Atmospere420s 5 lug long travel build

So one day i sold my 2nd gen taco for about 15,500 because i found out on carfax the last owner had reset the milage too 64,000 when it really had 214,000 so i was stuck with just my beat 4x4 bronco for a dd, i found a guy on desert rangers who was looking for a trade or cash on his 5 lug i honestly dont know why because the truck is clean and built right, so i offered him cash for it and it was a deal.. threw down my bronco to subtract 1000, so i got this for a great price!
Got this with only 70k miles on it, has a few little things i gotta fix on it to start off with like the gas tank will leak if you fill it up all the way a few electrical things and so and so, but its easy an cheap.

No ac or heat. i honestly dont care, ive owned 9 tacomas and never used the ac or heat once, i live in california and the weathers never bothered me

first off i have plans to gut the interior and build the cab cage first with either 1 3/4 or 1 1/2 dom tubing, put in some racing seats for the front probably recaros or summit. tint the windows limo in back and 50% for the sides and legal for the windshield, and hopefully build a nice looking dash in the process whatever feels right and works best for the interior.

future plans after that, i plan on finishing up the rear and building a bed cage to attatch to the cab cage i will be building, maybe powdercoat the rims if im feeling black or bronze, and maybe paint the body a different color but white is fine with me...

so we will see how this goes more pics to come... questions, comments, advice, judgements???

 

Cool truck man, I don't think I've seen anyone turn a 5 lug into a prerunner before. You may want to move this thread to the 1st gen build section:

Any plans to upgrade brakes, cooling system, etc?

 

the brakes are already in pretty good shape so i may not look into that until they start to wear, but the radiator i believe is aftermarket, it looks to be aluminum and it does leak a little bit so i may have to look into that a little more
I have seen a few 5 lugs like mine in my area but they are owned by people who dont know a whole lot about fabrication and prerunners, i believe they just bought them already built

how do i put this in the 1st gen category?

 

Hey everyone, im sorry to say.. i wont be continueing this project anymore, im in need of money to pay off some debt and im just going to use my 2nd gen as a dd for now... im willing to sell this too the first runner up for 8500, or willing to trade for a 6lug single cab so i can acquire funds quicker
i have a craigslit ad for it i posted.... http://santamaria.craigslist.org/cto/4720450250.html
