Installed Mobtown transmission and transfer case skids today. That is a bonafide pain in the dick to do solo.
Also checked allignment after shocks settled and added a ton of weight, I'm pleasantly surprised.

Really liking your build. Might have to steal your idea of bumper trimming. Might try to make a SOS style winged low profile bumper. Do you have a pic of fender liner? Want to see how you secured it from flapping after bumper trimming.

 

That winch plate is awesome! Nice build!

 

Off to powder coat

 

I have a problem.



This may slow truck part purchases considerably

 

Nice. You got a real transfer case.

 

Friday...
Maybe

 

Farewell Tacoma World!

 

You're not going anywhere

Looks nice, my wife will be getting one of these this fall, waiting on the 2020 changes, maybe the pro.

 

I see the Tacoma poking out behind the 4Runner, so I agree with @elduder , you're not going anywhere.

But if we're wrong I'll be watching for your garage sale thread so I have a good reason to cross the stateline and grab some New Glarus brews.
