Something Smart Here-Slow_T4R's Build/Timeline

[Slow_T4R]

Holy crap. Not an exciting update but wow. I decided hey I should see what my plugs look like. They looked like crap so I went to Toyota and bought 6 Toyota oem denso's with the dual prong.
I started to take out the plugs one by one and realized half were denso's, half were ngk, just like from the factory, I do believe they were never changed (smh). They looked pretty bad.
Here's a little side tip for anyone changing plugs. There's a bunch of people on this website who claim that getting to the drivers side firewall spark plug is really hard. When in reality it's just as easy as the other ones, take all of the ratchet extensions you have, hook them together and BAM easy as pie!
Takes no time at all and I can tell there is a huge difference, idles smoother and my butt dyno says I gained some power/acceleration.

Here's what I bought:

In the process:

New VS. Old

Got the XRC8 winch mounted this afternoon and my brother in law helped me mount it. Now I just gotta go get stuck somewhere. :eyebrows:

Went to Costco today with the wife and baby and strolling through the isles I see they have the rubber "all season" floor mats for $17.99 for all 4. I couldn't pass it up so I bought a set of those. Also bought some windshield wipers, my old ones started falling apart.
I love Costco but god damn I always want to buy everything in there!

So much better than the old carpet material! And they're gonna be nice when I get mud and dirt in it from wheelin. Just takem out and hose them down!

Hehe I bought the same floor mats at Costco as well. Picked them up about a month ago. Nice build thread btw.

Thank you! And for some reason I think your avatar is the best thing I have ever seen.

Well I really needed to mount my Hi lift somewhere and I didn't like the roof idea because of theft and corrosion. I was cruising the interwebs and saw the hi lift mount for sale and realized 4WP actually had it and at a great price (plus I had a coupon for 10% off). I also bought a d ring so my clevis wasn't just out there flopping around in the wind.

What I got:

Putting the parts together:

Mounted on my box:

Final product:

Here's the d ring and clevis:

I was very pleased so I took her out to get a little muddy:

Small update, converted the dome lights and license plate lights to LEDs. Waiting for the map lights to come in the mail.
They are really bright in real life but I think my iPhones not picking up the light. It's what-evs. I love the brightness and the look, cool little mod for cheap!

Made this today. Fast forward to 4:15 for different angle. The first angle I liked because you can really hear the magnaflow, the second angle is pretty legit to see the suspension flex. The last minute or so (5:45) I threw it in 2wd and hauled a little ass! Also I'm not sure why it gets dark in the middle of the vid fast forward to 4:15ish.



And here's a pic of it all waxed and sexy:

Looking good buddy, whats next?

 

[Slow_T4R]

Thank you natemob ! Next up is installation of my bilsteins and toytec/eibach springs. Ever since I put on the bumper/winch the front lowered a little bit and I've had the lift waiting since nov 2012 ha. Expect good things!

Subbed awesome build!

 

[Slow_T4R]

Did some wheelin last Tuesday in the snow which was a blast. Here's a couple poser pic's.

Also, installing my lift on Monday so keep an eye out. Superflex springs in rear, 3 inch toytec/eibach springs in front and bilsteins in all four corners! :becky:

 

[Slow_T4R]

Finally got my new lift installed. 3 inch toytec springs in front, toytec superflex in the rear, bilstein 5100's in front, extended bilsteins for the rear and a one inch dif drop in front! Love the new look and CANNOT wait to to take this thing offroad and see what it does!

Sorry it's another driveway pic, will update soon with more pics!

Ninja edit: my buddies selling his brand spanking new tacoma (told him I'd spread the word in the Toyota community!).

I saw gifs! Sorry to post on your build. Subscribed though.
Don't be mad, ITS OLIVIA WILDE!

Wait...I can't hear what she's saying

Anyhoo, I really like that front bumper setup you have!

 

[02_SE_Runner]

Looking good mate!

 

[NateMob]

Man, the superflex coils are really taking off! Im looking forward to seeing how you like them.

 

[rickashay]

The Addicted bumpers never get old to me.... Love seeing them everytime.

Truck looks great, especially with that new winch crammed in there! Not a HUGE fan of the yellow skid on silver, but I agree, it does def. set your rig apart and I applaud you for that. :trophy:

Looking forward to more pics in the dirt.

Dude, WHY are you selling your sliders?! I think you would have been the only one here with the MC ones. Either way, i love the look of your truck currently. (Even with the yellow skid) haha

I'm still torn about selling the sliders, trust me I don't want to sell them but I could use the money for other things. I don't know. Maybe I'll mount them. I'm a wild card haha.

After your springs settle down, I would love some hub to fender measurements! I plan on getting this exact suspension set up.
