OK guys after working on my junk all last week I finally got to test it out at URE Nat. Forest yesterday. I don't have any wheeling pics at all since it was pooring rain the entire time and super nasty muddy. I hate mud!! I think it done well overall. I also installed a 1" 4Crawler BL and a rear lock rite. I would highly reccomend all of these mods especially the locker it performs great offroad and I personally can't even tell I have it on the highway. I will include a little before and after for ya! It still has a long way to go but it all takes time and well $$$$$$.

When I bought it back in March 06


How it sits today



It has a little more rake in the rear in the rear than I was looking for but I am hoping it will settle some after next weekend at Tellico

Wow looks great!
I especially like how the whole truck looks on an overcast day better.

Wow - what a transformation! Nice work!

Thanks guys I owe all the Thanks in the world to you guys here at Yotatech. I bought this thinking you couldn't wheel an IFS rig. WOW was I wrong. Thanks to all that have helped me along the way and I look forward to sharing some of my experiences with upcoming newbies. Thanks aginn Yotatech, you guys ROCK!

Yeah it looks really nice. Im sure it preforms well too.

I think your best mod are definetly the TRD stickers. They add a lot of HP and really help for offroading. I have some, and it was like night and day!

those 5 stars look awesome and so does the lift!!! I wont be running 285s anytime soon after I do my lift.. prob winter or so

yeah, it looks great, the lc's do a good job of lifting the rear up a bit and I like the additional 1" BL you have in there, I am debating on the 1" myself, enough that each of my slider mounting points are gonna have additional holes 1" above ... with the lift I have and 285's mine just looks so stock though, the way it shoulda came from the factory

JHupp

Wow dude, lookin' good, what size spacers do you have up front? Also, how was the hit on power when you went up to 285s? I'm thinking 285s next, but I do not want to re-gear. Sharp looking, I beat myself up everyday for not buying a black truck.

hlpressley

Thanks man. I am running 1/4 wheel spacers all the way around and I noticed little to no power loss from the 285's. I feel like I have plenty of power but I don't expect a whole lot out of a 6-cylinder.

wjwerdna

is that 1/4 wheel spacers?

hlpressley

Thanks for all the compliments guys. Next on the mod list is a front bumper and winch then hopefully a rear bumper and full skids. I hope to be able to order the bumper next month and I have already ordered my winch (Warn 9.5xp).

hlpressley

Sorry I fixed it.

Your truck looks great.
Can't wait to see it in action at Tellico

hlpressley: Truck looks great! I am going to be hopefully putting the tundra/lc lift on this year!

ecchamberlin

It does look bad A$$.

Nice transformation.

Harold do you notice any difference in braking? mine seems to take longer to stop with the 285's

neliconcept
