Long Travel BS Thread

ok, here are some teaser updates for you guys. my truck is so close to being done it's not even funny. the cage is only 1/4 or so done. the upper shock mounts will be double shear, and the cage is going to encorporate a single spare tire carrier and rear bumper

 

Looks So awesome so far matt!! Can't wait to see it finished!

 

Looks great!

 

Looks sick Matt. Take as many pics as you can of the build progress for reference.

 

thanks guys, i'm so stoked to get my truck back. it's been 5 very long weeks. they have been taking a ton of pics for me during the build. gonna put them on a CD when i pick my truck up so i'll have a ton more pics of the build process

 

Nice! You will definitely have to share...pictures are a very nice distraction from work

 

anbody want a sweet 2005 single cab?

 

I cracked an oil filter last time I went out. anyone else have this issue? Not really sure how it could happen.

 

never had that happen, you're just that hardcore and cool haha

 

I wouldn't say that lol More like really lucky I didn't drain the whole thing on the way home.

 

yeah, very lucky. that would have sucked to burn up your engine.

i might have found a supercharger...

but i've spent so much money on my truck these past few weeks, not sure if i can spend more. my wife will prob kill me

 

Maybe tell the wife that is improves gas milage by 35% haha

 

The guy who built that truck did a GREAT job on it. That is probably the baddest 05+ single cab Tacos besides Total Chaos single cab race truck.

All of the welding and fab on that truck is top notch. I hope somebody who will actually use that truck buys it.

 

^^^ yeah, it's a kick ass little truck

i've followed his TTORA build thread

 

Dang....wonder if he would trade for a 2004 Mazda 3 with MazdaSpeed parts....hmmmmm

 

Got to ride in that once, Pretty well built!

 

progress...

 

Got my method wheels on. They seem pretty good for a "street" wheel, good inner bead retainer and fairly strong design, and at $140 a wheel completely disposable. If I was rich I'd run their forged beadlocks,but I just can't justify $650 a piece wheels on the turd. It's amazing how much better it rides on the street with wheels that aren't shaped like dice.

 

your truck looks like its wrapped in suede haha,is it rhino lined or something
