kolbydmc's "The Donkey" Build Thread

[kolbydmc]

I'm back!

It has been a long time since iv'e updated this thread! Sadly nothing has been done to the runner since my last post, time to stop neglecting her and start posting again.

To jump start things, It's time for new tires.... These old Firestone destinations have served me well, I even put them through the jamboree and I know they hated that. Now its finally time for them to go! I had known what I was going to get next for a long time, and i finally pulled the plug. Today I ordered my TreadWright 265/75R/16 Warden A/Ts. They are 32s. Soon to come will be a lift, probably going to go with LC coils in the rear and some spacers up front for now due to a tight budget. Once I get my tires mounted, I'm going to re paint the wheels since they are now almost gray. On that note, best deal to get tires mounted?





I almost forgot, my kenwood is acting up, the usb stopped reading my phone. Iv'e disconnected the battery, removed the radio, swapped faceplates. Still no go, any ideas?

Many things have happened in the passed months, I have been slacking on updates. The biggest thing that has happened is that I have bought a 2001 4WD sr5. I had an opportunity to sell mine that I couldn't pass up. Sold her for $4300 and the buyer allowed me one week to move over my locker, tires, rims, radio, and cb radio. I just had wheeled at Jambo 2013 and the Donkey performed outstandingly with a rear locker, surprised many people including myself.

Here are some pics from the last months.

Here is the video from the 2013 Toyota Jamboree that I completed when I still had this truck, 2WD with a locker performed outstandingly!

I honestly have no idea unfortunately. It was a gift from a friend and all I did was bed line it and throw it on.

I responded to your PM; I wish I could just trade you even up for my AVS which doesn't seem to fit up as tight to the leading up of my hood as does yours...
