I bought this truck 2.5yrs ago. When I got it, I rebuilt the shocks, replaced the terrible sounding true dual exhaust with a nice custom built 3.5” single exhaust, Baja Designs Squadron Pro’s on SDHQ a-pillar brackets, JLT intake and a tune that I was never really happy with. I also Installed methods, then replaced those with Gen2 beadlocks when I figured out the zero off set sucks. And did a lot of off-roading.
Fast forward to this year, things got more serious. I got the truck returned in town, and picked up ~20whp/20wtq. It’s getting Fox 3.0’s all the way around, the fronts with DSC. SDHQ tie rods and spindle gussets (welded on by Dertco), Icon upper arms Deaver K96 +3 leafs, camburg stock length shackles, and I had Dertco build a bump stop kit using Fox 2x2” bumps. I have a CBR radiator going in as well.
The spindle gusset were a pain. Lots of time with the torch and multiple passes to keep the weld from cracking. Sucks they’re not forged like Toyota spindles, would’ve been easier to do.
Here’s a lot of pics, not necessarily in order because the pic upload format sucks. The bumpstop kit is still at powder coat so I’ll get pics of that when it goes on.
Next on the list is going to be bumpers, 37’s, and 4.88 gears.
