Ha, the one 6x9 speaker between the seats kinda ruins the badass effect.

 

it's a work in progress. i've already taken a lot of ideas, inspiration, tips, and advice from this forum.

 

nice looking pickup

 

Awesome xtra cab Toy!!!! You gonna start a build thread?

 

Thanks!

Here are some more pictures from today.

 

So I just got this Beast... I haven't had a chance to get it out in the dirt yet but I will soon. Here's some pics of it in the driveway till then..

 

Looks like fun. but is a little tall haha. that just means bigger meats!

is that a rhino lined paint job i see?

 

Yup, the entire cab, hood and fenders is all Rhino lined. I hope it helps protect the fiberglass fenders a little bit. I'll be doing a "winter" camo paint job on it pretty soon. And I don't want bigger meats, I think I'm going to lower it a few inches actually. It has 39.5" tires now. Might go down to 37's but we'll see how it feels once I get to go play with it.

 

Before:



After:



Obviously, it stinks more, but at least those catalytic convertor theives won't be gettin' my cat anymore!!! And yes, it's the shiniest part on my whole truck.

 

you traded your gorgeous 2 door 4Runner for that?

 

Where did you get that piece?

 

I ordered it from LC Engineering. It was $75 for the 17.5" one. There's a shorter one that costs $70.

 

Wow, they are making some huge profit on that.

 

lol yeah they are... I think i got mine for like 15 bucks?

Unless you can weld in california or other states with emissions, exhaust shops wont make it for you as they can lose their license.

 

Well, it's nicely made, and the inside of the flanges are nicely machined to fit OEM style exhaust gaskets. Plus, I can't weld.
I've got no complaints.

 

That is very well made, Did it get raspy or louder?

 

You know, I thought it'd get louder and more raspy, but since I only have the stock muffler on there, it didn't get any louder. I was surprised. It does feel like I've gotten a smidge more midrange power though.

 

If you aren't gonna go bigger i would lower it a lot.
is that a 4 inch body lift?
it might be the fiber glass fenders that make it look so tall in the front.
It looks rather tippy.

 

i'd pull the BL, shorten the axles to 58.5 WMS ( I think thats wagoneer length ), pull a few leafs, and put it on 35s-37s.

 

Yeah I really wanted to do some serious fabrication and couldn't bring myself to start cutting on that 2 door... This truck has a killer base, a ton of the expensive stuff is done and just needs to be tweaked and I just like it more.
