JD's '02 Tacoma Build

Haha hell ya. We should go out around little Mexico by you sometime!! Im going camburg and the h70 pack too

 

Bike fits with the cage





Spent Thursday in Gordons Well with my sister before heading to Glamis on Friday



Small carnage, broke the turn signal housing, blew the rear SAW's again, and added some more desert pinstriping

 

Any action shots ?

 

No my phone was dead most of the time

 

any ideas on what i should do about the tubes for my shock mounts?
i thought about welding the cracks and running 2 tubes on each side of the current one down to the frame. so like this /|\. whatcha think?

 

I was thinking the exact same, its just that those shock towers are so thin. And yours were pretty bent to shit already lol. That should help so the force gets spread out

 

ok ill be doing that. thanks dude!!

 

So I seen on Stefen's build you said you had no rear shocks. It seemed more relevant to post here to ask, what happened to your shocks?

 

Sold and in the process of looking for bypasses, just upgrading

 

Did kaleb pick em up?

 

Ah word. Going for some King Kong's? Haha I kidd, I kidd.

 

Idk it was some crazy dude that drives the wheels off his truck

Kings, but no kongs. Having my rear cage already done kinda limits me to needing a 26" collapsed length, I don't want to have to rebuild anything

 

I sea. Are you going to stick with the standard valving?

 

Ive been doing my homework and going to valve everything, should be pretty close

 

Gnar. I've grown accustomed to the digressive valving. I drove a buddy's truck with King's on it (2.5 ext trv) and I liked the manners they have at low speed, but they got a little too generous at 50+. Overall though I was impressed.

 

Picked up some tewb for more cajun

 

What's next?

 

Need to finish my engine cage so I have a place to mount secondaries
