T-man's '05 Sport Build Thread

[t-man]

Made it home just in time to grab a delivery from the Post lady! Body lift from RC Brown.

Well, life decided it had to kick my ass a little. I am now fighting my ex for all 3 of my kids and had to use the money I had for the 35's up on that. I decided to just use the 33's I have already and I put them on today. Hopefully I will be able to get the 35's in a few months still. I took a couple pics, will post one of all 4 tires on the truck tomorrow. I forgot before it got dark out...Durrr
Loving the look though! Makes it look like a real off-road truck now! :guitar2:

Took the truck for a ride today. I haven't put the body lift on so there is some minor rubbing on flex, but not bad. I can't believe how close the tires are to the body mount though! Definitely will need to chop that before getting my 35's,whenever that'll be.

And a couple pose shots.

Getting my alignment right now. As close as they can actually get it anyways...

 

[t-man]

Alignment was quick and easy and barely off. Tracking straight and is great.

Looks good with those TRD/Tundra wheels. How thick of a spacer/adapter did you use..

2" but the offset on the rims are.. deeper? So it's like I only have 1.25-1.5 spacers. As soon as I can afford to buy some rims that look like this I plan on getting them. I love the look!

Completed a couple easy weekend mods today.
First, I bypassed the TPMS so my light is no longer blinking at me.
Second, I did the fog light mod so now they work whenever the truck is on and with the high beams as well.
Can't believe how easy they were to do!

My birthday is coming up at the end of the month, thinking about some off road lights. Hmmm.

Put my body lift on today. Have to try and get the steering spacer hooked up tomorrow, radiator drop bracket, and adjust the front bumper. Will post pics. It is now high enough that even I have to use the running boards to get in and I'm 6'4"! lol

Will post them with my pics tomorrow. I can't remember the exact number at the moment.

Lol! I knew someone was going to do that!

 

[t-man]

Pics for the masses!

Measurements are ground to fender in center of wheel well.

 

[t-man]

I put a board across the roof rack and measured to the ground. 6'3 3/4" tall now.

Finally have everything buttoned up now. Definitely sitting up there now!

Went for a quick drive to test it out. Found a spot to flex a little.

Ordered 4" led lights and a switch today. Have to order the CBI Ditch light brackets soon. :bluejump:

 

[t-man]

Installed 2 of my 4" Cree lights today. Trimmed the lower grill, drilled a hole in each side into the steel bumper to bolt them down. I have the independent fog light mod, so I can get any light combo I want now. :madgrin:

New brake calipers on the front today. Inside two pistons on both calipers were froze right up and gave me Shit for brakes. All better now though!

 

[t-man]

I really want these!
