How i brought her home





it had rancho 5000 suspension with a 3" body lift

I rocked the body lift for a couple of months until i bought some 5100's from my friend then off came the body lift!



Got the billys installed



I color matched my grill, bumper and stock wheels





I realized that it had way to much bro lean so i finally installed my AAL that came with it but when i got under it i noticed that each side had broken leafs





Got the AAL in



Much better!



I got a great deal on the method wheels from Sabre on here, and stepped into some 285/75/16's



Good shot of the cut bumper and new meat





I Installed wheel spacers on the front to get a wider stance and even out the front and rear

Future Mods
long travel

 

Looking really good! I really love the look of the older 1st gens, kind of reminds me of my old 4runner that I miss owning. Keep the mods coming!

 

Thanks! it took awhile to finally get it where i wanted it but im pretty happy with it, hopefully the mods keep coming but college is slowing them down a lot

 

Looks great, very similar to mine. Looking forward to progress. Check out mine if you're interested...

 

Some changes to my truck:

-Fiberwerx front glass
-Hella 500 driving lights (soon to be converted to Hid's)
-Custom tube bumper hopefully this weekend with pics to follow of the additions listed above

I was creeping around on Tacoma World and came across this bad boy. Nice build, and I love the way the truck sits with the method wheels and 285's.

 

Thanks! i ordered some wheelers superbumps today and ill have some pics up from the dunes this weekend

 

Noice! keep us posted and let us know how they do in the sand. I'm still waiting to get back to the states to buy a 2nd gen 4x4. I already had my mind made up on method wheels and, after seeing your duratracs, my mind is made up on those as well!

 

did the OMD spring mod and ill get pics up later of the superbumps in the front
