2005 Bulletproof Taco: 1 Ton SAC

Pic of modified upper portion of the 4x tcase mount:



You can see by the mount what I meant when I said the crawlbox is clocked as well. I am about 1/4" from flat belly setup like this.

 

Yeah... we clocked both... I guess we should of just done what you did. Would of probably been easier.

 

Yeah but the shifter for the crawlbox cleared much better this way and was still fairly straight, if we hadn't it would have had to have a 90° dogleg in it

So now I am wondering if I am clocked at 20°, oh well whatever I did worked.

 

For future reference/searchers of the intraweb

2005 Tacoma Power Steering banjo bolt size is 16mm.

Ordered my banjo-AN fitting today for my power steering pump...I will have std hydraulic hoses all around

 

^_^ that will be purdy!

 

Made a new axle end panhard mount this weekend. The old one just wasn't tall enough and looked funky rotated outward bc the offset wasn't enough. So I built this one from a ruffstuff mount and some plate:













Cycles a little better now. Hopefully I can get the shockhoops and crossbar back in this week and mount the shocks and cycle things again before final welding of chit.

 

that piece of tube cut out for the lower most bolt hole is slick. love me some quality attention to detail

 

Thanks! I thought it added some bling too. I wanted this thing to be beef so its all 1/4" plate which mean no dimple dies. I may add a speed hole or two when I remove it for final welding.

I will never need to have the panhard that low...but I have another idea for that hole in the bracket which is why I wanted to make it still usable. The tube is welded on the backside so it looks clean

 

^ this, big time

 

fuck dude that whole link set up is tough! I can't wait to see what breaks first when you get on it. Because right now it looks like everything is indestructible

 

May have something to show tomorrow if I get a few mins tonight

I was going for bulletproof but indestructible will do

 

no kidding, loving your work so far!!!! SO much to be learned for a lot of future SAS'sers

plus I think ill be taking a really close look here for some inspiration on my new toy, what ever that may be

 

Ideally, the rock.....

edit: or his nose against the steering wheel, because neither the rock, nor the truck have any give.

 

most fun i've had at a stoplight was when i was coming back from a mountainbike race. i put on my full face helmet right before i pulled up next to a little sedan at a red light. looked at the woman in the drivers seat, stared, and then pointed at her. based on the tire squeal and look on her face, i'm pretty sure she shat her carseat. she probably wanted to go straight, but I guess people will make sacrifices to get away from the crazy guy driving a truck with a helmet on......

 

Looking sweet. Keep plugging away! We got shit to break on my truck so we can fix it again

 

lol win

 

Well some of you were wondering what I was gonna use the other hole in the panhard bracket for so without further adieu.....
