JD's '02 Tacoma Build

looks killer man!!! cant wait for a ride. and then one day out together with both our trucks!!

are you setting ride height with a full cell and spare?

 

OP, truck looks awesome. Is that 4-link kit from camburg?

 

Well I guessed on spring rates so I just said getting closer to ride height because I wasnt sure if I went too stiff at first, as I am adding weight its getting closer so I might be ok. But it will be 2 spares and then my cell has about 25 gallons in it right now

The lowers links are from Camburg but not their "kit", I made the uppers and all the link mounts

 

I've been meaning to ask you if your going to run a rear sway bar? And how to figure out the length of the sway bar needed?

 

I will get one some day, I have no idea on how to decide length or size. It definitely body rolls more than leaf springs so something I have to be careful of until I get used to it

 

Tacoma tube caps

 

Baby flexing...

 

God damn that's a lot of up travel

 

Looks amazing buddy! Hope all is well.

 

holy shit didnt even notice that..

 

Yeah flexed is deceiving but still about 7 inches of uptravel left

Thanks! Busy but good, how about you?

 

Same boat haha just trying to build the truck before I get some real expenses

 

I haven't hammered on it yet but its pretty fun so far, its back in pieces getting paint, license plate mount, chase light mounts, and some other details I need to button up

What are you going to do to it?

 

howd i handle? big difference?

 

I have a few things left, it's getting 4.88 gears, a prinsu roof rack, rear hydro bumps(still have to figure out my rear shock provlem), I want to do leather seats but it isn't high on the priority list, and a few other things.

 

I've only been over some mild rough stuff but I can't even feel the rear end so its much better. It squats a little bit when I hit the gas but just barely so I think I got the anti squat good, doesn't vibrate or make any driveline noise, no check engine light, and tracks straight with my hands off the wheel. I think I did ok

 

let me drop mine off and you can do it all again!

 

If I had somewhere indoors to work I would definitely build another

 

Damn......

Wanting links now too!
