04 Tacoma turned Buggy

looking great dude

 

really cool how you have done all this yourself, wish i had time time and skills to do it! what a great rig you have!

 

thanks man.

 

painted my wheels black and new tires.

 

Damn nice build man! Just went through the whole thing. Was doing the all pros and sua worth it? Thinking about doing that setup.

 

ya i like it. flexes great, and plenty of travel pulse it was allot cheaper and easer the going with f67s. my front wont come anywhere close to keeping up with the rear end.

 

Nice. Ya the defined kit is around $1300 and that's without shocks.. just looking at different setups. Thanks for the info tho!

 

defined has a kit for first gens???

 

Whoops haha guess not. My bad

 

Great looking truck! I like all of the custom work you have put into it.

 

thanks man. its a work in progress.

 

Whats up man you got anymore done on your truck lately?

 

not really. iv got a pile of parts i was about to put on then i discovered i have to replace my front wheel bearings and steering rack. So im working on fixing that stuff right now, soon as thats done there should be some progress.

 

working on installing all this right now.
bumps, spring perches, poly lca bushings, bpv, 12” shackles, ruffstuff shackle bushings, new cv, front limit straps, front wheel bearings (for the second time), and new shock tabs (gonna try to get a lil bit more travel out of the rear when i put on the new shackles). iv also got a nice pile of metal that im using to plate the lca double sheer the uca, and gusset the cam tabs.

 

gusseted my spindles. i shoulda just got the tc gussets but i guess this is better then nothing.

 

started working on my LCAs, making an area for the hydro bumps to contact. i wanted to do it in front of the axle thinking i may add a secondary shock in the future. but anyways this is what iv got done so far, not done yet ill be adding more gussets to the underside.



first built it out of cardboard just to get an idea of how i was going to make it



then out of 3/16 plate

 

i think finished up the strike pad for the bumps, i may beef it up a little bit more.

 

do you have a pic of the top? Did you run the stike over the top of the arm or just weld it to the side?

 

It's just welded to the side. Never crossed my mind to overlap it, might of been the stronger way to go.

 

Im sure it will be fine. I would just watch that the pad doesnt start cracking the arm at the weld.
