Welcome from WI!

 

Bought my truck in late 2012
... its a 2007 Crewmax 4x4 TRD Silver with gray leather interior.

First order of business was suspension, In the plans for Expo i knew i wanted clearance so bracket lift was the way for me. I wanted the strongest out there but nothing so high i risked breaking things because of it. So I ordered the BDS 7 kit with full 2.5 Remote resi Icons for good on and off road setup.

I also addressed wheels and tires. I first thought 17's w 35's but went w 18's and 35's

I also realized I needed body armor (front and rear bumpers)

I went with the Epxo One matching front and rear, with extra hoop for protection. (which are now for sale...)

I also added a Voliant intake and magnaflow cat back exhaust.

I realized after a few outings that I needed to upgrade my rear suspension and do a little more to the front end, So i added Upper control arms, and new dakar leafs, with coachbuilder +2 shackles as well as day star air bag cradles.

I have a flipbak bed cover and I wanted a RTT and rack, so I built my own (which is now for sale, Im building a new one.. just changing the design nothing wrong with the original). I can still access the bed and cover, and keep the locking sealed waterproof function of the bed and cover as well as a rack with my RTT.

I added coachbuilder tie rods to strengthen the steering components as well as a new power steering rack which we pulled the stock rubber bushings out and custom cut derlin ones for it.

I also have Method Double Standard 17x8.5 0 offset 4.75 Backspacing with BFG KO2's in 37x12.50 mounted

Also after having some SMOG troubles (****in cali and their bull crap laws) i ended up just biting the bullet and getting a TRD intake

Up next to be done my March

-4.88 nitro gears
-ARB rear locker
-ARB Front locker
-Full onboard via Viair 440p with 1gal ARB tank to use for Tire air up, Front and rear lockers and air bags (getting rid of the small pump i have just for the air bags)

To be done by May (I Hope)

-Front ADS Triple Bypass Shocks and hoops
-Rear ADS Triple Bypass Shocks in rear
-Custom High Clearance Tube front and rear bumpers (Custom built by me)

 

Welcome, Bruce.

Welcome from eastern CO! One hell of a build man, I always thought 37x12.5's would look good with a 7" lift.
