DK’s TRD Pro Build

LOL yea that will happen.

 

Ours has been crap lol wrote a check last December lol. Yah it’s nice tho 3 acres love the land for sure.

 

Solid. Can't wait to get some land myself! But I hope all that gets buttoned up soon!

 

The squadrons beam for wide cornering is at least lower and tighter. The XL wide cornering is like an aggressive flood haha. They reach out further than my headlights too haha

 

Or why is a plane landing on the highway lol

 

The two guys in front of me hit a huge section of standing water going 50mph after a nasty storm on the way to Moab and we all scrambled haha. But the fogs literally will throw across a big median, the oncoming lanes, and light up the tree line on the opposite side of the highway. I got flashed a LOT going back from Moab, but I flashed them back haha. Better to see and not smack a deer!

hahahaha

 

Loved seeing this pic on your instagram. As I said over their, always love to see the trips you go on! Great photos and looks like a great time. Thanks for sharing on the forums too!
Best,
Brock Brunkhorst

 

Appreciate the love!

 

Time to cut the bedsides. Should’ve done this a long time ago, but that hitch is a pain by yourself haha.

 

Lookin good brother!

 

Looks great! Subbed!

 

Sweet Tundra man. Any thoughts about what bumper your gonna run?

 

I'll probably just have my fab guy mock up a tube bumper like I did up front. I'll more than likely have provisions to mount my S2's in the bumper so I can relocate them from behind the cab.

 

Hey would u be able to ask ur guy how much it would cost to build a c4 front bumper. I don’t wanna do the lead times

 

He aint "cheap" but I ran the numbers... for what it costs to buy and ship a bumper you'll save a little bit to have him build it and then paint/powdercoat yourself. He's built a couple of plated bumpers and they look pretty damn good.

 

That’s ok 4 months to build a bumper is a joke lol. I don’t have any social media but that’s good to know maybe I’ll call him

 

Calling him is a good option. Communication isn't "great", but they do good work. I haven't had any issues with the fab work whatsoever.

 

Or maybe better to go in

 

That’s what I did. I just showed up and laid out everything I wanted done (ended up waiting way longer than anticipated for the parts to show up). But he built everything on the truck. Hey may have some input, but Alex is solid. Cash may save you a little bit too

 

Sounds good, cant wait to see the finished product.

 

I want to remove my 6” pro comp lift and go an Eibach set-up. Any chance you can take a quick photo of your boxed crossmember? Just need an idea so I can do the same when I remove my bracket lift.

 

What are your thoughts on the ads bumps in the back? Worth the investment?

 

I actually don't. It looks factory (pros of having a plasma table at the fab shop). It's got a couple gussets inside, but it all is dependent on where the shop that installed your lift cut the crossmember. Luckily for me mine was only cut barely wider than the driveshaft. The cutouts/holes are identical to factory.

 

If you can spend the coin I think they're solid. But to be fair if you're only doing crawling and not jumping the truck and a lot of go fast just get durobumps. Such a solid product.

 

Finally hacked up the bedsides. Hit the cuts with clear coat and installed a rubber trim around the edges. I love how visible the bypass shocks are from behind

 

My lift kit was installed prior to my ownership so I don’t know what stock hardware I need to source to remove the lift.

 

Do you still have those BDS crossmembers, spindles, or skid plate by any chance?

 

I don't brother. For whatever reason that bracket lift gave me some serious alignment issues. Replaced everything even down to a rack/pinion and couldn't get the truck to sit right. I've seen you absolutely punish yours on YouTube. Man.... I didn't think it was possible and you proved me wrong.
