Kansas City Tacoma Crew - 816/913

Steering box is where the cab mount was, thats as far forward as i can go with a backward swinging steering box. Diff clears the oil pan but will need to clearance it for the drive shaft to clear when fully stuffed. Ride height will be 36in to top of frame with 5in of shock showing, she's gonna be a tall mf'er. Based on other builds 5in isnt needed but i feel as though it will soften the bumps. Hard bump stop will be set to 31in to allow 3/4-1in of clearance guaranteed for the oil pan. Tomorrow I'll take the steel i got today and plate the frame and make the engine crossmember. One thought crossed my mind to raise the engine mounts to gain clearance/drop ride height but thats a lot of work.

 

i didnt pay attention in here since like friday? so a lot was said so gotta catch up you know?

 

everything you are doing is already a lot of work so might aswell slap an ls in there also!

 

If you drop an LS in my lap I'll happily do it. LS' dont have pesky offset oil sumps causing me to ride like a skyjacker

 

Embrace the pain.

That sucks. Sorry you have to deal with it

 

Sorry to hear that bud. I've had some nerve problems too recently really affecting my left knee/leg so the manual truck might go up for sale soon

 

I'll manage, but thanks. Just picked up some medication

Yup, shit sucks. Sorry to hear about yours, but welcome to the TWKC broken body club. I refuse to part with my third pedals, though.

 

I dont want to but ive known I need new knees for years. Thank you USMC! some days i can't even push in the clutch

 

Damn, that sucks balls. No thanks.

 

I've been wondering about my future with that. The taco clutch is not the hardest clutch out there, but it's definitely not the easiest. Now. The Pathfinder I had... Or the 11 Corolla I drove today... Those were easy clutches. Actually, my 17 frontier had a pretty easy clutch too

 

My '78 is a leg press machine. Mechanical pushrod and springs, no hydro.

Yeah i almost bought an 05 quadrasteer gmc but didnt want the AWD.

coworker named lane lol

he is a buddy of mine that will ask for help with mods on his truck but the problem is he shows up and wont do anything half the time so im the one doing the work or who ever else he got to "help" is doing all the work and he sometimes buys pizza...

 

So pane with an L lol dammit @Slashaar

 

haha yes

 

Reminds me of my 84 Detroit 6.2

Now THAT was a machine
