blow away the 890s IMHO. I just did not like how unsettled the rear end felt with them. I set my front coilovers a touch low so the truck will be relatively level when it's loaded with wheeling/camping gear.

I kinda think the seats of my pants are highly calibrated having coilovers on my Supra (HKS Hipermax Performer), MR2 (JIC then KW Variant 3), and former SC300 (Bilstein/Hyperco bka gixxer_drew suskit). j/k :driving: :wink2:
 
how have I not come across this tread before....just blew off the first few hours of work reading through it. Excellent build my dude! :cheers:
