I only wanted a ski rig....My Build Thread

[four flusher]

Somehow I found my way to the board and I was hooked. Great posts, tons of info and really helpful folks, especially hepar!

Bought my 2001 Sport online, one owner, 73K miles ultra clean, from Texas, I had it shipped and the game was on.

Cleaned it up and had it checked out mechanically and it had zero issues, lucky after buying it 1500 miles away.

Added Pioneer 3200, weathertech all around, steering wheel cover, "These can't be leather" seat covers

Nice! I re-read the thread and noticed the maker of the covers.

Wheels, tires and Toytec Ultimate lift

Studied wheels and tires on the board for maybe 10 hours, decided on the Procomp 8069 and Duratrac 265/75/16 C

About 10 more hours on lift info and got the Toytec Ultimate

Took off the factory rack and replaced it with Yakima

Removed steps, sliders on the way

Bumper, skids and lights

Worked with Hepar and Badlands for the tube Bumper, after looking a it for a week I really like the way it turned out

A friend and I installed the bumper and Budbuilt skid and Hella 1000 black magic driving lights

This is now officially a "do it your self" project

Future mods:
TRD superchager sitting in the garage
Stubbs HD-SKO sliders
Mud flaps
Piaa 520 fogs
Muffler
IRS mod
Tranny cooler

God knows what else

Really like how that bumper you and Hepar got installed. How do you like your Black Magics? I was thinking of picking up a set of these and putting them on my bumper, instead of carrying over my old Hella 500's.

Everything starts out so innocent right?!? Lol great looking rig buhd!

The Hella's are super bright, got them on amazon

haha nice "ski" rig.

the truck looks clean, I can already see it turning into a beast!

Keep us posted

Tell me more about the supercharger. I'm a new owner of a 2003 4x4 Limited (going on six says now) and am researching upgrades.

Thanks.

 

[Riggity]

That's sick. I wish my ski rig look like that.

 

[MAD 69]

Nice truck, is that a 2.5 Toyatech lift? How much did it cost you if you don't mind me asking?

 

[awpsome]

holy ****, BEAUTIFUL truck man!

Sc

I'm not up on 4th gen SC, use the search
For a 3rd gens you can get a SC from TRD, It's a bolt on, I'll post how it goes, both the install and performance

 

[Hepar]

Dang that's a good looking ride! Can't wait until you get the supercharger in! You gonna get some shackles for the front bumper?


PS - That's one of the best looking ski rides I've ever seen!

 

[rajuncajun]

Looks nice man, can you get a pic of the whole rig?

 

[blcktpgsr]

And I thought you said you only wanted a ski rig?

..I like the integration of the Black Magics as it doesn't stray away to the black motif of your rig.
