"Dadz" Transformation

[dadz]

I got my truck and named it "DadZ" around 2005 the first thing i did is to change the tires from 245 HT to 265 At
This is him still with the dealers plate.....................

[dadz]

Then i joined Triton 4X4 Club Thailand and went to the off-road track with the club................


Being stock height i manage to damage my standard bash plate, hit my transfer case and all standard shock absorber........

[dadz]

With that experience change my shock absorber to gain 2inch lift but still using my 265 AT tires..................

[dadz]

hit the trail with my 2 inch shock absorber lift........................


It is good enough but i want to have some more lift...................

[dadz]

Need to get a 3inch proper lift kit, modify my upper suspension arm, front diff rear crossmember and side axle frame........with it a longer shock absorber, with 255 MT tires......................

[dadz]

With it change the rear bumper, side rail and add a under armor and front bar......................time to hit the trail again......


loving the ride and its performance..........................

[dadz]

After using it for 2 years or more change only the tires from 255 MT to 285 MT..................but still happy with the 3inch lift..................

Nice looking ute Dadz

I wish we could fit 3" plus lifts here....

[Chef_Dave]

Great looking truck dadz!!!

I was in thailand recently and saw some good looking rides...

Pity is Aus we are not able to raise our vehicle more than 2" ..... Legally

[dadz]

With the 285 MT hitting the body on deep articulation ....................change up to 6 inch lift just this year and today install a wide fender................

[dadz]

the new wide fender flares........................

[dadz]

Next is just the tires to be 35 and hopefully a winch..................

@Salt36 thanks that is why i put 6 inch lift now...............

@Triton_User_069 hope we meet up maybe next time you can give me a ring so i can meet up with you..........
4 inch lift is allowed there right.......................

That front bar looks so good, was that custom made or something readily available over there?

@variflex yes it is a readily available but not to many use it they want to use a more aggressive front bumpers.

Nice job dadz. Looks like your not afraid to do some serious mods too

[Homer]

Very nice Dadz...I thought you had a ralliart snorkel too

[helicoptercow]

That front bar looks so good, was that custom made or something readily available over there?

Yea i'm interested in these bars too.

Dadz, who manufactures them? brand name? website?? Wouldn't mind trying to track them down and find out how much they are.

[dadz]

@outmen thanks mate @joe yah every thing you can find in Thailand mods and replacement parts really easy to upgrade every thing and most of them is cheap...................

@homer that will be next snorkel but im not gona use the ralliart because every one in the club use it already i will go for safari since just 2 guys in our club use it....................

@helicoptercow the makers have no web site i got it in rayong but there some shops that can make it..............i got it about 3 years ago for only 4,000 baht..................
