Dirty Dan's 08 Tacoma Build

Very true.. Supposedly he "slid down a steep hill and didn't intend to end up in there"

 

just did the fog light mod, super easy cost about $5 at ace for the quick splice and wire connecters took about 10 min for me to do very happy with it now.

 

So today i was looking through some old pics from a camping trip my buddy took me on in his old tacoma that made me look back and think wow this is what owning a truck is all about going to new places with good people that you couldnt go with any other car and most importantly getting back too.

 

did some driving last weekend in my truck and ran into a crazy 4runner crawler!

 

Finally the day has come finally got my tires mounted . I decided to go with the General Grabber AT2 at 265-75-r16 and i am in love I will get better pics when it is light out. I really like how the factory wheels turned out with the powder coating.

 

Nice truck! I might be interested in one of those breathers. Your buddy ever got unstuck? Haha

 

pm sent

 

Finally got around to painting my hub caps (can't powder coat plastic)

 

Here are a few pics of the truck and how it sits today

 

So My Dakar leafs were starting to drive me nuts with how much they were squeaking so What i did to remedy that was jack up the rear end and separate the leafs with a screw driver just enough so i could slide in an old inner tube as seen in the pics sorry for the poor quality its hard to take pics with gloves this completely got rid of the squeak.

 

Love my all pro IFS skid and trans skid could use some paint

 

some pics of my truck and it OME suspension doing its thing

 

today i installed my rigid 10 inch led light bar combo spot/ flood. Im super stoked on how it turned out what i did was take a 32 inch long piece of angle iron cut some groves into it and epoxyed it to the aluminum bumper bar thing and drilled some holes and done!

 

It works really well and is very sturdy. If needed to I can remove the angle iron fairly easily.

 

Did your buddy ever get the Bronco out of the mud hole?

 

Eventually.... bad decision overall!

 

Cool build so far, coming along nicely.

 

thanks man

 

Some big things happened this week for me! i got a set of Camburg upper control arms and a yz 250. The UCAs were pretty easy to install but ill tell you the hardest part was bending the sheet metal to pull the bolt out. All in all it took about 3-4 hours

 

spring break just started so my buddy and i decided to do a quick camping trip up in Caldor had a super fun time.
