Matt's 2006 Tacoma 4x4 LT Build

When your 4x4 the CV axles wont allow you to do that. The CVs would hit the lower control arms and wouldnt work.

 

Ohh, how are you going to attach the new light rack to the roof?

 

I bought the brackets from another member on here and bolted them to the roof rack channel sheet metal. Then I sealed it up with clear silicone to keep the water out. Its been solid since there is a second bar on the middle of the truck that provides three points of contact for the light bar. No issues as of yet.

 

very very clean truck...i want mine to look like this some day lol.

cleanest one ive seen to this day

 

Nice Truck, loving the LT 4X4!!

 

Thanks guys.

 

Here is how the engine cage is coming. There will be some more bracing added to the plate and two tubes. It will use sandwich plates to be removable instead of tube clamps.

The light bar is done and mounted as well but no pics.

 

Looks great man! im going to have to see this beast in person soon.

 

Thanks. We need to meet up for a beer and you can tell me about your deployment.

 

Here are some pics of recent work.

-new light bar
-added dist blocks
-new switches
-wired in line lock and prop valve in a better way
-engine cage
-moved brake lines on axle to center so they dont hit limit straps

Light shot is with unadjusted lights so the pattern is crappy. I will take a better pic after they are aimed and adjusted. My head lights are not even on in this picture. Its all HID light.

 

SICK!!! Nice everything man!

 

Thanks man. It is almost done. Still need cage, seats, and fuel cell.

 

I am too lazy to search, and am just now starting to come back around. Are you selling this beast???

 

Sweet Taco...

 

I was but I didnt have enough serious interest for my asking price. Its definitely not a good time to sell a truck.

 

Thanks man.

 

SWEET truck! Its cool to see a full on LT setup on a truck here in Texas. I was wondering if there were any awesome trucks like this close to wear i live, as i thought it was mainly California and Arizona. Your build makes me want to get LT even more. I was checking out your build on the Krawltex website and i was just wondering what the engine cage is for?

 

Thanks, that makes sense now. What happens if you have to get to the engine to work on it?
