Orginally a 2wd Prerunner but now a 4wd Leaf Sprung Solid Axle Swapped Tacoma.
Im sure I missed some things in the specs so let me know. All of the work has been done by myself and my dad.

Since my truck isnt Pirate worthy and not long travel with light bars like most 1st gens on Tacomaworld, I dont quite fit in. But because I enjoy this forum, hope you enjoy this.

Rear Bumper:





Made some steps/sliders




Painted the grill and surrounding


Painted the badges



and am currently working on a tire rack




Im goning to finish the spare tire and start working on the front bumper.

 

Forgot to mention that the camburg uca's were put on along with the fox shocks and ome 2.5" leaf pack.

What do you guys think?

 

I like it, good job

 

Should be starting the front bumper here soon.

Haven't done much off roading yet but towes a trailer with 2 bikes great! Seems to handle fine down semi ruff dirt roads.

 

Looking good! How are the UCAs treating you?

 

UCA's have been great! went in without a problem and haven't had a problem with them yet.

 

Washed her today and then it decides to rain... Oh well looks like ill have to get it dirty again!!

I like the tire carrier

 

Thanks. Just have to make the feet to mount it to the bed and then I'm going to put a few things coming off of it. Should have it done real soon.

 

Went out riding yesterday. Dirt was perfect and it was really nice out. snapped a few pictures of the truck and also took the trailer off and went cruising around a little.







got her a little muddy

 

Got some goodies yesterday. (off an old race car we used to have)
4 lights (2 new, 1 used, 1 with no lens but going to fix it)





Got this from a garage sale for a couple bucks


got 3 of these with 2 mounts for 10 bucks!! Love garage sales. My dads gonna take 1 mount with two gas cans and im gonna take the water can and mount.

 

Front bumper is almost done... Have to finish welding then off to get powder coated... will post pictures soon.

 

anyone know of some good LED Pods that cost around $50? looking to get 2.

 

Going to order 2 or 3 digi diodes pods in the next few days for the bumper. will post more pictures soon.

Anyone done the gauge cluster light swap? is it farely easy? not very good with electical stuff and dont want to mess anything up.

Also, has anyone found led interior lights for the map and dome lights that work for the 01-04 tacos.

 

I don't know about the cluster light swap, but for the Map and dome lights PM CSjumper (the LED guy).

 

Thanks. Have been looking for the dome lights for a while and will be shooting him a pm.

 

Finished the bumper and am really happy with how it came out.







All the lights.



Just the pods.



Just the hids.



What do you guys think?

 

Subbed, how do you like those grabbers? How the power with 33's? I'm running 32 now and still has some balls.. Need tires soon and I'm thinking about going 33
