Flinn's 2019 MG Maui Build

Just drove this beauty off the lot here on Maui. Traded in the 2016 Tacoma for an MG 4x4 Sport so I can fit the addition of a 3rd kid.

Hoping this build page can help out for some just as other threads have helped me tremendously! I am and always will be a DIY truck mod-er(?) Feel free to PM with questions!

UPDATE 12/16:
All Parts have arrived and are waiting patiently in the garage. Hoping to get the truck on stands next week when my wheels arrive. put in my dog setup - a custom cut piece of astroturf ($50 at home depot) and a Bushwacker tie-down leash. Charlie LOVES it.




UPDATE 12/20:
Wheels are delayed (Hawaii...SMH) but I did get to modding out a little storage box from an old Ammo can I had in the garage (Found that idea somewhere on here). Also installed my old Waterport from my previous Tacoma build and Blacked out my center brake lamp with some Night Shades.











UPDATE 12/30:
Officially have installed all of the suspension components. Did everything myself in the driveway with hand tools, a few loud obscenities and 9/10 bloody knuckles. Proud to say the least. Here are the pics of the components installed. Full pics to be updated later this week when my wheels/tires are installed.

Beautiful truck...Congrats on the new purchase and the inbound kiddo!

 

Congrats on your Tundra purchase. Great looking truck

 

Nice looking truck, of course I might be biased based on having a similar truck. I went with a similar set up suspension wise.

 

I am hoping that Method has a black friday sale.

 

Sweet rig Flinn. I'll tag along for the build.

 

You and I both! Really hoping for some kind of discount. Shipping costs to Hawaii are criminal.

 

UPDATE AS OF 12/30

It took quite some time to sort out how and where I would get all of my suspension components but it finally happened. I officially installed everything other than my wheels/tires which should be mounted and balanced no later than Friday.

No full pictures until I am no longer running the stocks because it looks absolutely ridiculous at the moment. FRIDAY!!

 

Do you have a pic of your front sway bar drop bracket kit installed? Assuming you had to do that so your links would hit your coilovers?
