2008 Toyota Tundra Crew Cab


The new '08 Tundra, with the 5. 7L DOHC 32V i-FORCE V8 with 381hp / 401 lb.-ft touque. These trucks move! Impressive power, and looks great lifted. This truck came in with less than 1k miles. 6" Pro-comp lift with 35" tires, on 20" bronze finish wheels. Included in the 7-box kit were all neccesary drop-brackets for the front differential assembly. Large adjustable coilovers in the front provide excellent ride and dampening.














These pictures show the front near being completed. The kit includes a lifted spindle, which completes this front-end build. The rear included an add-a-leaf for the leaf spring pack, and a 3" block.

Traffic


My average commute time is 45 minutes each way, in miserable LA traffic. If im gonna be stuck behind anything, I'd want it to be this '67 Bus. I could hardly keep up with it! I followed her for miles! Coming soon is a 6" Pro-Comp lift on an '08 Tundra, and a 6" lift on a 08 Hummer.

Truck 8 2003 Ford Excursion Powerstroke


This truck was from Montana and was primarily driven in snow. Banks intercooler, ram air intake, 6 gun, and exhaust. Customer wanted the rusty frame stripped and refinished. We usually dont do this sort of work, but took on the job anyways. And i was elected the job. Lots of sand paper, scotch bright, 15 cans of primer, and 15 cans of pro-grade black paint. I spent the morning sanding, taping, and priming the entire vehicle frame, cross members, leaf springs, front and rear axle, gas tank, and everything else underneath the vehicle. After an entire day, the frame and suspension components looked like new. I spent the day exhuasted, and dizzy from paint inhallation, but having a frame you can eat off is real nice.
First picture is the rear leaf springs w/ airbags.
Second picture is front frame section. And how Jeffersons '04 Superduty will look with the dual reservoir shocks.














8 inch lift, on 38" x-terrain tires. Front and rear lifted leafs/airbag rear. Dual Bilstein reservoir shocks on all 4 corners.

This is an '08 F20 SuperDuty with the new 6.4 Liter Powerstroke motor. 390 cubic inch v-8 Turbo-diesel, delivering 350hp, and 650 lbs of torque stock! Truck arrived with less than 600 miles on the odometer. Grille Specialties chrome overlay grille package installation. The first picture is the truck in stock trim.







Here are the chrome grille pieces.
