Which lift are you running? OME 2.5?

Yup and the rear springs are OME2863's

Looks great! I will be doing 2860s and the same tire size, so I should get a similar stance to yours because I won't have all the cool stuff on the front/back.

I ran 860's before the rear bumper, with drawers, and they were great.

What part of phx are you in? I am always game to help install if you need a hand or some tools

I'm in the Glendale/North Phoenix area, 101 and 59th. I appreciate the offer. I will take you up on that one of these days! I'm slowly collecting all the pieces for my lift.

Maybe once that new 202 gets built, I can make it over there. I am over in Ahwatukee. Let me know if you need any help picking parts too. I've done a few 100 lift installs

So, I have been playing around with the idea of wrapping the 100... Planning on starting with the trim in this dark grey gloss. Here is my first attempt with some of the sample vinyl I had.


I'd like to wrap the rest in a the shade lighter, it looks a lot like the TRD cement that the tacos and the 4runners come with. We will see if I get that ambitious...

After 2+ yrs in the Phx sun, my hood is starting to get some oxidation and I have been thinking a wrap is the way to go eventually. I'm really interested to see how it works out!

Did you mean to attach a pic? I'm not seeing it.

Oops, pic didn't attach. Here is the one small piece I wrapped. I will definitely keep you in the loop, if you do it yourself, it is super cheap. You can get enough to wrap the entire vehicle (and screw up some panels and have extra) for about 400 bucks...

I love the cement color on the new Tacos. Anxious to see how yours turns out

Please do! Cement should look awesome.

Halfway done with the trim wrap. I really like working with this stuff, learning curve is pretty quick and it is really not too bad given you have the right tools (felt squegee, sharp knife, small thin scraper)

Here is the vinyl I am using
Avery Dennison SW900-865-O Gloss Dark Grey automotive wrap film is a vinyl wrap specifically designed for vehicle wraps.

Looks good! How much to wrap the entire truck with some extra for mistakes?

If I decide to do the whole truck, i’ll order a roll of 5’x50’ which should be enough for some mistakes.

If you’re going to do just the trip, order 3 pieces 1’x5’ and you’ll end up cutting them length wise and you’ll have a good bit extra at the end

I also am thinking about this route considering the trashed state that my paint is currently. Let me know how things go for you. Sounds like a success so far.

@FxFormat did a great job wrapping his 100. Turned out really good, I believe it was the same material that you are using. I also like the idea of being able to fill any dings with some filler before the wrap.

Yup, @FxFormat was the one who gave me the idea and recommended the Avery wrap. He pointed me towards this youtube channel CK Wraps Lots of good info and instructions

Your rig is looking sharp!

This rack setup is a major pita

I love the wheel tire combo! I had to read back bc they look huge! Must be the spacers.

your 100 is one of the cleanest builds right now, no rack and those wheels / Tires are awesome

Nice build thread Joey. You are clearly talented or very patient or both working on metal fabrication, woodworking and the electronics! Well done.
