2011 Tacoma (frankthe4seaterwhoopeater)

I know the feeling haha. I still have a lot more work to do with this truck. Getting a new kit and gonna start building my engine hoop, then start build a tool box/ tire carrier for the rear.

 

Your getting another kit?

 

For the front yes. Getting the LSK kit.

 

Right on man there was somebody with a 6 over kit that looked bad ass I found it right after I bought my kit and was pissed. If I redo the front I'll be getting that and throwing secondary shock mounts for bypasses

 

nice man!

 

Got my new kit and installed it in just a couple days. Had to wait to get the tie rods, but she's ready to roll out of the shop.

 

Havent posted on here in awhile. Here's update. Took off the stock front bumper and will be building a tube bumper.
Got the truck painted.
Welded on the solo jack mount and spring mount for the handle.
Bedcage was just sent out to sand blaster so I can paint it. After all this I will move the battery to the back and start my engine cage.

 

Badass!

 

Thanks man!

 

Few details on the bedcage. Got it all painted and now i just gotta cut a bumper off my buddies truck and weld it on mine. Painting the bumper same color as the bedcage

 

what a beast

awesome build, any videos jumping it?

 

Thanks man, no jumps, but i do have a video of it eating some whoops in ocotillo. Have tuned the shocks since then and it works much better now. I'll post the video after work

 

Well I took the stock bumper off and ended up building one for my truck. Then added some Hellas up front. Still need to add a skidder, paint and then do all my electrical

 

Haven't been on here in awhile, but the bumper is painted the same color as the bedcage.

Started my engine hoop. Cut it all out by hand with a die cutter and used a lathe on the bottom plates to make them perfectly cylindrical. Just gotta weld them up and install then I can run my hoop.

 

Welded up the engine hoop brackets, notched the fender wells and now just gotta run the cross tube. She's gonna be pretty stout after this.

 

brackets fit perfectly after being tig welded. Ran the tubes for the hoop and cut the ends flush. Just need to plate where it's cut and add some gussets.

 

Finished up the engine hoop. Just gotta add tubes for the bypass and triangulate them to the engine hoop.

 

Travdawg-Awesome work Bro! Helps us all with perspective and goals-thanks for taking the time to document the build. Baddass rig! WFM!
Catch you on the trails-Cheers!

 

Sweet truck. I'd love to build mine out that way but probably never will. I'm over in YL/Placentia a lot, maybe I'll see you around and say hi next time

 

Thanks man! I live in the area so you’ll most likely see me and don’t be shy haha.
