1995 T100 SR5 Build-up

Finally starting a thread for this. I got this truck at the end of last summer with big dreams for it. It is a 1995 T100 SR5 4wd with 275000 miles on it, and the previous 2 owners had babied it the whole time. The only things replaced was the transmission selinoids and the muffler, which the changed to a performance muffler after the first one wore out. They also added a really nice spray-on rhino lining to the bed, and a leer camper shell (which i took off for now). The mods that I have made so far include: removing mud flaps and wheel well trim, stuck an old cb radio inside, rubber coated the wheels in black, and removed the air dam to take measurements. I am gonna be taking off the whole front bumper soon and adding a custom tune bumper that i am making in shop class. I also plan on fogging the tail lights and driving lights in the next couple of days. Ill post pictures as soon as i figure out how to haha. Any advice is welcome

So im looking to replace my rear bumper on my t100 with a tube bumper that has corner gaurds. i was wondering if anyone has plans for one. It would preferable be made out of 1.5 inch (1 7/8 inch) schedule 40 tube. it will also need a place to mount the license plate and lights. thanks

So i ended up just going with a 2 tube design for the rear bumper, but i don't like the way it looks so im gonna be adding a third tube soon probably. I also built a roll bar and am just waiting for a day when i can go to my school and finish making the brackets. Next on my list was slider bars, but i'm gonna wait until i lift it to put those on because im thinking on making nerf bars that double as sliders so that its easier to get in and out of. As far as lifting goes, im going to have to combine a lift kit and body kit so that i can fit the set of 35x12.5r15 tires that im getting from my coworker. It looks like the only options are trailmaster and superbuilt, but rough country makes a kit that might fit. It says its for 86-95 ifs toyota pickups. Anyone know if it would fit on the t100?

Couldn't tell you I picked mine up all ready lifted. What rubber coating did you use on the wheels. Im going to paint mine black just trying to figure out the best way. I don't want it flaking off all the time.

I went to ace hardware and picked up some rattle can plasti dip. Its 10 bucks and just sprays on. Its not something permanent though and peels off easy. I would reccomend getting them powder coated if you want something durable.

Ya idk either haha sorry. Seems like that would work pretty well, and if it did chip you could touch it up easily.
