    4x bumper! lol. Yeah, hopefully you can flatten out that stupid fairlead mount as well. If you do, add a triangle gusset of 1/4" steel to the back of it.. Sorry it was dirty and scratched. She was abused.

    (note my awesome car ramps)

    and on with this (when i picked it up from 07NavyTaco i raced home and put it on which was at like 10pm?)

    100_1061-1_cb2d3284afc795e682c3f95455befa240c528085.jpg

    it looked like that for a few days until i picked up some bed liner and some new mounting hardware. i took it up to my dads place (pretty much a fully equipped shop) and took it off and bed lined it, reinstalled the winch with grade 8 bolts (you can never overbuild, a great rule to go by ;)),relocate the winch control box on the firewall beside the piper motor, installed my off road lights and fixed the bent flair lead mount.

    100_1080-1_6848d3ae17fc7f82f2f141e4d404dc078921a09a.jpg

    also while i was at pops shop i redid the front cross member (for the skid) my first one didn't hold up too well. its just a piece of angle iron bolted to the frame, nothing special, but should be documented.

    100_1066-1_8eec8103eb9586a2ea71849c4e828329d0acabab.jpg

    new to me power steering pump because i was tired of no power steering:( (thanks yoda1999 )
    new to me 01-04 tacoma tail lights (thanks MMyota)
    rebed lined my tool box
    rebuilt passengers side locking hub (now i need the drivers side done)
    new to me headlights (thank you XxTHe FioLOxX)

    well i told myself that after the bumper it was pretty much gonna be it for mods to the taco and i was gonna start saving and working on the 86 :rolleyes:



    .........so today i started gathering parts for a 01-04 conversion, i bought a 01 hood latch and hood. the hood has a few bad spots but thats nothing a little bondo cant fix. ;)

    so now i need headlights and a grill. somebody wanna hook me up with some cheap used parts they have just lying around?

    the only reason i started gathering parts was because the hood was gonna be the hardest part to find and i got it for (what i think is? a good price.
