Ccaruolo 2011 BR

[Ccaruolo]

So decided id share my build so far. So after driving cliffords X back last may i decided i wanted to purchase one for myself so come June 2011 i bought my X. got a 2011 BR and haven't turned back since.

dont have many pictures of it when i first got it but here are a couple

me and cliffords X

But i couldn't stay stock for long, i had only owned the truck maybe 2 weeks before i ordered URD CAI, Y-Pipe, and Mk2 Exhaust

sadly i did not take any pictures of the install. Shortly after this i deployed but after we got back i ordered Dough thorleys.

drivers side

that same night ketcup convinced me to spray paint my emblem gun metal it turned out amazing
no emblem

Painting process

finished product

not too long after the exhaust was complete i decided i wanted suspension. Unlike most people who own a new vehicle im not scared to cut into it so i went with the DJM 3/4 drop, QA1's, SS stock height coils, SS front and rear sway bars.

all the parts on my living room floor

cutting the subframe

so a couple months went by and i decided to finally install my trac bar that i had previously bought but never got around to, as well as roll and pulling the fenders.

cutting out some fender

roll one up homie

trimming up the overfender

Finished

working on the rear

so much room

from there we moved on to the exhaust, finally got rid of the clamps and had it wielded

then onto the trac bar. I already posted a thread but prior to installing it i know people had been having issues of the trac bar cracking the charcoal canister, so we relocated it.
Pulling off the bed

shitty view of what it looks like without the bed

so to make clearance for the traction bar we loosened all the mounts for the charcoal canister as well as the mount for where the hose goes in, what we came up with was to angle the whole apparatus. We had to drill a new mount hole on the single mount

view from the bottom

next was the issue of the best fitting properly over the repositioned charcoal canister. so we measured and test fit a few times, ended up having to cut part of two of the ribs on the truck bed to make it fit.

picture of the install

and the finished view, plenty of clearance for the trac bar to the charcoal canister

more updates to come, getting my sub stereo system done next saturday, sub,amp, front and rear door speakers, soundproofing.

thanks for all the love, sproules trying to decide between two wheels right now. ones 20x10 and the other 20x10.5. Id like to run 305/35s all the way around or 295/35 in the front and 305/35 in the rear. But no doubt i really need boost haha, getting some audio work done this weekend ill try to get some pics of that.

Go 10.5" with the 305s mang! You already have the rolled out fenders haha. What audio equipment are you getting? I HIGHLY recommend sound deadening the whole interior. :top:

 

[KETCHUP]

Nice build. You should go with us to Tucson on Friday!!

[Radiant Runner]

Nice work .....and brave cutting into a truck that is so new

 

[Ccaruolo]

haha i think the truck was only a month old when we cut into the radiator support for the URC TCAI after that it was game over for being scared. Im really enjoying how its turning out though don't regret anything i have done.
