1 ton first gen Tacoma

The way WFO keeps it so low is by using the stock front shock mounts that are literally welded to bottom side of axle and a lot of people order the coil mounts for top of axle like I did it’s an 8 1/2 inch difference from mounting hole to mounting hole

 

Allot of guys cut the front of frame off and beef theirs up I didn’t and dont see the need I’m not demo derbying my truck plus the after market front bumpers will still bolt up to front stock mounts when I get my winch bumpers

 

That’d be my thinking if I ever get to something like this. I’m not gonna be rock hoping and beating the shit out of it. Just need something more capable in the snow.

Itll be a second gen if I ever get to one after I get down with school

 

Ya rocks are unforgiving I snow wheel and like pushing powder over the hood

 

Same

Today, doesn’t take much with 33’s though

 

I like the looks of second gen Tacoma better but the price was right on this prerunner I found so I jumped but now it’s a trerunner haha

 

All about the driver man I can honestly say doesn’t matter what tire size you run if you know your truck and know how to drive tire size don’t mean shit

 

There’s allot of no talent people who got 44s and 49s who don’t go anywhere but being stuck all day but they look good on there trailers I don’t trailer my truck it drives where I go it’s not a trailer Queen fuck the cops

Hey man awesome build.
So you bought the WFO kit :
https://www.wfoconcepts.com/pr/WFO-...t---using-05+-Ford-Super-Duty-Axle/9462/20086

Then you buy the 05+ superduty axles, the brakes. You had to make custom brake cables I imagine. Stock booster?
What about steering, stock steering shaft?

 

No I bought the Toyota to 1 ton brake lines for front and rear from sky’s Offroad and bought all new tubing from inline tube stock booster yes and I bought the Sas steering kit for Tacoma’s from trail gear with the true flow trail gear power steering box

 

Awesome. Did you piece by piece put all this together or did you see a build that had it all and used that?
It sounds like it's a long list of parts and some welding. Oh and a lot of cash. I'd be interested in doing something like this sometime.

 

I just pieced everything I thought I would need and no matter what I was always missing that 5 dollar part from power steering pump and box fittings to power steering cooler just little shit adds up but I researched allot of builder threads I got every receipt and a list of everything I bought if you ever have any questions man I’m about honesty I’ll show you or tell anyone the trucks worth allot to me but I won’t lie about how much shit costs it honestly not that much to build this identical truck

 

Dude that's awesome. I think that's what most the work is, finding all the parts and the nuances. I bet it must have been such a pain in the ass sometimes!
You know, if you ever have free time, you should try and make a list of the main items you got, like:

• WFO Kit
• Front 05 Axle
  
• Rear 05 axle
• Calipers
• Etc
• Etc
• Steering kit
• bla
• bla

 

Money saver is finding the axles at a junk yard on a truck front ends same as mine complete go for 550 hub to hub and rear 14 bolt full floaters with disc brakes complete go from 350 to 500 bucks then rebuild axles yourself like I did way cheaper

 

My rear axle is out of 2007 Duramax 14 bolt full floater front is out of 2008 f350

 

Nice, I would most likely do that as well.

Awesome. You have stock leafs and shocks in the back and it connected??
What fab work do you have back there?

 

I’ll get you a list of everything I did for parts and what sites I used it’s a Frankenstein build but easy as shit everything goes together simple YouTube is a mans best friend

 

Rear is completely stock I ordered new kings shocks for rear 10s with the side mount shock mounts to make them work they aren’t installed yet but will be by next week the rear had stock prerunner springs no blocks nothing I used skinny wheel to fit my tires

 

You're too humble man!! Doubt its that simple, takes a lot of time to figure out if it will all fit, so I think everyone on the forum would cherish some build information such as a part list!!

That's pretty cool, I didn't know you could just put up such a big axle, reuse the lower shock mounts and leafs. I thought the leafs had pins/holes to align with axle. Surprised duramax axle fit.

 

Mine is as low as it can go on 20” ori. Swapped oil pan for rear sump and top link almost hit my a/c at full bump. The pic is just at full drop on the lift.
