True that. What do i know! Lol

 

This man delivers!

awsome trucks, im jealous

 

You know you've seen King resi's on a 1st Gen. And I don't doubt it.

 

go back to your green crayons… heehee

 

I am bored

 

I'm still a ways out until I redo my front suspension so I have plenty of time to make a decision. I like the idea of remote resis vs an emulsion shock. I go back and forth between Fox with remotes and Kinds with out...or go custom? As far as custom- being my truck is a giant fat ass I'll most likely get them custom tuned/valved anyway so why not go more custom with remote resis on kings?

Next up is new leaf springs for the rear, then a super nice walking foot sewing machine, then the roof and tent for my camper, then new shocks for the rear and then new front suspension.

 

What are you're thoughts on leafs? Mine isn't quite as much of a "fat ass" but I do run pretty heavy. I'm bouncing between Alcan custom, Deaver custom, and Chevy 63s... Everytime I think I make up my mind, I change my mind.

 

I'm thinking custom Alcans currently but might change my mind. I'll give Deaver a call at some point.

I went down a Chevy 63 rabbit hole for awhile. It seems like a lot of fit, weld, test with load, cut weld, reposition repeat. After building my camper I'm a little less inclined to go this route. Mike @916TacoTruck can speak to them more than I can. He gave me some excellent perspective.

As of last year my truck was 5780 pounds with a week's worth of food, beer and tequila, 7 gallons of water, 32 gallons of gas and myself. I'll get front and rear axle weights at a Cat scale when the time comes.

Right now my truck drives like a covered wagon. I'd like to fix that.

 

you are making me hungry!

 

On my way home.. Seeing that Kimbo on a Taco.. Just that alone is an awesome build. And then I go get bbq and saw this Rig.. Now I'm itching to get out there. I'm going to Hollister park. For now.

Probably

 

Didn't mean to make the 14s larger in that message; that's what I get for posting from my damn phone!

It's the 70 and 0121 that I'm trying to confirm.

 

Looking for the rear portion of a drive shaft for a 98-04 4wd Tacoma if anyone has one laying around or a spare they are willing to sell.

Hoping to get it sometime this week if possible.
