    allpro long travel, shackle flip with ome dakars, cruisin offroad bumpers and sliders, 4.88 gears with arb's front and rear, budbuilt skids.
    That truck is local to me, seen it a couple times whole front end needs to be redone, frame needs plating and all brackets need to be taken off and made out of 1/4in, also has a 3 inch body lift and a basically stock rear end.

    That explains a lot. I just read that the thing has coils, but the lift height is way up there. If it were just coils, they weren't set up right. The body lift would definitely explain a little of that.

    I wouldn't trust that thing. Wyatt says it best... "If your going to build a Rig, build it as if your loved ones lives depends on it"

    I can't tell from the pics but an all pro d60 hybrid is just an aftermarket toy housing with 60 outers. To me it's stupid because its a bastard fuck axle and they should have built a hi-nine.

    Huh? It looks like it has a 14 bolt to me :confused:

    I wouldn't bother with that second gen Tacoma or any other project unless it seemed to be well enough made and a good deal. I almost bought an already built 3rd gen 4runner on 1 tons because it was a killer deal considering how much money in parts it had but I would likely have to re-do everything in the front end. I'd rather build it right the first time, how I want to :)
