What exactly are you buying?

 

1998 tacoma extended cab 5 speed manual supercharged.



that needs a frame.. so within the next year i'll be swapping 3 frames.. the 01 onto its new frame and power train, the 02 onto the 01s old frame and this 98 onto a frame when i find it.

on top of that i have a 66 mercedes that needs an engine and an mr2 im picking up in a few weeks for a v6 swap.... im a busy man

 

Pics after you get it!!

 

For sure!

 

Totally forget the pics, but here she is, taco #3
Tundra did good again.
95k miles, 5 speed with the wonderful blower.


now to get a frame here from Cali for it

 

Anyone in northern IN or Chicago area have a recommendation on where to get a CMC? Having no luck down here in Indy.

 

You can try chitown 4x4 in Glenn Ellyn, IL. They are always slammed but at least you can set something up.

 

i don’t like speaking for people but mark used to do them. I can reach out and ask him if you’d like. He’s right in cedar lake if I remember correctly

 

I am open to any suggestions, no worries if he isn't doing them anymore of course.

 

Ohh. Forgot about him. He did my first one. I actually reached out to him earlier this year and he said he was still doing it. I ended up just have chitown do it cuz I was there doing something else

 

There’s folks down there that will do it I’d imagine. Or just pick up a welder and have at it…more or less what I did roughly 10 years ago and I still use the shit out of my Hobart 140.

 

Reminder

 

Does anybody near Aurora or Yorkville, IL know of a shop that fluid films frames or uses similar stuff. Willing to drive a little.

 

It is very easy to do yourself. I do it to my undercarriage every fall.

 

I did mine last winter and it wasnt that hard but I was wanting to weigh my options. I know I can get the FF sprayer but I dont know if I want to invest in it unless I knew what kind of money I would save. I also dont have ramps or anything to lift my truck up to give me a tad more working room.

 

I use about 4-5 cans. If you contact Chitown 4x4, they know of a guy that does it in the area. I believe he charges a couple hundred bucks

 

Dupage corrosion protection

 

Cool I'll check them out.

 

Sorry I totally missed this. I'll check with them. Thank you.

 

It's the Dupage corrosion protection guy I mentioned
