1 ton first gen Tacoma

with that truck setup, you could go into the stump removal business, hell I bet you could pull a tree out of the ground, bad ass looking truck. You should be able to 4wheel anywhere you want i that rig.

 

Haha ya thanks man it better perform well

 

New fender flare attachments

 

Almost legal. Keep up the good work. Post some pics of it flexing when you get a chance if you don't mind.

 

I had to have that strip welded on to attach my 6 inch wide plastic flares since I cut my fenders out will post more pics when I get it done and hopefully cops will leave me alone

 

Should help with mud and the police

 

That came out really well.

 

What is that plastic exactly? Got a link by chance? I need to make some custom liners for my cut fenders and that looks like it would work well.

 

96 bucks shipped for all four I hate them but cleanest idea I had to be legal after coming off mountain all whiskeyed up I loved how it looked without but I didn’t want a trailer Queen

 

Gonna do a smooth bedliner as a fake flare to cover the grinding marks tomorrow

 

Done and ready to fuck shit up

 

Awesome build!
I wonder how much it weights

 

Those flares look like they are just 1/8" black HPDE, I have a couple of sheets of it in my basement that I was going to use for some interior panels on my 4runner, still might? It was $40 for a 4x8 sheet. If I recall correctly it did take about a month for it to show up at the store after I ordered it online.

Interesting radius arm setup. We built one of those on a grand cherokee and I was thinking of doing that on mine, are you going to remove one of the upper arms before wheeling? If not what's the plan to deal with the inherant bind in a radius arm setup?

 

You chop the front frame because it saves you a ton of time cutting and grinding the IFS off and a ton of time welding the reinforcing plates to the stock frame and gives you uptravel and clearence for steering and lower ride height. You are hacking a big cross member off and now putting all kinds of forces into the frame horns they aren't designed for, so if you don't add strength somewhere you may find out the hard way what you should have done. Even if you aren't rock crawling, just hitting whoops in the road on the highway at 70+mph puts all kinds of force into the frame.

 

That’s fair, I’ll probably just go for the bought not built kind of deal. Even if it means buying a gladiator

 

Nothing wrong with that!

I also had a blast wheeling my truck IFS on 33s!! Amazing what a first gen can do!

 

I might have missed this, but what motor is in that truck?
