For the future i plan on a good lift(COs and 3in leaf pack, full skids, sliders, 265/75-16s or 235/85-16s) I have been doing research and with the short wheelbase of the reg cab plus a lift and 32"+ tires i can try the rubicon next summer. I dont want to hurt my baby so im going to try to bullet proof the hell out of her.

Here is how she sits now(at cleghorn)...

Capable even in stock form

I then blacked out my Toyota front emblem which I thought looked cool hah

Next I decided to do the BHLM which I think is a must-do mod!!

After the summer I finally saved up enough money to add the following:
- Bilstein 5100s front and rear (DSM)
- AAL for rear lift
- Flowmaster 50 Series Exhaust
- Color matched front grille
- Rockrawler Rims 16"
- Set of 285/75/16 Maxxis Bighorns ($200 of Craigslist!)

At Christmas time I got the Kenwood DDX712 which I freakin love! Once you go touchscreen, ya never go back! Have my iPod hooked up as well in the
glove compartment, so handy.

Earlier this year I found a good deal on Craigslist for a local skid plate so I went ahead and picked it up because I like the looks of it and the usefulness? ;)

And most recently, picked up a set of 285/75/16 BFG All-Terrains to replace my worn out Maxxis tires, which I resold on Craigslist for $100! hah! (Photoshoot coming soon!!!) :D

Future Mods:
-Bed mat
-More lighting with light bar
-Spindles from TC or Camburg
-UCAs

Thanks for looking!!! I've enjoyed every moment and hope to do much more!

It driver pretty good considering the E rated tires.
What do you guys think?
I'll get some better pic's in the A.M

Image: http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l140/swimmingkit/lucerne_02.jpg ... My front suspension is already built and done for now by Engage Off Road.

So this build up is going to be the start and finish of my rear suspension.
What I have now..

Picked up some 16'' smooth bodies to do the trick until I can afford some trip bypasses.

I will be running Engage's 50T leaf pack, Install kit (which includes front and rear hangers and all hardware), Shackles, and U-bolt Eliminator Kit.
I am interning at Engage, So I am very fortunate that Hassim is nice enough to allow me to build my truck at the shop, and help me along the way when needed.
Welded up the hangers...

everything fit together bitchin.

Tear down started yesterday morning, got mostly everything cut off and ground down, just a bit more grinding to do.. can't wait. I am boxing the frame as well, and ditching the bed alltogether.. bye bye bed:D

Im also gunna be using a tundra axle due to width and the availability of regearing and lockers. So cutting off all the stock bs on that and installing the Eliminator kit is gunna take some time

unfortunatly I wont be able to work on my truck everyday, due to school and my other job, So today I didnt get shit done, tomorrow I will hit it hard, hopefully have the suspension mocked up. ]]> Builds Knightryder http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/builds/60316-kits-build-up.html Invisionz111 Build http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/builds/60315-invisionz111-build.html Wed, 11 Nov 2009 05:28:00 GMT Invisionz111’s build My truck was lifted on November 6, 2009 with 3,589 miles on it at Performance Off Road...

Invisionz111’s build

My truck was lifted on November 6, 2009 with 3,589 miles on it at Performance Off Road in Fayetteville, NC.

I participated in this group buy to complete my lift options. Thanks Nuebs for getting it all together b/c that is a lot of work.

Option 4: Complete Lift Kit: Eibach 1.6" Lift Springs, Four 5100 Bilstein Shocks, 2 inch Add-A-Leaf, Front Differential Drop, and 1/4" front spacer for leveling.

Option 5: Light Racing Upper Control Arms: This upper control arm provides an additional ±2° of caster and 0° to +5° of camber change. Built with an OE style ball joint and bushings, this arm is designed to correct alignment angles while maintaining factory ride quality. The hybrid tubular and forged steel design is tough enough to race - on or off-road. These remove and replace arms are available in pairs for lifted and off-road applications or individual left and right arms if just one corner needs adjustment.

Started out as a bone stock 99 2.4l 5 Lugger Bought it in Feb of 2007

Earliest pictures I have include the Fabtech spindle and AAL. Also a 3" BL. At this point it was also half Camo. I didnt know if get into building up a taco so never thought to take pics before....

Then I finished the Camo...

And installed the Grill Guard. This is where I think it started taking shape.

Then I added a rollbar

And Beefed made me a rear bumper

Did some Modification on the Rollbar to better fit my needs and added On Board Air...

A lot of the SoCal guys know me and know how much I enjoy Off-Roading and Photography! So anyway I finally got around to buying my own rig! :D

I picked up a 1984 Toyota 4Runner. My buddy Ralph, my brother Denny, and myself headed out to west LA to check it out a couple of weeks ago...here are the specs.

1984 Toyota 4Runner
Rebuilt 22R
Weber Carb
Headers
No Cat
Solid Axle front and rear
5.29 Gears
Detroit Lockers front and rear
All Pro 27 Spline Chromoly Birfields
New transmission from an 89 Toyota 4Runner
4Runner IFS V6 rear axle
1.5" Spacers up front to match the rear
IFS Caliper Brakes and LC vented rotors
SS Brake lines all around

The passenger side body is a little rough, it needs new fenders and I need a switch for the rear power window, little misc things that need to get taken care of. Here is how it sat in my backyard after we picked it up!

While I may achieve neither the reply count of jdmcq's thread nor the dollar value of mjp2's, it's a start.

Getting ready for a bath.

Washed up

High speed air dry down I-40

Before cleaning wheels and tires.

After

Stuff I used. Waited to take a pic just incase it was crap. It actually worked very well by the directions. The little brush from AutoZone was very usefull and definitely worth the couple of bucks. Directions for the Eagle 1 said to dry after cleaning. I used and old but clean cloth diaper and dried the wheel then wiped down the tire. We have a ton of them and they were pretty cheap form walmart or babies r us. they're great for cleaning about any part of the car. I used another one to do the windows. No streaks.

Another view. I'm debating on using the tire cleaner on the flares and bumper. I'm going to wait and see how the oversprayed areas on the flares look in a week.

Did the wifes truck, too. She deserves a clean ride. That brush helped a lot on those painted alloys with all the bumps and grooves.
