that 2nd pic looks bitchin. nice truck

Krookz · 08-28-2009, 01:05 PM

Bullbar was free, my neighbor gave it to me. It was off a F-150. Somewhere in all thise I put 2 KC Slimlites on it.

Lift time!

This wouldnt be possible, if it wasnt for my previous love. She deserves recognition here!

6" Fabtech basic kit
35" Nitto Mud Grapplers
20" Diamo Karat-17's

Colton · 08-28-2009, 01:05 PM

Very nice build!

This makes the Virginia Tacoma's proud!

Krookz · 08-28-2009, 01:11 PM

Quickly learned the 35's wouldnt fit while turning. Let alone going over the smallest bump. Trimmed the poor thing to hell...

More on this pic later...

Also fabbed up some brackets to use the stock "skid plate" as some sort of protection. To keep stuff out of the hoses under there... The notches were for the sway bar, before I yanked it.

phynyx38 · 08-28-2009, 01:14 PM

Awesome truck!

derekabraham · 08-28-2009, 01:16 PM

Your setup is soooooooo clean.

Krookz · 08-28-2009, 01:18 PM

Frequently I end up camping. I had read about truck tents in a post on TN, and researched possibilities. I ended up getting the Adventur Truck tent from Enel Co. Cost about $230, couldn't have asked for a better product or customer support! I had recently broken 4 clips setting it up in some strong winds at the beach, Enel sent me new clips free of charge

Inside, there's 2 cots the length of the bed. I setup legs to hold them up, so you can stand in the center to change, ect. I used the lip running down each side of the bed to hold up the other side.

Krookz · 08-28-2009, 01:23 PM

Flag pole bracket

This is one of my favorite things I have fabbed up. Mostly because of how well it worked the 1st go around, and how much better it is after some slight mods. Ill have updated pics of the mods posted here, and my dyi thread soon. You can see how I built the beta of the bracket here: http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd...-brackets.html

I get alot of mixed feelings on this. Some love it, hate it, call me gay for it, you name it... its been said. To each his own!

Krookz · 08-28-2009, 01:28 PM

Colton · 08-28-2009, 01:28 PM

Love the truck!

Krookz · 08-28-2009, 01:32 PM

Suspension Upgrades

Decided to upgrade from the basic Fabtech kit, to some adjustable coilovers. The front end had sagged a little, and I had plans on an allpro bumper. Which would make it sag more. So I went ahead and bit the bullet, opted to stick with Fabtech with a set of LR UCA's. The swaybar never made it back on during the swap

Front:

Rear:
Currently its sitting on 3" blocks with an AAL. I have a set of Alcan's on order to fill the whole 6". Pics soon

Colton · 08-28-2009, 01:34 PM

Awesome, the Alcans will ride a whole lot better.

Krookz · 08-28-2009, 01:44 PM

Driveline Shudder

Thanks to my handy dandy helmet cam. I got the 2 following video's trying to track down the drive line shudder. The known way to fix this, is to put on a Tom Woods 1-piece drive shaft. I didn't want to go this route after some research, at about 55 you get another vibration. As posted above, I have a set of Alcan's on order to solve the issue instead of masking it. After the Alcan's are in, I may reinforce the winpy crossmember. I had also tried to stiffen up the carrier in the past, and shim it with no luck. A local driveshaft shop had me bring it in, the guy thought it was out of phase, but wasnt. Toyota's master tech's were also no help

So, I had run across some money and decided to completely overhaul my rig and get some sponsers.

And a giant driveway light...

Krookz · 08-28-2009, 06:43 PM
