Max's wanna be overland build

I can drive to Spring Creek yesssssss go on...

 

gonna have to swap bed sides with the rear bumper anyways if you getting rid of it separate too..

 

Let me do some discussing. I'll get back to you on that

 

Yeah, I mean I'd leave it if someone wanted my bed sides and already had a HC or I'd trade them HCs since mines cut or either way. I'm not worried about it.

 

Just be aware these really aren't as clean as they appear in my pictures. Most won't notice in person but if you actually LOOK at it the rear passenger is kinda ugly. The gap was large so we filled the gap with the 3M duramix that the flares are bonded with. It's not what I hoped it'd be though but it was kind of too late.

 

Obviously needs to be silver streak mica as well.

 

Parents basically said hell no they are against modding I'll see if I can find somebody who wants Ssm parts here.

 

No worries. Thanks though!

 

Out of curiosity, did you like running 35's? I'm stuck on getting 35's or just going 33's. It looks like with 33's I'd have more options playing with my rear suspension and BAMF's shock relocation so I can run a longer shock. Apparently the 35's are too wide and will rub the shock at flex. Don't know if bigger tire > longer shocks or longer shocks > bigger tires

 

Yes and no haha.

It's really a back and forth thing for me. This isn't the first time I've considered going back to 33s either. But now with a new project I'd rather make the Tacoma more DD friendly.

 

Why not be n0rth??

 

Tacoma is going to be sold eventually and I think it'll be easier in a more stockish configuration.

 

I've only seen a handful of taco's rocking 35's with IFS. I think I'll just go with 33's since I have to drive this thing frequently. 35's just look so mean on it though haha. I was thinking 33's would be best until I get the time/knowledge/money to put a solid axle in the front and run 37's.

 

If i had a dollar for every time there was a post about someone wanting to do a SAS i would have 10 Tacomas SAS sitting in my driveway....

 

Haha wanting and doing are two different things. I want to do it to my truck but I won't be doing it for who knows how many years down the road.

Max, I didn't see in your first post but I could have missed it. What gears were you running with the 35's? 4.88's?

 

4.56s 6 spd manual

 

Yea every one wants to do it but there are very few that do. i got myself a little project here very soon and i am hoping it pulls through

 

Damn that's a nice Cruiser. They're big heavy rigs, but so are the Tacos. Plus side is dual lockers, SFA, and it's 20 years old and 1/3 the Tacos value so you can beat on it and not feel bad. Oh and lots of room and seating. I think you could sell your Taco or take it back to stock easier than me as well...

EEK!

Ya know... I couldn't find a stock rig for that price with that few miles when I was looking... :| Good deal in my book! Just needs more maintenance than the Taco probably and you seem to hardly have time for the Taco as is so... that's another thing to consider.
