n0rth's Platinum build

I picked them up on eBay, here's the description TRD Wheel Center Hub Cap Sticker Decal 2.44" Diameter, Brand New OEM I have been looking for a new set of stickers for another set of caps I picked up since the first set is a little small. I was looking at these
https://www.ebay.com/itm/203805400353 for the next set but curious to see what you find. Your truck looks great I saw it in the 37's thread and checked out your build keep up the great work.

 

Appreciate it. Haven't updated that build thread in ages lol. I broke down and ended up ordering 2 beat up ebay RW caps (need one for my spare) that I'll refinish black with the red TRD overlays I have.

 

Just got word bumper is powder coated and hopefully pick it up this afternoon.

 

Easiest way to transport after PC, we’ll pull it back off to load it up with the winch and lights.

 

Some additional pics of the bumper this morning, had to take out some juniper branches last night getting into a spot.










Have a busy afternoon planned, see what we get done today.

 

Good day, I’d turn the lights on but we didn’t make it that far. Wiring the Switch-Pros is the last thing I need to do for the lights.

 

Looks badass

 

I was able to get the Switch Pros 9100 installed and the wiring roughed in, still have some cleanup to do but everything works. The Baja Designs lights are amazing, I've never been into lights but I'm glad I went all in and got the good stuff. Thank you to Hotshot Offroad @memario1214 -SOB Fabrication @STravis -SDHQ and Offroad Alliance.

Got some snow at home in NM

 

Wondering where you got this trd sticker or stick-on decal?

 

I picked them up on ebay, this was the description (4 PACK) TRD Wheel Center Hub Cap Sticker Decal 2.44" Diameter, Brand New OEM

I have been looking at these as well https://www.ebay.com/itm/2038054003...NATED Vinyl Decals Stickers Kit 83mm Any Size

 

I missed your reply on the other individual. Thank you for answering it still. I might fill the KMC with epoxy to level it.

 

Have you installed this yet? Curious about the details on how it sits in "our" bumper.

 

It's installed, we had to clock and grind the clutch/free spool lever since it's huge and mounted the control box in an interesting spot but I like how it turned out. I'll get some close up picks and post them in the next few days once the weather improves.

 

Will be interested to see for sure. My next bumper purchase left is a winch.

 

Here are some pics of the winch and control box in the bumper.

 

Stocking up on firewood the last few days.








My add-a-leafs for the Dakars are still sitting in the corner of the garage, I need to make some time and put them on.

 

I haven't updated the thread for awhile, ran into an issue this winter with one of the rear blind-spot monitor plugs it packed with ice and salt the result ended up blowing a fuse and shutting down just about everything in the cab. It took me a day or so to figure it out, the fix was terminating the plugs and replacing a fuse. It was a lot of headache for something that could have been avoided if I would have just packed the plugs in dielectric grease and taped them after installing the rear bumper.

 

Built a bed platform to store skis under and the camp boxes, coolers and other gear fit on top nicely. We also installed the OME add-a-leafs for the extra weight.

Funky panos





Installed the Coachbuilder HD tie rod ends prior to the trip.

 

Ski season is over, time to go biking...

 

The truck has been in work mode lately on a planter box project hauling lumber and mulch. We finished up this afternoon with soil, I was able to borrow my buddies 12ft dump trailer. I'm glad we added the OME add-a-leafs the extra capacity has been really helpful for this project.

 

Killer build man! How do the OME's ride with the front bumper and winch? They seem to be the best best value option for our trucks but they were stiff on my old Tacoma.

 

Thanks, the OME is fairly stiff but seems to work well with the bumper and winch.

 

Deadly build ! Your Yota is looking bad a$$!

 

New tire preparation at SOB fab shop, cab mount chop and pinch weld modifications to fit 37’s.














37’s go on tomorrow, pics to follow.

Big thanks to @STravis

 

Before and after shots, went with Kanati Trail Hogs in a 37x12.50r17 load range E with 10 oz of Checkered Flag balance beads, previous tires were Kenda Klever RT 35x10.50r17 load range D. We also found new TRD center caps to freshen up the wheels.

 

Hell ya!

 

Cab mount clearance shots, still need to drive it more but so far everything looks to clear if not BFH time.

 

Rode Moto this weekend and went up to one of our local Lookout towers.
