A big reason, besides $$, that I haven't really looked for anything yet for my F.
The few that I've found, that I really like, are big $$$.

 

Well, all cars cost us money!

I like the Machined NVs as well but haven't decided yet. My FJ has the blacked out treatment so I'm going another way with the Tundra. Plus, it's my business vehicle, so have to figure out what works with the colors I have in addition to the stock white paint color. For now I'll likely keep the stock TRD wheels and paint the bead-lock rings to match my logo. I have a new trailer on the way so spending more money on the vehicles is on hold for now

 

Stop spending the 911 funds. Those are very important funds

 

We'll be alright Will just delay things a little bit.


Tundra will get the following:
LIft - Ordered
Wheels/Tires - Basically ordered
Running boards - ordered
Some cosmetic stuff (colored door handles, mirrors, front bumper where it's chrome in white) - ordered


That'll be it, maybe exhaust, but not in a rush




911 Plans
Clutch - In the garage already, just need to get put in
Wheels - been out getting rebuilt and refinished for a few weeks now (widened and color change, waiting on new hardware from CCW which has been a f'ing nightmare)
Turbo's/Injectors/New Tune - will be delayed a few months, goal is 550-600 AWHP

 

^ I'm resisting buying the Dirty Deeds header/exhaust combo myself...

 

yea, for me, i'm old. And I work from the car a lot. I need something with no drone. The exhaust i have on the 911 is drone free.



BTW, changed up wheels. NV's were backordered.....and found a place local that makes wheels only for toyotas. Went and picked these up today.

Suspension/Wheels/Tires will go on tomorrow.......car has 22 miles on it right now :grin:

 

post some pics man

 

It looks just like the stock photo I put up in the first post. Wait till I get some shit on it tomorrow.

 

Glad to hear the projects for the 911 are still on. That will be nice amount of power with AWD.

Interested in hearing the issues with CCW. They are one brands on my short list for wheels I am considering for next year for the Wagon.

 

The problem was with weld racing (they bought ccw and apparently all hardware ships from them). I ordered 120 new bolts/nuts/washers and 4 new valve stems. Original delivery was 10 nuts and a valve stem. My ccw guy was livid. Fired it up to the vp of ops and then there was a delay in parts being back ordered to them. All in all about 5 weeks to get.

When I ordered new barrels from them it toon less then 5 days to my door.

 

First mod. Removed the stupid stickers




Then realized all my detailing shit (adhesive remover) is in a box at the bottom of other boxes. So still some residue.

 

Dang 5 weeks for some hardware is crazy. I get why he was livid. Also had no idea Weld bought CCW.

 

No drone with the Dirty Deeds setup. That's what's making it so tough to resist!!

I like the new wheels. Can't wait to see pics once the truck has everything bolted on...

 

Now these, I like, especially their Stealth 6 in gunmetal.
Shame they're Toyota-centric.

 

i wanted the ray10's bad....but don't make for my size

 

Just noticed that they only make 18s in the ones you're getting.
I'd want to either stick with 18s or go to 20s. And, mine would wear Michelin LTXs, so no off-roading here.

 

If you're going to lift it and put on any off road accessories (regardless of if it ever does more than hop a curb) please stick with the 18's or even downsize to 17's. I always laugh when I see bro'ed out trucks with all the off road stuff and then they ride on 20's with thin side walls...

 

I know plenty of guys who offroad with no issues on 20's. that said I stuck with 18's

 

Define "off road" and what size tires go on those 20's?

Glad you stuck with the smaller ones!

 

I worked for Toyo for some time. Saw plenty of trucks out in the middle of America running our m/t's on 20's that truly got out to use.

 

I'm perfectly happy with 18s, tires are relatively cheaper, as compared to 20s too.
If I went to 20s, I'd likely just get the OEM F150 Sport 20s

 

Shop just sent me this

 

Debadged

 

Looks awesome!

 

Wheels and lift look great. It will look awesome when the chrome is gone.

 

Looks great! So glad I didn't have to deal with any chrome... but it's easily removed

 

yea, only pain is gonna be the front bumper corners.....and hte grill isn't cheap. Trying to decide if i go with the pro grill or not

 

Looks great, wheels work well on the white.

 

There's definitely people who do it, just not ideal for the purpose.

Sport 20's are greatif you don't bro out your truck.

 

Can always plastidip and clear for a temporary fix. I actually did that on my FJ Cruiser mirrors. Used black plastidip temporarily until I bought black mirrors.

Well, that was like 6 years ago. Still black though and I ended up saving a bit of money

 

Did mirror covers and handles today

 

Big improvement

 

Much better. When does the TRD grill show up?

 

Looks great!

I actually just ordered some handles that I am going to paint white as well. Think it will blend better... especially with my logo vinyled on the site of my truck

 

I got factory handles for CHEAP, don't paint white, buy them already white. I think it was like $100 for all 4 handles.

 

^ I only need 2 since I have a double cab. Where did you get them from? They are pretty expensive on eBay... even for a pair...

 

Cool springs toyota. Online dealer.

 

^ Cool I'll check them out. Found a set on eBay but for the pair they want almost $90!!

 

$14.95 a piece i think is what i paid
