"Drift" Build

These will be production. Just waiting for him to catch up!

 

He uses a handyscan and vxelements/vx model for the program. He's opposite, he's a great designer but still learning welding. I like low profile but he is more function over form so I'm sure it'll be a nice mix of both. Great protection and slim. I'll be posting here once that starts!

 

I chopped the lower portion of my factory bumper off and plan to add some tube work underneath. Just a thought. Looks like hubby has the skills and that way you'd keep the factoryish look.

 

I think I like the color blue..

 

Getting there. It all needs paint desperately haha

 

Nice. Are those aftermarket assemblies?

 

Yes, from Amazon.

 

Durobumps bump stop testing this morning

 

These should be finished and installed this weekend!

 

Much better

 

Looks good. What projector/ hid did you go with?

 

Thanks!

You reminded me to update the first page. Morimoto d2s 5.0, black passive demon eye, 50w ballasts, 4800k bulbs, profile rgb and switchback halos with the morimoto Bluetooth controller. Everything purchased from theretrofitsource.com

 

The smile on his face is priceless.

 

Cool picture my husband took and the newest addition

KAAAAAANGS

 

Nice! Hard to find used Kings for our trucks. Love the retros as well. I need to get in the garage and build mine, hate the aftermarket output I have right now.

 

Yeah my husband bought them the next day after he found them haha and thanks! I love building retros. These were too easy though. I can't wait to retro my lexus

 

I keep toying the idea of retros. But I can’t seem to convince myself to pull my new Toyota housings apart.

 

Psh it's easy dude. Definitely makes it nice having two people to hold and pull it apart. Just be patient and heat it up well enough

 

We’ll see how my 100watter bulbs and beefy harness work out. If I’m
Not happy retro will happen

 

Loving this build!! I'm picking up 1st gen double cab as soon as I get back from afghanistan. Just lurking for build inspiration, dont mind me

 

Is that front bumper custom ? I want one..

 

It was a brute force fab bumper. The one they currently make has small differences but you can contact them for one.

 

Makes me happy people save our build. I'm flattered! I try to expose the flaws like our bacon fender or mismatched camper and bumper, but everyone still loves it

Here's some quick parking lot pictures

 

Oh damn, you took the bumper off. Haha.

Good to see you're havin fun with my old truck.

 

Yeah a buddy really wanted it and made me an offer that was hard to refuse. I don't need it that bad haha

The truck hasn't changed too much. We've been house hunting so no money for the truck yet. My husband did mention the idea of building our own flip top camper

 

@Swalters , did you have to do any clearancing for the 34s when you had them? I'm debating stepping up to 285/75s.
