Going under the "tubbing" knife in the next couple of day

I've not posted alot on the forums, but I appreciate all the info that others have documented. It has really helped me in making some decisions on the direction to go with this truck. I picked my Taco up about 2 years ago and have gone crazy with this thing since.

Just recently upgraded the front and rear clam/third and added some bud built skids.

Now the next phase comes. Tubbing the front fire wall and fender trimming is coming in the next couple of days.

Just got the news meats in today and mounted up. The wheels were my second choice as the first choice are backordered for several months. Now that they are on, Im really glad it worked that way. I think with the lunar mist, these satin wheels look GREAT! I've mostly run KM2s the past few years on my trucks, so I'm interested to see how the MT/r will do with holding balance and chunking on the rocks.

Here it is tires mounted and prior to tubbing, I'm trying to get everything finished prior to a trip down to Moab the first week of May.

 

Enjoy. Make sure to disconnect your ECM. I fried mine when welding the passenger firewall.. And not from heat but from feed back.
Also cut more than you need to because when you off road tires and suspension moves in strange ways. MT/R are some nice tires you will like them...

 

Here is a link that Paul started...it has all are build threads in it for the people who have tubbed already.

One helpful hint of advice. Close ALL your vents in the truck before cutting! It'll smell like burnt rubber and ass for weeks on end if you don't. I learnt the hard way hahah
