Whats up everyone,
Wanted to document my build out of the 2004 i just bought. Ill list out the mods i already have on order and post a bunch of pics of the mods as I get them installed.
Stock 2004 4x4 Avay w/163,800.
Mods Installed this week:
Amber DRLS
Plasti Dipped Grill and Emblem
Mods on the way:
17x9 Raceline Clutch rims (-21mm offset)
Toyo Open Country M/T 35x12.5x17
Ready Lift 2.5" Front 1" rear Leveling Kit
Cognito PITMAN, IDLER ARM SUPPORT KIT
Bushwacker 2" fender flares
Corvette Servo
Taylor Cable Black 10.4mm ThunderVolt 50 High Performance Spark Plug Wire (PN#98003 Black)
Cold Air Intake (Scored of Craigslist for $70)
*window tint (i'm not doing it so technically its not a mod i will be hands on with)
I know this is going to be a tight fit and lucky for me my brother in law has already done serious fender trimming on several rigs along with several years of welding. There will definitely be some fender trimming coming up. Stay posted for pics!!!!
To put the icing on the cake, we also started a new biz selling LED light bars and we are mounting several in the grill and several in the rear upper cladding(over the rear window). I will give specs on all the lights and how we plan on wiring them. All the switches will be hidden or tied into factory buttons to keep a clean look on the interior.
A stereo will most likely arrive before i start pulling the motor apart. As for future mods, i plan on doing a cam and springs in the near future with a BlackBear tune by Justin. This will probably be around summer time as I'm using the truck as my daily driver right now. Ive already done some research on the LS6 camshafts which look like the most cost effective way to go. Anyone has any input on the springs and cam package they are running would be great.
