The Bad Attitude Build!

Got the Beadlock Rings in and Cab Mount Chop plates.

Just waiting on Suspension from the shop to let me know when to head in. I'm ready to go finally and can't wait to see it complete

 

have you thought about wheel spacers at all

 

Nope, Not a spacer kind of guy. Bought the wheels in the size I wanted to avoid using them.

 

The Dobison IMS came in! Made the appointment at RoamOverland in Tampa for the Install as part of winning the setup. Monday is the day and I can't wait

In the mean time I ended up finally installing the black out badges to get rid of any exterior chrome. Much better, although I did like it debadged completely lol

 

Saturday night I went to a buddies to weld in my Cab Mount Chop. We decided to tackle this on our own, Which was a bit consuming but worth it.

While I was doing that, I ended up installing the SPC control arms as well!

It is now dropped off at Roam Overland Outfitters for the Dobison IMS install and RRWs with 35s get put on. Excited!

 

Omg can’t wait to see it!!! I need to get the body mount chop done so badly

 

Thanks man, Me neither! Just got a call and they are wrapping it up. At work for the remainder of the day but excited to see it. I'll be posting some pics once it's done and wiped down 8)

If you have the tools/friends DIY it, It was worth the time spent and money saved but def a nice piece of mind having it. If you were closer, I'd help!

 

I'm extremely happy with the outcome, Roam Overland Outfiiters in Tampa knocked it out of the park!

They even detailed the entire under carriage looks like a brand new truck now!

 

I really need to make it over there.. I am afraid for my wallet to make the trip across the bridge though LOL.

OP... Loving this thread!

 

Where's the pics?

 

Much appreciated!

They're a great shop for a very reasonable price IMO. I couldn't think of any other spot to go! Plus, Jimmy makes it feel like you're apart of the crew. Give them a call and go over it, Tell him you saw the build!

 

Technical difficulties uploading the photos for some reason. Trying again now!

 

Here it is!

 

Roam is putting together a video for it for their YouTube as well, Excited to see it!

I'll have to get some better pictures this weekend or even better: Next weekend when we go on our off road trail day

 

Looks great! When you get some time on that suspension, post up a review.

How much did you lift it?

 

Thanks brotha!

Will do. Saturday I get it fully aligned, Then the weekend after is our Off road trip with some friends and Roam Overland. Once I get back I'll have a nice review. Right now, without alignment and only a few miles: It's very smooth and solid. Rides better then OEM actually.

The IMS kit is 3IN

 

Nice.

How much lift in the the rear?

It's definitely one of the lifts I'm considering on my new build. I was on Bilstein 6112/5160 on my other Tundra. But, I'm thinking I may go a different route on the new truck.

 

Here is the kit itself. I ended up 2in block in rear. I had Bilstein on my Tacoma and liked them, But can already tell these seem superior honestly.

Awesome, thanks. Definitely interested to hear more details when you get some time on them.

 

Very nice!

 

Thank you sir!

 

Damn that looks so good!!!

 

Appreciate it! I'm in love all over again lol

 

Love your directness lol.

I will before I want to for sure. Waiting to get some coin recovered from my previous vehicle before I go exploring to much else. But when I do, I will.

 

Lol sweet. I understand that for sure. You in St Pete?

 

Got the alignment today! Rides much better but will need to buy some Coachbuilder Steering rods to help get it 100%.

Also, The front bumper plates come in today so I'll be tossing those on to help clear the tires.

Also, My buddies Tacoma made an appearance!

 

I was also able to get the Bumper plates on from Coachbuilders. Didn't help as much as I hoped but it did help some.

Going to buy new bumper liners and mold them to not have the cut in them.

 

Did the anytime camera install this afternoon. Ended at night so didn't get great pics of finishing it up.

I ran it along the harness between the grill and Radiator to hide the wiring as much as possible. Came out great! Going to add some final touches and adjust it this week, But it's done

 

I completely forgot that you were in Tampa. What offset are your wheels? I'm running 285/70/18 Ridge Grapplers on a 0 offset. I'd like to go a little bigger but the offset isn't helping my case. What is your average mpgs with the 35's?

 

Where you around?

They're 17x8.5 +0 with 35x12.5. Shouldn't be too bad honestly.

My first tank with them. At half a tank left right now and I'm bouncing between 10.3 and 10.4 lol
