01Tac0ma Build

Thanks dude, check back tomorrow, will look a helluva lot better than it does right now once everything is in place!!

 

Gotcha!

 

Yea parts of it were stolen from his but i added and changed and came up with some totally different things today, so it will be one off when its done especially the way the side protection is connected up, plus ill be adding the D ring mounts too. Like i said above i think ill go with the rounded caps over the pointed ones or just plain flat ones

 

Woot! Very nice!

 

Nice build man. Probably a good call not going with those pointy caps. I feel like i'd get stabbed by those all the time if they were on my truck

 

Yea i kind of had that thought but ill probably never be that close to them, anyway i ordered the rounded caps as well as the shackle mounts today and we got the top tubes on the sides done, never got the plasma in today so gonna go back monday to finish it up...will upload pics in a little while after i finish for the night on my new leafs i just picked up!

Thanks btw! I need to get around to looking at yours, just dont get on here as much as id like lately

 

Worked on i for about another hour today getting the side upper tubes bent right and put on, still no plasma cutter so gotta wait till monday for the hitch... a few pics.





Also picked these guys up today!

 

I'm liking the clean look of the bumper.

 

Mines just the average taco build. Haha seams like all of us have nearly the same truck, just minor variations, mostly in the brands of armor and suspension we use but it all has the same end result

Are those Chevys?

Edit: I really like how your side protection goes up, very nice

 

Looks great man! Great idea using channel

 

sweetness! jelly!!

 

Thanks man, i was really hoping it would have been done this week but i dont mind waiting! all thats left is the hitch, D-ring mounts and end caps.. should all be here monday though!

Almost got the chevies off a 2wd suburban but went with the 4x4 dakota's since they were a little thinner and should yeild a somewhat smoother ride once everything is cut down to size!

I actually wasnt to fond of the way it looked coming up like that and originally he had it higher than that but i thought it looked goofy as hell so i cut it down shorter and its much better now!

Hell yea, i wanted the rectangular tube but they talked me into the channel plus its thick as fuck so it should take a beating pretty well!

Thanks!

 

Looks good! The side protection makes it match with the kick outs on the sliders.

 

LOOKS LIKE SHIT!

 

loll

 

That was the plan, and actually the side protections slightly kick out as well about an inch past the flares and match the main outside tube of the slider perfectly

Thanks man, means alot!

 

naw man it looks awesome. i might have been heavily inebriated when i posted that lol. MORE PICS! of the welds, painting, license plate, other things and such.

 

Yea man just got word that the plasma made it in so dont know if i will go in tomorrow or tuesday. The paint will probably hold off till i can come across some raptor liner so im not just sanding off rattle can when i goto do that, license plate will just go on the tailgate, maybe french it in not sure yet but probably not... I did get my leafs springs on today and holy crap, let me tell you man they ride soooo good compared to that shitty "aal" i had before with the same amoutn of lift... sittin at 39 1/2 in the rear and 38 1/4 in the front so just over an inch rear rake!

Ended up with a 5 leaf pack, 3 of my stock ones and 2 off a 2ooo dakota, similar in thickness maybe only 1/16 difference so they matched about perfectly, and some new center pics and i was golden! Now just gotta go in when the bumper is finished and add in a new cross member for shock mounts /\

 

Nice! You getting 5150s?

 

Sure am!
