My daily driver "Prerunner"

How much were the flares? What all did you have to do to install them?

I'm interested in getting those for mine now lol, your truck looks good.

these cost me 700. 350 for fenders, shipping tax and paint.

they are direct bolt in, but some need a bit of adjustments.

Ive only got 83K kms on the truck (51,500 miles), so im trying to get it built before things start breaking. just had to replace my blend door actuator.

That's cool that they're bolt in, my buddy had an s10 and was doing flares and apparently on the s10 its a much bigger deal to put them on

a few new pics from this weekend. Everything is going great, i couldnt be happier with the truck. im getting more excited about my tires and soon the front end parts. the money is slowly coming together to make the purchase and finish off the main build on the truck.

Thanks.

Ive gotten my prices on the BTF arms, the proper camburg coils, and the bilstein shocks. Ive asked brandon to check on prices for radflo 2.0x8's, burgs 2.0 kit and gusset kit. Im thinking id rather do it right the first time for a little bit extra. Im also hoping my tires show up tomorrow. if they dont, i wont be making it down to the shop till monday morning at the earliest. I wish i had more to update you guys with, sales have be scary slow with nobody coming through the dealership. No idea why, but its not a good thing for getting this truck done. May is supposed to be the best month, and ill be just making my minimum...

So not a huge update, but i got my 33x12.5's mounted up. got a sweet deal on them, so im pretty happy. they sure are heavy though!

Before:

and they are now on.

Need to go wash the truck tonight!

Sweet! I like just the black wall, looks cleaner without letter. That looks cool with the old tires in the bed, like a prerunner haha. Are you just gunna sell your old tires?

you got it. They are up for sale, so my net difference wont hurt much.

still on the fence about shocks... ordering asap

 

[06RangerXLT]

Decided to go emulsion shocks. price isnt the issue, i just dont need resi's.

as soon as i sell my shit and grab my next pay, i'm making the order...FINALLY!

(its been too long i know)

 

[06RangerXLT]

Few changes.

So I went out to the truck tonight and threw my performance tune into the truck again as i had it on stock for servicing. Fired it up after wards and it sounded like a single piston dirt bike, pretty sure i was only running on 1 cylinder. ran for a few seconds and shut off. Im gonna guess it was a bad tune install so ill go out tomorrow and reset it. Had that happen once before on the mileage tune, so I'm not as worried as i could be lol.


Windsheild guy ended up calling me, the glass he ordered showed up with a massive scratch, so that won't be going in till tomorrow. (rain rain go away!)

Also pretty much finalized my order. Gotta keep in my head I'm building a daily driver not a trophy truck. every time i look at my bank, i start thing coil over long travel with dealers or linked. But no, not today. Im still iffy about the bilsteins being nice enough, but if i don't like them ill sell em and go 2.0 radflo's. Hey its only money.


Now to hope that i can get these parts before june 21st…
