    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    First time I did it I think it took me a month to put that bead down. Second time I did it... I think it took me 4 hours start to finish to cut the hanger into the frame and then weld it.

    I'm the worst person when it comes to shock lengths vs cycling and whatnot

    My plan would be to make some shock mounts, as well as the crossmember and set them aside

    With the 63 leaf pack install done, I would cycle them to fully extended and collapsed and use that to determine where I place said crossmember

    But yeah I feel that'll take me longer than anything else

    To be fair it did kind of pay off. The thrust angle on my truck is 0.02°

    I helped my friend do a swap already where we frenched the hangers; helped to weld in the hangers as well as frame reinforcements

    What I learned from that, and what my friend shared with me is actually a good bit that Zane had shared with him

    But I'll take pics and make notes to share what I can

    We got just over 200 oranges from this tree the last time we harvested them from it earlier this year, not counting the ones I couldn’t reach even with the picker

    Curious to see what a flatbed is going to weigh back there.

    I recall seeing one guy on my FB group make his way to the forum some months later. His setup was overbuilt but man it was also really heavy.

    Going to be hard not making it too heavy (by accident).
