    Get some new shocks/leafs, tires at least 33's and home fab some armor and you'll be set.

    Also needs a bed bob :D

    Nice sliders on your Taco, square tube is the way to go.

    Can someone explain to me what I'm looking at? It has like leaf springs and like two sets of shocks I'm not familiar with this suspension setup at all...

    Are you talking about the Steering Dampener (white shock, going left to right) or the "track bars" going front to back?

    Me,Chad and blake went down to Carver mills rd yesterday to do some wheeling. My first real experience with rocks, mud, hills and all sorts of stuff i thought this thing couldn't do. I was shocked.

    pics.

    And this is where it gets funny.

    We were riding in the creek ( i havent done the diff breather mod-gotta do that lol) And i was attempting to climb various hills. After coming straight out the water my tires were slick and the sand was super soft so i couldnt get any traction, After backing down a hill i heard blake honk his horn at me. I had backed straight into a damn tree. Lol

    I pulled off of it,painfully i admit and we kept driving. I found a sweet hill that i eventually climbed and we check out the damage, It was straight fucked up lol. But luckily i had my hi-lift and we came up with a plan

    We removed my tailight and placed my hi-lift against a tree, using my towels so it didnt scratch up the bumper.
    [​IMG]

    Pics of said setup
    [​IMG]

    We started jacking the lift and sure enough it was pushing the bumper back into place! :D

    this is the side that was undamaged.
    [​IMG]


    And the fixed side: :D
    Freakin looks good to me, you cant tell nothing. I got lucky there but now it means i've gotta get a move on the rear bumper haha.

    [​IMG]


    After wheeling for about 5 hours we headed back to sonic where i bought blakes food for the idea haha, there are way more pics but i dont have them, chad and blake took abunch, stay tuned for more!
