Toyotally awesome 08 tacoma

Got any pics? Thats the only thing thats on the way

 

All I did was cut one of the factory legs off so not had a flat platform to mount to and then built a plate that welds to the cage that it bolts to.




I really need to clean off all the fiberglass dust. Makes it look like crap

 

That is some spectacular work right there! I assume you've had some experience building race rigs?

That's gonna be a lot of fun when you get it out in the dirt. Can't wait to see the finished product.

 

Thats fff clean! Got a pic where lines apear?

I will try to get some pictures tonight. I was trying to get it done for thanksgiving but things on the to do lost kept growing. Also didn't help that it sat 4in to high in the rear with zero preload. I had 350/450 for the springs that came with the shocks but with how far back the shocks are I need a lot less so I switched them (thanks to Kellan) for 200/250 so that should do the trick. The frontend is on the ground though! Just need to align it and it should be good to go up there.

My list still includes:
Mount glass
Throw front glass in the trash can
Rear brake lines
Bleed brakes
Reinstall fuel tank
Finish spare tire mount
Bumper
Find a factory toyota rear window (aftermarket doesn't fit)
Amber lights
Notch bed to clear bypass tube
And the best one, go beat the piss out of it!

 

Battery switch installed


Have it ran so I have two posts to jump off of since the batteries are behind the back seat. Opposite of the gas tank to help distribute the weight evenly. These posts also worked out awesome for tying into the factory wiring.
