Long overdue Build 05 taco

So Finally decided to start making the switch from expo build to desert runner. Truck is at DMZ now and Tim is installing the rear kit and boxing up everything. Here are a few photos he has sent.

Rear-

DMZ springs and bed cage
DMZ plate and box frame
Fox 2.5 x 16" tripple bypass
Fox 2.0 bump stops

Front- (till I can afford to LT front)

Icon coil overs with remote rez
TC upper arm
DMZ motor mount gussets

Armor

All Pro front and rear bumpers
ATO front skid

 

Tim finally sent me a photo update! Found it on Instagram yesterday. Looks like it was a good day in the shop!

 

Bedsides are getting mocked up, looks like the sliders have a date with the grinder so they will clear the glass but it's starting to take shape! Hopefully it's ready by the next MORE race.

 

Mt photos

 

ah so your truck is the one i see at dmz
going to look sweet when done!

 

I was really hoping it might be done for the race today but it was not meant to be. I must admit I told Tim there is no rush but starting to miss driving it a little. The VW just doesn't cut it in the desert!

 

So hopefully my truck is back for Christmas, Tim has been super busy the past few weeks but got word today it should be done before the holidays! As much as I want it back I'm glad its getting done right the first time! Have been talking with the guys at LSK so hopefully the front can start sometime in the near future. Just need to keep watering the $$$ tree!

 

Got some new wheels waiting for the truck

 

New photos added, should be done in a week or so!

 

Getting close, wold have been ready for a Baja surf trip but Tim found a issue with the driveshaft so looks like the truck will have to sit this trip out

 

digging your build. looks good! are you currently MT up front?

 

Yep, still have TC uppers and extended travel icons up front. Definitely want to go LT up front ASAP but going to knock out a few small things first than do the front including engine cage just need to make sure the tax man doesn't take to much. Also truck was at DMZ for awhile so kinda want to enjoy it for now.

 

Really like that bed cage. I think that's the first one I have scene on the site, where you can still use the bed. Very nice.

 

bump to link build

 

That rear LT looks great. Have any videos of how it handles off-road? Or just more pictures of the stance?

 

Sub!!! Lol

 

Haha still no idea how you link a build thread properly.
Edit
Well now it seams to be working, don't have any videos but my wife had some fun testing the front suspension at the last race that helped me sell her on a long travel kit sooner than later. Nothing like a hard hit through the whops to sell a upgrade

 

Just got home, not a great photo but hopefully shows the stance
