JD's '02 Tacoma Build

so whats the next plans??

you havent really done anything in a while!

want to make me some of those allignment gussets?

 

Hey man great truck. im think about doing this exact setup. Maybe not the resi Kings.. but i was glad to see you can do this without welding on a new shock mount.

Do you have any shot of the truck just dead on up front to show how wide the truck is in all? And how much lift do you have up front??

 

All of the bolt on kits can mount a shock without a new upper shock mount as long as your 6 lug. Im not sure if you can get a 2.5x8 coilover without a resi. Why wouldnt you want a resi? The arms are 3.5" inches wider. And LT is not for lift. Its all adjustable so you dont adjust for lift or looks. You adjust to where it handles good. Im not really sure how much lift mine got, I never measured stock

Honestly you should do a lot more research before you even consider LT. Your looking at $5k+ once your done with a front end and it looks like your just looking for a lift. The total chaos and camburg LT kits are the same width and they provide tons of photos of the width, how they mount, and specs on the kit. A good kit for you would probably be the All Pro LT. Its not as expensive and not quite as wide

 

yea id like the allpro...but they don't make a 1st gen lol

And no im not lookin just for lift, im just curious about LT in general as id like more front wheel travel, but again, im not a desert racer kinda guy, im a trail guy. I think ill just opt for a good Mid travel setup in the long run.

 

8 gussets finally cut

 

Got bored and had extra material so decided to make some shackles. 1 of 4 done

 

Thanks to Eric

 

cup holder!!!

 

Lol no it looks like in the pic but its not. Its some kind of light or something that broke. The top part you see is actually like a round circuit board that is all broken

 

aww.... well, there's plenty of room for you to add them

 

Yeah I planned on it. I also may be joining the back half black club because my buddy that painted my front fenders does not work at the same shop anymore

 

yeah, that's why my fenders are black. lost my hook up on cheap painting, my buddy moved

 

I saw that! I was wondering if it was for the gas filler or something

 

How many cans does it take to do the rear fenders?

Idk its wierd. I'll get a closer pic tonight.

 

i dont remember how many cans... i think maybe 3 total

i'm going to spray the bedsides again this weekend. they're pretty fadded and chipped

 

What did you use to cut with?

 

Oh thats not bad, I was fearing like ten cans lol

 

Harbor freight grinder FTW!

 

oh hell no...lol

buy 4 cans and you should be good
