How the truck sits today:


The first day I got her:




Mall Crawler..


Time for a new front Bumper




Trimming 2.5" off the fenders, beat back the pinch weld, and installed the new Insain fab body mount to clear 35's










Demello bumper getting a makeover




And its time for the 35's





Patently waiting for my SR8s to come in =)



Some fun in the sun in AZ




The drawer/sleeping platform took some time to design but came out great. I knew the conventional drawer siding wouldn't cut it so I used 1.5" sliders and a 100 pack of skateboard bearings that were aligned on the top and bottom of the sliders. Yes, its overkill but they can hold 200lbs when fully extended. I still want to add a few things but here it is:










I used a 3" queen foam mattress and had a cut a few inches off from each side but it fits like a glove.




SR8s have arrived!!!







That is all for now.. More to come soon! Thanks for checking it out

 

Nice truck!! Something for my truck to look up too! haha

 

Thanks man! It has been a lot of work to get to this point but totally worth it!!

 

I love how Tacoma's look on 35's.
Nice build so far and great job on the sleeping/drawer platform.
Are you running spacer lift at the momment?

 

Thanks. The 35s definitely beef it up. I do have a 1" spacers up front. But I should have my kings in about 1.5 months =]

 

Once those Kings are installed should be even better

 

Believe me, I can't wait lol but thanks man!

 

How did you fit the 35's with a 3 inch lift? Do you scrub pretty badly?

 

I explain it in the thread.. But trimmed my fenders, beat the pinch weld back, and a new body mount.

 

Nice work, like the rims and bed setup!

 

Sweet build! Nice work on that sleeping platform.

 

Thanks guys!

 

Did you buy different flares to put on it as well?

 

Nope! Stock fenders trimmed 2.5 inches

 

Are they located in CO? And are they used?

 

Thanks!!
