Lifted the truck
r71 decided to put a small body lift on his truck. Obviously, it was a lot of work to do a full color change to the truck plus modify the suspension heavily. Even cut off the rear brackets on the rear end, smoothed them out, and relocated and welded them to get it right. No stone was left unturned. Truck can be jumped when he has some bigger tires - and still is daily driveable on the interstate.
bad ass truck that lift had to take time to get all the parts in
Took about 2 weeks to do it all. He has a shop, so he had multiple guys to work on it. It took that long because he has 2 other projects going on right now also for himself - not including customer work.Originally Posted by BITCHING
thats retarded stupid

should have spent his money on a real monster truck, in stead of halfa$$ing it.
Half-a$$ing? This is just a daily driver, and can be jumped. Do you have any idea what it takes to do a color change? Obviously, you don't have a clue.
Thats the truth, all that money and it still has leafs in the rear. Not to mention no front driveshaft, I guess it will get all the rim whores.... good job!
http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/ maybe he can check out some real builds...
Most of those guys have regular lifts - like my Chevy 4x4 - not very tall,and most of the older ones are on leafs (cheaper to lift). He needs a good straight axle up front before cutting a new driveshaft. Do you think this is his only truck?Thats the truth, all that money and it still has leafs in the rear. Not to mention no front driveshaft, I guess it will get all the rim whores.... good job!

He has this TRD FJ also.
i think if the suspension had been blue with some black true flames it would look a ton better, or the other way around
Trust me, I didn't like the colors, but it is his choice.
I followed this build on FSC...
What shop/car lot do you own?
r71 owns a shop in town. It's his truck.
But what shop? Im over that way all the time... Ive probably been there before. PM me if youd like.
lol talk him into a change. lol
ok but if he did not have a shop it wouuld have toke a long time to do it sense all the high $ parts are on that beast
Very true. He had several of his workers putting some time into it. He also re-did the interior, but doesn't like it, so the interior will get re-done again, plus he is looking to redo the axles again with something really heavy-duty. Then it will get a new big block (probably with a 671 blower), and a stronger tranny. Still has a long way to go for him to call it finished.
Yay for AutoGlo.
yeah i saw this truck down in pleasent hill one weekend, it looks pretty good, just needs alot bigger tires on it. it looks retarded with the tires it's got now. lol
i think this is pretty cool. how much did it cost him to do all this? over 5k?
:idb:
hah. do you mean over 50k ?
a 5 inch suspension lift for an f350 is over 5k.
i love how everyone is all OMG THATS STUPID like they wouldnt drive the **** out of it.
not too crazy about the colors but i still love lifted trucks like this. my buddy justin has a huuuuuge one. all paid for with sponsorships of course lol
but i mean, at least that blue one you posted is semi driveable on the street. that yellow one just sits in his yard all day long & goes to carshows every now and then.... hah.
why do peeps pick the worst colors...yellow on blue looks like crap...the FJ looks much nicer...
got to be rough on the tranmision

that truck is almost on the edge of insanity! and i have always been in love with those wheels!
ive got some 44's forsale for the right price
He needs 52's at least. Those are 40s on there now.
ha... wow, guy apperantly has tooo much money.

I would drive the **** out of it (if I could afford gas)

boooooostin'

that **** is rediculous

I respect the work, but give me that FJ over it any day.
X2 on that one. I'm not a huge fan of that truck to big for me. But that FJ is ****ing sick! I would have murdered it completely out instead of the red though. But to each his own!
That's funny that those 40" tire look so small on there. Can't wait to see it with the new ones. Where is this truck located I would love to see it in person.
