Builds 'Ele'Ele Build

[Ayune]

The front looks super clean with the Lights and grill by @kelly saad and then the clear turn lenses, great contrast clean and mean. Makes me want to upgrade to that look.

I want some clear lenses. Where did you get them?

You can get OEM Toyota units from Partsouq.com:
81511-60490, UNIT ASSY, FRONT TURN SIGNAL LAMP, RH, $48.53
81521-60360, UNIT ASSY, FRONT TURN SIGNAL LAMP, LH, $48.53

I just ordered mine today, came to $132 including DHL 3-day delivery.

FYI I've read our OE bulb sockets need to be trimmed ever so slightly to fit.

Measured everything out for the 100 Creeper Skid Plate today. I'll get it on the rack Wednesday and get one knocked out for everyone's viewing pleasure.

Yup, I have both the DEPO and Genuine Toyota clear lense in stock. =)

I will buy the lenses what I get some extra $$$ to throw at my LC. Thanks!

Here's a shot of mine with the new Upper Control Arms mounted.

Finished up the swing arm design for the rear bumper this afternoon. Will try to get everything cut this week.

Then onto the two section roof rack.

Took Ele up to Shasta ski park this morning and had breakfast with my bride.

I've had a few emails and PMs about the center tire rear bumper I'm building. I never had a plan to make it a Trail Tailor offering. I may make another for a MUD member here, but that's about it. Sorry guys.

That's too bad. Your 200-series rear bumper in person is some fine, fine work.

Platinum and black vein. Will be using the 3M emblem adhesive.

If/when time allows... 1" body lift.

1" body lift- I had the impression 3/4" was about max with out making any changes to fan shroud mounting, steering link/column and some other extensions? Ive been considering +10-12mm body lift pucks so I didn't have to modify anything else. Definitely interested in your next steps. Thanks

Unless I read it wrong, at 1" all is still good with about a 1/4" to spare. I'll verify once I get going on it.

Nice! It’s about time someone else offered a body lift kit! I remember back when Duiser used to offer one and it seems many people had negative feedback regarding his quality and customer service. Is that HDPE??

These are UHMW poly. If I make into production they will more than likely be made from 6061 aluminum.

@spressomon installed a 12mm and said he had approx. 1" of room remaining afterwards.

Very cool new build, Jason. Can't wait to see the finished bumpers!

 

[TRAIL TAILOR]

I would offer BL kit/s in a 1/2" and 1" version (aluminum).

I already have the pucks drawn (easiest part) and just waiting on more input and my experience for install and instructions.

The 1/2" can re-use the stock bolts best I can tell, while not having much impact on bumper/slider aesthetics and the 1" would need radiator stretch brackets and longer bolts, not to mention custom bumpers/brackets and sliders to make the mod look perfect. Which I will make mods for my new bumpers and re-weld my sliders to match.

Front bumper has already changed. So I'll post it when it's completely finished one of these days.
