    Long overdue build thread.

    Not a fan of posting **** to show what I have or what I do, but I owe this place and everyone here at least that much. The information shared and the help given on this forum is second to none, not sure I could have managed this much without it. I do most of the work (including suspension) and reach to the pros when needed... so here goes.

    From bone stock

    To the following mods:

    Suspension
    -King 2.5" w/adjusters
    -DK Lower Arms
    -DK Spindle gussets
    -ICON billet uppers
    -Durobumps
    -RXT leaf pack + Coachbuilder bushings
    -ICON air bumps
    -TC cam tab gussets

    Armor, Performance & Other useful things
    -RCI full aluminum skids
    -RCI bed bars + awning mounts
    -TC bed stiffeners
    -Relentless Offroad corner tie downs (these also stiffen up the bed!)
    -Eaton e-locker
    -Nitro 4.88 gears + Toyo 35's
    -EBC yellowstuff brake pads
    -Solid Offroad engine mounts
    -Jowett Performance Oil filter cannister
    -Harmon Customs automatic traction control disabler
    -Dirty Deeds 8" muffler
    -Coachbuilder driveshaft drop kit
    -Wilco Bed tire mount (for now, will thing of something else later on)
    -Herculiner (rolled)
    -DeeZee Heavy bed mat

    Interior
    -AJT Chrome delete + buttons
    -Wet Okole neoprene seat covers
    -Rago Fab dash mount
    -Heatshield "gold" sun shades-full cab (absolutely love these)
    -DIY underseat storage (plese dont ask for pics, LOL)
    -Center console organizer
    -Toyota TRD shifter
    -Toyota driver side grab handle

    Exterior
    -
    Chrome delete
    -Debadged it a little
    -Toyota LED headlights


    Waiting for install
    -PML deep transmission pan
    -Genuine Cooling's trans cooler
    -SDHQ brake lines
    -Spark's sourced color matched grille

    Apologies for the lack of pictures, I inadvertently deleted them during a phone cleanup.

    There's not much else to do as far as mods go, bumpers and lights might be the last pieces of the puzzle, will do shock tunning and highly likely gonna box the back half of the frame. Other than that, truck is near complete.

    Will update when there's something worth sharing
    Anyway! thanks for all the help :cheers:

    Edit: Found some on the 'gram, even forgot to mention Icon's tube uppers were there first, but alignment sucked with those.

    The truck looks sick! How's the rear flex with the Icon Leafs and the King shocks? That's the exact setup I'm thinking of running.

    Lots of good and usable flex, stock can't match at all. This setup is only second to bypass shocks and long travel.
    Upgrade to poly bushings and liner between leafs, silent and less undesired lateral flex :thumbsup:
