01Tac0ma Build

Leafs, only because I picked up the whole setup for the most part from a guy in NC for 2k I figure as well leafs will get me where ill need to be and when the day comes they don't then ill link it. Going to somewhat mimick the frenchy build and try to get it as low as possible.. my leafs are already broken in so once shes on the ground for the first time is should be about right, except ill be running 33's until I can get the 35's.. need to sell more Bumpers & Sliders!

 

Yeah, i love that look! if i ever sas it will be low like that. But i don't think ill ever sas it as theres only one place around here i can't really go and thats just 4wd, no locker or any armor so i don't see a need for it as long as I'm living here..

 

Travel! haha I go all over, theres some decent places around here.. I honestly saw the whole kit c on craigslist one day in concord so I called the guy and told him to hold it for me as I was out of town for another 2 weeks and the day after my birthday I went and looked at it and wala here it is

 

What susp setup are you planning on running in the rear? Just skimmed through your build really quickly and if you already posted it, I probably missed it.

 

Im unsure atm, going to French the front and see how low I can get it with leafs.. probably around 25 1/2" or so I hope.. but once that's done ill decide what to do with the rear, from reading the Frenchy build Scott said the truck came out with about 6" of lift over stock with brand new leafs, and mine are already broken in but 6" is about whats in the rear currently.. at worst probably be about 1-2" short and ill do a block most likely just to level out until I can get a permanent solution.. If I have to end up buying new leafs ill either get the allpoo expos and some sort of shackle allthoughit may not be enough as I got what ive heard they give out back as is.. so maybe the TG 4" or 5" springs.. I have all the hangers and such to relocate everything in the rear that I got from the guy I picked everything up from.

On another note, I picked up my 4:88 diff today!
Hopefully pick up all the axle seals, kings, felts etc. within April with ahseet of plate to build the truss I have in mind...

 

Ah I see, I'm still debating on what setup I want to go with in the rear as well. I too, have the trailgear sas kit and just got my front axle hung today.

 

Awesome! let me know if you actually have to change the rad lol im hoping to get by without for now. im gonna have a glass front driveshaft for a while till I cans save up for the taco box.. no point in doing them twice. but I want to at least get the axle hung for sure!

 

I don't think you have to but it's highly suggested. I changed mine out since mine got busted in an accident. I really had no choice BUT to SAS it since the whole front end was pretty much fubared. I have a Prerunner so I ordered the inchworm adapter to run a gear driven tcase. That's on back order till end of April though so I'll be rockin' a 2wd sas for a bit haha.

 

I used Raptor liner, its held up great in my truck as well as a buddies but I wouldn't recommend it in the bed if you will heavily use the bed for heavy items. Ill be re spraying my floors in order to just build back up.. only thing that's worn down inside is where my heel sits under the pedals and it slowly rubs the texture down

 

Yea I really like it on the inside! Id recommend taking the time to get every bit of the factory sound deadening stuff up.. was really hard to get off my floors and had some tar like stuff on parts of it but another truck I did it peeled right up so hopefully yours will be easier. Ive also heard good things out of Monsterliner.. Going to look into their kit for the outside of my truck.. gotta do something about my driver door now haha

 

Eno hammock/tie down mounts on bedrack

 

x2 It stays with me! Been hanging on to those shackle mounts forever and that little baby 1/2" shackle is perfect for it!

Heres a few pics from this weekend at the beach...

 

Ha the tree was pretty legit! I probably get lots of looks being a bigger guy carrying that little pouch around then laying in it

I use the Atlas straps, but in the pics the blue eno is using the Kammok straps and I like them much more, although I have no complaints from the atlas ones either. The Kammock straps are the same price if not cheaper, a good foot or so longer and have more settings per say and they don't stretch like the Atlas straps do although mine have seemed to not stretch anymore due to almost everyday use I guess

 

Picked up everything to rebuild my front axle! Just waiting on a sheet of 3/16 to build my truss and ill be done with the front axle till I can throw it under the truck! Waiting to see how this new job pans out cause id like to just 3link and throw the taco box from RST in at the same time of the initial swap!

 

I try to follow a lot of TW members!

 

dem dents lmao

 

Where's the SAS?????

 

Still sitting on jackstands on my welding table... awaiting a piece of plate to finish it off with then ill be throwing it all together.. still unsure when it will go under the truck but ill have the axle together. Need a steering shaft, t-case crossmember, PWR steering conversion and odds and ends

 

Shes finally sitting on all fours!
22 3/4" frame height on 32's!





Have another inch or so up front in this pic
