all modern alignment racks base the front alignment off the rear.

if you ever watch an alignment get done, you always adjust the rear first if its adjustable. you can see it change the front numbers when doing so.

 

To be fair it wasn't technically mine yet.. I was gunna buy it and dude was showing it off after we made a deal. Ah the good ol farm country days lol

 

I would rock that.

there’s a guy around the corner with a Toyota van in his garage, I can see it if he’s got the door open. Very curious which one it is

 

Good seats in those

 

All that front end work.

Didn't replace the rear control arm bushings?

 

This could be interesting…someone else’s half started project

 

Only have this picture of a photo but this is my grandfather in front of his old Dakota when it was new. I almost had it as my first car but my parents sold it to a kid that was already driving age for $1000. It was garaged from 1992-2008 so it looked brand new.

Only recently noticed that van in the garage behind him. Looks like an 84-89 Toyota van.

 

There's an uber clean clamshell style dolphin (the only ones that don't leak like every other POS camper ever made) on a 77 2WD Toyota mini near my work. It is just barely wider than the mini and a tacoma is a bit wider than the mini so it makes me think it might fit on it without making the truck wider.... That light little camper could make for a solid nomad platform.

 

That would be pretty sweet. A more modern drivetrain with a decent old camper would be great.


I wonder how the fiberglass holds up on these things over time. Would suck to end up with something brittle that always needs repair.

 

Also the wheel wells are designed for like a 26" tire on a 14" rim haha, might be hard to make room for a 35 to come up in there

 

This could be fun....

Nothing you can’t fix with duct tape, a sawzall and a plastic trash can.

 

You forgot the zip ties

 

What do you take me for, some kind of hack?



zip ties are always assumed

 

Everything I've thrown on that truck was just good *matching* junk I had laying around

I have some stock rear control arms wkth good bushings I'll just toss on there

 

damn one collision place quoted me 25 hours of labor to fix the bedside on the ferd lol

 

Pull a bed from a yard? Junkyard here is full of newer Ford beds cause they get them after companies buy service boxes

 

Stadium has 2 but they're $4100-4600

Have a quote scheduled for another place too, If I don't have the body work done I might just get some bushwhackers lol

 

Fuck I'd love a nice bandsaw at home, but don't want to stomach the $4-6k price tag.

Cut some more pieces for my bumper.
