After parking our red pickup in Costa Rica we needed to find another truck as a daily driver while we're in BC. The point of being back here is to work, save some money, and return to Costa Rica before shipping to South America. While we're home we're going to be exploring, camping, and enjoying our own backyard for a change. We've been joking that this is similar to when your dog dies and you need a puppy to replace it. Since we left ol' red down south we needed to fill that hole with something…
Ryan at Disturbed Industries had put this truck together as his daily driver. Although it wasn't necessarily for sale, he offered it up to me since I was on the hunt for something decent. I was looking for something that was clean and stock as a base for a build, but spending more on something well put together and reliable is probably a good plan. Good thing I'm learning a little bit as I get older. Since Ryan wanted to keep the wheels that were on it I grabbed a set of black steel ProComps to get it rolling.
Overall compared to our other rig this thing is a powerhouse. The 3.0L has a totally different powerband than the 22RE and loves to rev. It works really well with the 5.29s. Driving a truck that's completely empty instead of packed with all of our junk is a nice treat.
The suspension on this is SOFT! With the stock torsion bars resting at stock height and the high sidewall of the 35s this truck has a much softer ride than the OME kit on our red pickup.
At this point we don't have many plans for the truck beyond cleaning it up and enjoying it, but we are missing our CVT Tents roof top tent already…
