Wilco3's Build *In Progress*

more pics with tire holder in place

Tuff-Country 2inch leveling kit installed yesterday and it works great....also stuck some cheap plastic lights on the bar and knocked out the fog light inserts so that when i get the kit from West Covina i will be ready to go....pics coming later today

pics of the leveling kit and the winning item of the poll...planning to go ebay hunting for one soon

09Fronti6sp4x4- Yeah i saw that one, still looks like it requires drilling though

mustard23-of course and the higher your center of gravity the more you tip-over...i'm just 4x2 so not planning to worry about too many high speed corners or much crawling

UPDATE ON TRUCK: the fog light kit is now installed and i took it out this weekend for a 150 mile drive through some dirt roads and muddy trails(pics below)

Been a while since I've been on but I wanted to throw on some pics for ya'll

@AndrewVK: you mean my signature pics?...yeah they are Hiluxs' from the movie district 9 and while showing Yota pics is probably a hanging offense on this board ops1: i love the way they built those trucks

@glamisdude72000: yeah the water was just a stress load to see if it could take the weight ( i had my buddy sit on top of the water after that pic just to see if the rack and bars could hold it (cheap weld testing). I'm toying with adding one of these tanks for water and have bought some 5 gals

some more updates...

Suspension:
so i pulled out the daystar leveling spacers up front and replaced them with new rancho coil overs for about the same 2 inch lift. Still fine-tuning the shock adjustments and saving for some spindles to get me the height i want. out back i'm running the PRG shackles and dealers for about 3.8 inches of actual lift.



Engine:
I installed a K&N intake which was a piece of cake though I am a bit worried about debris and and water since the box isn't sealed. Also I bought a BullyDog GT and got it nestled next to my CB in the cubby under the HVAC controls.




Exterior:
Blacked out grille and a sick-speed dual-tone horn replacement. Hella lights up top and rear facing Baja spots



Problems:
I developed a nasty leak from my washer fluid reservoir, probably took a nasty rock his at some point since it lives right above the fender well. If seen a bunch of people have similar problems here and on New-X but haven't had the time to pull it out yet.

it was a little trick to pull the old horns without taking out the headlight or air box....i made a T shaped bracket to mount the new ones and just added to wire to reach the new mount. The horns came with instructions for wiring with or without a relay and i didn't wire one in.

Got some new drilled and slotted rotors, just installed the rear ones. I'm waiting to do the front rotors until I am installing the next phase of the front suspension. I can't decide between doing CST spindles, a Calmini 5 inch kit (if i can get just the front) or some combo of PRG UCA's and spacers.
