Tweakit's family adventure rig and trailer build

I did it, Ifs and trans. The lift can wait until the spring haha

 

. Ive been waiting along time to start getting underway on this truck. Trust me i know the waiting game pain lol.

 

Seriously haha ive been waiting since my last truck, a 5 lug Tacoma

 

Man i wish i had a 5 lug to drive back and forth to work. Ive been waiting to build this truck since i ordered it Dec. 2015. And here it is 2 years later and im finally getting rolling.

 

Haha part of me wishes I had kept it but then I look at my truck and am glad I got this one haha. They are definitely solid commuters though

 

So i did a thing today. Big thanks to @Dobinsons Mike and jba offroad.
Also thanks to @Sandytaco14 for hooking me up with an aal till my leaf springs come in.

 

Sliders installed. Blown away by how well thought out they are. Cant beat the boxed in frame.

I think thats all lol. Truck is slowly getting to where i need it to be before the Colorado, Utah, Arizona trip in 2019.

 

Slowly? There is nothing slow about that order.

 

There is when im not even half way ready lol.

 

I cant find the Mobtown u bolt flip on their site. Has it officially been released yet?

 

How’s the Dobinsons kit been?

He should have pics up soon. Ill ask if its fully available yet. I believe it is but ill make sure. It has thicker plates and heavier bigger ubolts. Comes with bump stops

 

Its been fantastic. Rides great and does very well on high speed runs over the rough stuff. Even launched my truck over a railroad crossing at 65. All 4 came off and i was like landing on a cloud. I am very impressed with them.

 

Haha nice! Are you gonna change anything out for the extra armor your putting on?

 

Nope. I ordered them with 730# front springs and i have +800# rear leafs on it now. All i have to do is add more preload to the front once the bumper and winch goes on. There set at 2.5 without weight right now. Im gunna crank em up to 2.75 with the weight on.

 

I didn’t even realize the lift was adjustable. You must have a special kit cause I haven’t seen that for Tacoma’s from dobinsons haha

 

I have there MRR's. They just released them for the taco in december. I think i was one of the first 5 in the country to get my hands on them. They adjust from the bottom like racing coilovers on cars

 

That’s very interesting. I was just wondering why no one has done this. I’ll have to do more research on these
