When I picked it up

 

[Firemedic831]

Today I trimmed a fender a little more ( it was not rubbing ) I just do not like seeing the holes from the oe fender flairs. Then I did a test on the color .

 

[Mike Shull]

Cool. Thanks for starting this thread. Did you bob the bed on this truck?

Yes . At first I thought I was just going to pull the parts I wanted off of it . Then I thought I would just do a body swap. Put the double cab on the ex cab frame ( same frame just 4 different mounts ) . Then I thought I really don’t want to be wheeling real hard stuff with a car load of people so keep the ex cab for that and build the double cab for more mild stuff .

 

[Firemedic831]

I am going to build this one into a more mild build ( I think ) Run 37s and add a Supercharger. 3 link front 4 link rear with trailing arms . . It’s all stock with just an icon lift and some 265s. .

Mild = 37s? I’m still running 31s on my 4Runner. Ha. I agree with Evan, the double cab does look clean. You should put FJ40 fenders on the bobbed truck…maybe the full front clip.

I love seeing body cut out of a vehicle to wheel better. Makes me feel better about my garbage
Can't wait to see how this thing does in a few weeks!

 

[peesalot]

Few weeks ?

 

[Firemedic831]

Few weeks ?

We are going to Johnson Valley And I am running down to run Fordyce

 

[Firemedic831]

I had to respray the fender. And it turned out ok this time. Then I did another sample just to make sure I like the orange . . Then I messed with the bumper a little more I got some 1 1/2 x 1/4 square tube Now the fun part. Tie the corners in .

 

[Firemedic831]

I think I am going to use Cement grey Black and the orange

 

[Firemedic831]

And there we go

 

[GW Nugget]

I'm a lover of but wow, that is beaming neon super safety right there... are you going to tie it in with a 2 or 3 tone? Orange goes with everything. Grey, black, white, purple, blue even tan.

 

[matzell]

I love the orange! My favorite color.

 

[Firemedic831]

Did a little more work on the bumper today I will finish it up this week

 

[Firemedic831]

Then I worked on the doors . The crackled part looks really cool

 

[Firemedic831]

In hindsight I probably should not have done the black stripe but I think it will come together when it’s all done The majority of the bed will
Be black
