My EVIL build - the STORM TROOPER

akuria · Mar 24, 2016

So my next idea/plan is possibly doing a 4link in the rear. I'm just looking at ideas and thoughts/pics threads of people that have already done it on our platforms. I'm wanting coilovers to match the ones I got up front too.

Thinking of getting a 4link kit from ruff stuff but not sure which one to get and best angle and position of the coilovers.

So I just bought this kit.......

They are local and I have ordered from them in the past and like there work. I got everything minus the rodends. I will piece those together at a later date. now just deciding what coilovers to get. I know I'll be going with fox since thats what I have up front but what travel. hmmm.

Duuude. That'll be awesome! Can't wait to see a 4-linked X!

akuria · Mar 27, 2016

Yeah. There isn't many out there that are linked.

Im just tired of old saggy leafs and I never tow anyways so why not.

Clean as always man. Excited to see that 4 link come together...think I've seen maybe one X with coils in the rear... :sure:

akuria · Mar 29, 2016

Yeah. I'm excited to be linked in the rear too.

A pic of the latest trip out. Tested the new sliders and they held up great. Unfortunately this trip was mostly wheeling and not much photo and video times.

Took the side molding off in prep of the rest of the vinyl wrap...

Prime · Apr 11, 2016

The trucks look so clean without the moldings.

akuria · Apr 11, 2016

Also this happened....

Was tired of the screws constantly coming loose....so I welded it on...no more problem.

They do. I like it. Soon it'll be fully wrapped in matte white vinyl too.

Where do you have that CB antenna mounted? I've been looking for a place to mount mine. By the way Nice X

akuria · Apr 11, 2016

It's mounted on the side of the rear hatch.

Thanks. It's my favorite sticker on the X. Lol

Making me some accessories.

Need to sand them down and paint them black.

I made them out of 080 aluminum. Should be strong enough.

Those look sick. For the back windows?

Can't wait to see the vinyl wrap finished up! Any idea how it'll hold up against tree branches, rocks, etc?

akuria · Apr 12, 2016

Yeah they are for the back corner windows. Also added the molle pattern like what dephep makes. But mine are free for me. Love scrap material and cnc machines.

Oh and as for the vinyl. It'll hold up about as well as the paint will but when the vinyl gets scratched the paint is still good underneath it.

Added more to the wrap today.

Just need to do the rear hatch and back corner panels and roof.

Looking awesome!

akuria · Apr 24, 2016

Thanks. I have a beat on a straight trade for some 35s toyo mts. Trade my black cragar and 33 MTRs for 35s toyo MTs on a set of chrome weld typhoon wheels. They are ugly in chrome but I plan to powder coat them magenta to go with my 80s colors and styling.

Wrap looks badass man

Thanks. Now if I can get ahold of your wheels and paint them magenta that would be sweet.

kirk · Apr 27, 2016

oddly, i like the mental picture of that alot!

That would actually look legit. An anodized magenta finish on some volk rays? The contrast between that and your vinyl would look awesome.

Very much agree. I mean you cant have them, but very much agree. I know where two silver ones are, but he wants $200 each because they are NIB. I love alll that white and just the bottom stripes, just as is. What is the final look you are going for?

You'll see soon enough. Hehe. I have some ideas on different wheels that will look good in magenta.

I'm looking at these wheels...

Prime · Apr 27, 2016

I dig the color scheme you're going for.... But I think those wheels will be hideous. They're too busy and I think it'll be too much.

akuria · Apr 27, 2016

true...what about these?

akuria · Apr 27, 2016

akuria · Apr 28, 2016

or better yet. totally an 80s wheel. haha

Prime · Apr 28, 2016

I'm picturing so many wheels in my head and the best looking ones in my mind are a thin spoke and simple. I think with a wheel that has a lot of surface area he pink will just overpower everything.

akuria · Apr 28, 2016

I like that idea. I am looking at these wheels too.

It's soooo hard trying to decide on what wheels to get. haha
