Well ladies and gentlemen, here it is. After 2 years of waiting I have finally started making noticeable progress. I put on the Icon coilovers set at 3 inches, tires and wheels, and a programmer! The wheels I originally bought were too wide with too much offset so I have them in my garage awaiting the fiberglass fenders that will allow them to clear. I added an SCT Xcal3 with custom tunes from VMP Tuning. Excellent service from VMP and I got my programmer in 5 days. I will have the stock 3.31s in it until February, but even with the stock gears the SCT makes this thing move! Much better than stock and I only lost 2 mpg. I have it set on 93 Octane performance tune.

Without further delay, here's some pics:



Yes, thats 35x12.5x17 Toyo M/Ts on 17x8.5 +25 MB TKO on a leveling kit, with no rub.



These are the wheels I had originally planned to put on. 17x9 +0 Level * Strike 6. There was no way they were going to fit with the stock front bumper and fenders. I need a prerunner and glass!



Nice little sunset shot.



Close up of the wheels and tires.



Will be getting a solid black mesh grille and FX4 headlights sooner or later, along with smoking the tails.



Not the best shot of how far they stick out. They stick out a little more than the picture suggests. About 3/4 to 1 inch. Oh and a little teaser for what shes packin in the brain.



Another good angle. And a shock of the Bill Effin Murray sticker. Any Chivers?

Alright guys. Thats what has come of her so far. Ill keep it updated as things change. Hopefully in February I can do the fenders, ADD bumpers, grille, lights and gears. Let me know what y'all think!

 

sweet rig!

 

Thank you sir.

 

Looks Great! Good taste.

 

Nice ride! Chive On!

 

looking good.

 

very nice truck! like a newer version of mine Chive on!

 

I like the red with the black wheels. That's a tough look! And the Bill Murray sticker Too tough to tame!

 

Thanks guys. I wasn't too happy with the black wheels at first, but they have definitely grown on me.

 

Great looking truck!!

 

I really like the black wheels with your red truck. The black door handles and tint seem to pull it all together. What about black plasti-dip on the bumpers and grill?

 

I'm getting custom prerunner bumpers made that look similar to Addictive Desert Designs bumpers, putting on a black mesh grille, smoking the tails and putting on black headlights in February.

 

Hellya!!! That is gonna rock

 

Very nice truck, bud! Great work!

 

Thanks guys. It feels nice to not be riding granpa style anymore. I actually look forward to driving it everyday now. Especially with the programmer. She's hauls butt.
