    Oh man that was back before these parts were super old, rare and worth their weight in gold! Should have jumped on that deal! BTW I thought you bought all of this shit before. What are you trying to do now?

    Better through them on the iowa trucks page for the sale price of like 2k . Btw the guy who said it was a steal is like his best friend so I thought that was funny . And I don't know if it's the aftermarket parts the are the cause of everything not lining up properly so I wanted to check it out

    No, haven't been there since toys 4 tots this past fall. Haven't been out on any trails or wheeling. :( Planning a trip to SMORR last weekened in April. Soon I will start getting the 85' ready to go. Time and weather hasn't permitted me to be in the unheated garage for much time at all.

    I picked up another axle and ordered a 4 link kit for the rear of my truck, so I will be doing quite a bit of work this spring as well. I hope I can miobi sometime next summer.

    What do you guys think about flat beds ? I like the idea but I can't really think of a way to make my rear tire carrier flow with it . Also would the weight be too much ?

    Shouldn't take you too long. You are good at fabricating and designing.

    I have always liked this..... I realize it is not for a Tacoma but you could probably make it work or have Luke at Frontier 4x4 build you one simliar. You can make a baja style tire carrier similar to...

    The 4 link scares me a little. The rear not as much as the front. There is so much to figure out!
    I decided on a dual triangulated rear but still need to decide if I want to run dual rate coilovers or ORI struts.

    Of course they won't, they are aftermarket.

    TG makes a Taco flatbed. I take it you are to scared to bob your bed to match your new frame or what? You definitely don't want to run that rear bumper. I am proposing we trade my marker lamps for your rear bumper. You of course would cover all shipping costs. I will PM with address.

    I've been doing a lot of research and need to start playing with the calculator now.

    Sounds like a decent trade to me.

    Ahhhhh, my first time posting in here!

    Am I too late for the handgun discussion? :) I am a LOT more versed with handguns than I am with trucks, so if you guys have a get-together, I'll bring some guns and ammo to shoot, and you guys can help me put some Bilstein 5100s and an AAL on my truck. Deal? :oldglory:
