Vendeta2k’s 18 Cement Build

Have you had good luck so far with the interior precision leds?

 

Yep, no issues to date

 

I hope I don't get the fever as bad as you. My wife should kill me.

 

Im in the same camp dude- I thought she would notice the new wheels and tires...not a word. Meanwhile, clear bra and tinting on Thurs.
Anyway- here ya go

 

Yep that’s how it goes!

 

Do your tires sit flush with the fenders with the fuels/RGs? I am looking at 18" fuels but 285/70 RGs but deciding on the 20 offset or 1 offset. If you have pics showing this, can you please post? Thanks!

 

I'm curious too. I was going to try and stick with my stock wheels, but I'm thinking they need to go now. Your truck looks good BTW.

 

Was that a custom enclosure or a prefab from somewhere?

 

Custom ported enclosure for 2 Rockford P3 10’s. Think it’s just over 1.5 cubic feet which is perfect for those particular subs

 

They do stick out just a little bit...let me run out and snap a pic......

 

Really nice truck. I just bought the very same truck on 4/3/18. I'm in the process of figuring out which mods to make. Did you have to do any cutting in your front fender wells to prevent any tire rubbing? Or, did the 3-inch lift take care of that?

 

Had to remove the little front flap and I notched the front wells as I had just a bit of rub at full lock in reverse

 

Are the color matched mirrors and bumper corners Toyota factory parts that can be ordered, or were these custom painted by a shop? I have the Limited, and these parts are chrome colored.

 

They were custom done by Toyota of cool springs before they stopped doing custom colors. I believe you can get custom match parts through sparks parts. First thing I ordered were the mirrors and handles...along with the trd pro black emblems.

 

As a newbie to 4WD trucks and tires, just wondering if your new tires are as quiet on paved surfaces, as the factory Michelins.....

 

They are pretty quiet...no howling...only have about 4K miles on them so we will see, but others have upwards of 20k with no complaints

 

I know this is random but if you get a chance could you measure the front of your truck and see what the height of your front fender Is? Like from the ground to the bottom of the fender and then possibly from the center of your wheel (hub) to the bottom of your fender please. Truck looks great just curious how high your truck is sitting up front in relation to mine. Thanks!

 

Damn you have everything I want including all that cash!

 

As she sits in the driveway right now the fronts are just about 40” and the rear is 41”. That’s from the ground to the middle of the fender

 

Thank you sir. Any regrets on tire size ? I just went to 295s and fuel mpgs is killing me lol

 

Does the silver metra match the climate part well?
Btw I have the same air freshener

 

Nope....more than happy with my 275/70/18 ridge grapplers!

 

It’s pretty close but not 100%. Most people that have been in the truck don’t notice that it’s not a perfect match. Those air fresheners are definitely amazing! I find myself going back and forth between lime and squash! What’s your favorite?

 

Squash. Never tried lime. I use the case also that they sell.

 

I have the case in the corolla....need to pick up another but for now it’s just the freshener itself!

 

Finally.... Truck is at the dealership from a Jan 18th order... If copying is the best form of complement... My truck is going to be close to yours. You've done a great job not going over the top, yet making it unique. Well done! I can finally start putting the pieces on the truck that are hidden in the home .

 

Nice! I had a pile of goodies as well when she finally showed up!

 

UPDATE 4/16/18

A while back I swapped out the NFAB podium steps with Go Rhino RB10 boards.

 

I like that look. I got the RB20, kinda wish I got the RB10 but oh well. Did you not like the NFAB podiums?
