04 Tacoma turned Buggy

Truck Looks Sick Bro!

 

hows your rear suspension handle? What kind of travel numbers are you getting?

 

yeah, i do its a pretty good little radio to be as cheap as it is, your build has been movin way faster than mine ive been in the process of changin jobs and i plan to pay my truck off before i do much of the expensive stuff to it, thats why it took forever for you to get this reply from me

 

pretty good, i cant rely use it to its full potential because im still stock up front. pulls 14" right now tho i could probably pick up a few more inches if i moved some stuff around

 

thanks!

 

Cool build. Looks like your going for something similar to what Im working toward. I like high speed in the sand but spend more time doing everything else, so trying to get the best of all worlds.

 

God dammit!!! I always knew you could mount that 5 inch lift spring sua

good job op

 

ya the setup works pretty good but you have to use longer shackles, otherwise it sits about stock maby evan a bit lower then stock, im using ruff stuff 7" shackles but you could proly use somthing like total chaos 12"ers and run them over the frame to get a littlee bit more travel

 

nailed it! i love going fast and jumping and all that but theres not alot of places to do this in missouri (i know of only one) so im building it to do a little bit of everything

 

Looks good man, keep up the good work

 

thanks man

 

real trucks have dents!

 

A few dents never hurt anyone they add character .

 

ya i dont have a problem with a few dents(there all over my truck) its just the skid was completely smashed in.

 

did the diff breather mod today.

 

diff armor i built i made it out of 3/16 flat bar. it turned out pretty good i think, should get the job done.

 

built a mount for my new winch a few days ago. i used some 1/4 plate, the mounting plate it came with, and a 2in drop hitch. when i build a bumper for the front it will have a 2" receiver on it so i can put the winch on front or back depending on how im stuck.




i cut out a section of the hitch so the would be more weld holding the two pieces together


i also box in this back section

 

started collecting parts for the onboard air system. two 5gal tanks and an air hose. the two tanks fit perfectly behind/under my spare tire in the bed so theres no wasted space. ill probably use an mv50 compressor and mount it in the tool box.

 

Nice have you ever thought about using your AC compressor. I know you have to give up ac. My buddies 4runner is setup that way with 1 tank similar to yours and it works great.

 

i read something about that a while ago sounds like it works really good, but i thought against it cause its nice having ac in the summers.
