Good choice on going with the coilovers. Looking forward to seeing what style rack you do. I will do one eventually, just not sure on what style i want yet.

 

Oh and I have the duramax tuner also, waiting for the lift and tires to plug it in due to the fact they programmed it for all the mods.. don't want to chance anything

 

I also have other parts in the mail too.. I ordered the 80 inch rock sliders from 4x innovations... for a taco but im welding them on and fabing them for the canyon

 

heres the rack

 

Buddy of mine did the same thing on a Tacoma, only not quite as high.
It's a great idea.

 

If youre gonna do a 5.5 with a RTT already that high off the ground I hope you have your annex extension :wink2:

 

We'll see I used it in my taco with 33s and that's all this rig is going with. Thanks for your thoughts hope it works lol

 

Or a rock lol

 

heres some more pics not in order just i i found them on my phone...

 

these are the tires and wheels, the rack i mounted this morning,how the truck started, factory plate mount i installed, tint, vent visors, hood deflector, line x sprayed, de badged, ordered new duramax badges, put one on rear tailgate. husky floor pans, diesel roto pax in the mail.

 

interior shot (colors)

 

Got the truck back from shop today and wow im stoked!! Really happy with it!! Programmed with the spade duramax tuner and im happy with it!

 

Have the ARB twin air compressor in the mail.. going to remove the interior for CB, rear leds, and air compressor wiring soon.... pics to follow when i start

 

buddy hooked me up with a road shower that fell off his daughters car today i ordered new brackets going to repaint it and mount it on as well...

 

Great build, I'm jealous.....

Any plans to lift the back? AAL and/or blocks?
Seems a bit nose high.

 

its proper in the rear its lifted a little in the front until I save the money for the honey badger bumper and winch should settle down a bit with the weight.. didnt want to have to pull the coils back out to adjust them.. thanks for the compliment...

 

and these gmc are horrible for rubbing so far none.. but when i take it up to colorado ill see the truth on the trails and when that weight sits on it that might change it too.. if it gets to bad ill take it to a body shop and have them cut in and concave the fender reweld it and paint it for rust reasons. I didnt pay all this dough for the right gear to not get all the flex ya know... also plans for atlas 4.5 in the rear when i get the truck complete and have a extra grand to spend..

 

rock sliders in the mail.... see how this turns out! The e brake cable runs rights down center of the frame rail drivers side.. so i havent looked into the relocation of it or trying to weld just under, we'll see!

 

rock sliders in the mail....

From where?

 

using 4x innovations tacoma 80 inch weld ons going to fab them up myself... paint them white... dom steel with kickout 330.00 thats a good deal!

 

Are you in Albuquerque? If so, so am I. I took my truck to a local off-road place and asked for some custom sliders due to the length and I wanted to shop local...big mistake, they installed some 4 door Jeep sliders around 75", which are way too short to protect the entire rocker panel. Friend picked it up for me and asked why they were so short, no answer. Hopefully we get some kind of resolution because they're really just a sturdy steps right now that are too short up front and the rear. That's what I get for shopping local.

Got the rock sliders fabed up today, paint them in the morning, then install! Little tricky on e brake cable on driver side but looks good!

I'm not sure I'm new to this as well lol..... You could just bookmark it on your internet settings I guess.. thanks

 

Just bookmark the page to your favorites.

 

here's some fab pics, drill out a hole in rear support and welded in a tube for e brake cable to go through.... there ready for install just waiting for my buddy to get a day off and they will weld in about 1 hour be done!

 

Looks good. I just don't think I could ever bring myself to weld onto the frame. I just wouldn't want to introduce the stress points the heat will cause. The other thing for me is I really use rock sliders, so I like to be able to take them off to repair if needed. I'd much rather drill holes than weld them.
