Well, went to The Lady's family this weekend for her sisters graduation, and had some free time and knew a place I could work the truck a bit to see what I need to do next. Photo time!

Looks like a fun get away from the family lol. Your TB looks great. Looks like you need a body lift though. Yes I'm taking about the truck...

My list of things to do keeps getting longer (In no order):
Finish my interior
Rock sliders
Tire carier
89's in front, CR25 in back
1" body lift (or 3" cant make up my mind...)
New rear end
Control arms
Winch
Roof Rack
Lights
Limiting straps

And I have a trailer I want to build and have usable by spring...

That's around my neck of the woods, well..... Sort of. About 1.5hr south of me. About 45 mins north of there in Tompkins county lyes a bunch of great spots in the finger lakes region. Bunch of gorges in and around Ithaca, NY.

I would do the body lift before sliders... You'll have to relocate them if you don't.

I didn't know a 2 inch BL was avail?
I know Zone makes a 2" and High Voltage has a 3"

Looks great. It somewhat reminds me of the legendary AlekG truck in it's beginning stages.

I'll offer a dissenting opinion regarding the body lift - leave it off.

by **JCrayton99** » Tue Jun 26, 2012 11:53 am

Sliders- I was going to go along the lines of making more of a running board that would act as a slider. The Lady is short and complains about having to jump in.

Body lift- I was thinking of doing the 1" BL only because Im still rubbing quite a bit. Ill fin out if I need it after I get new springs.

James, I'm curious as to why you wouldn't want the body lift?

by **JCrayton99** » Tue Jun 26, 2012 12:22 pm

Its 'unuseable' lift. Same reason Im not a fan of it I assume.

Basically.

Plus it serves to raise the center of mass, resulting in more roll. With a big ol RTT up there, I don't want to raise the mass center further.

Although, I'd like to someday still have 33s or 34s... but the main thing standing in my way is not tire clearance, it's gearing.
