BigTaco Build up

[BigTaco]

From an Ex-Upstater to another NY'er WELCOME to ExPO!
Great looking Taco and thanks for serving!
My mind is going blank on the wheels you have...who is the maker?

Thanks! The wheels are Eagle Alloy 137.

It's been a while but I'm still around. The truck is doing great. Wish I could take it on more trips but that's how life goes.

Great looking Taco, hows the space and interior comfort for the family and pup working out for you?

Sorry about the late response. Been over seas for a few months.

The space is great. The kids are still fairly mid sized so no issues with room. The long bed allows me to bring along way to much gear. Unfortunately I no longer have the dog. Not by choice but it's better since I'm gone so much. I don't like to inconvenience others.

Lots of upgrades coming soon!

Coilovers
Expo leafs
Flip kit
Sliders
Roof rack for the cap
Ultra gauge
Battery box
And more that I can't recall at the moment.

I'm back! Feels good to be home again.

First thing done. New shoes! The old BFG's were a great tire. I had almost 60k miles on them. I think one of the tires had a ruptured belt though and was causing the truck to pull to the left.

So far the Duratracs are nice. Slightly more aggressive but no noticeable extra road noise. Plus I finally had my TPS sensors moved from the stock set up to get rid of the tire light.

Los of work ahead!

I managed to install the roof rack this evening. ProRac is a nice solid unit. Fairly easy install with a lot of measuring.

Can't wait to see what else is in store for the truck.

Finished installing the All Pro Expo leafs last night. Haven't got to test them out yet since I'm still waiting on the rear shocks but they definitely took care of the sag in the rear.

This is muy buddy helping me do the install. I couldn't have done it without him.

Keep it coming

FINALLY some warm weather! Finished the rear today. I had to wait on my rear shocks after a little delay in shipping but they came just in time. I'm taking a trip down to GA to see my girls for the first time after the deployment.

I cut my dual pipes off and removed the front diff drop. Have to figure out what I want to do to get the pipes back over the axle. Painted some rust spots on the skid plate as well.

Hey stranger, I haven't been on ExPo in a looong time, just jumped back on and there you were. The truck is looking great! Hope all is well. It's probably out of your way but if you swing through Charleston on your trip I've got a cold beer for ya. Take care
