Another 3 Linked Taco

I posted most of this in the solid axle section, but then realized theres an actually build section

Since that section doesn't get much traction figured I'd post here. Now I can hang out with the cool kids.

Found the deal of a lifetime on craigslist for a complete (all brand new) All pro 3 link with links, brackets, steering box, borgeson steering shaft, almost all the hardware, walker evans coil overs, all pro 3" leafs and a crap load of other goodies for $600....yeah $600... I ended up going with ruffstuff axle brackets instead of the dinky 3/16 brackets all pro supplied.

So thats when I decided I was going with a solid axle for sure

Specs:
2002 Supercharger 3.4
Rock assault elocker housing tacoma width with FROR tacoma brackets
stock elocker rear
5.29s front and rear
3 link front with all pro frame brackets
ruffstuff steering/panhard
12" walker evans coil overs in ruffstuff 12'' towers
FROR crossmember and skid plate
etc etc etc

Pre sas wheeling














My buddy came over to handle the torching (labor for truck parts is always nice, and I'm not very skilled with a torch) and so begins the real building.










Full Bump





fitting shocks





Full droop, well still and inch or two to go



Steering box mounted



Tower notched for steering shaft



MMMMMmmmmmmm



starting to get an idea



Axle built

 

more pics as the progress continued on

 

Things to do still

Put on front bumper (that was graciously awarded to me from Tacoma world )

Install 63s

Plenty of things that I will say I'm gonna do but take way too long to actually do it haha

Stay tuned.

 

Sub'd!

 

That is sick! Well done, Man!

 

That was a steal for 600 bucks... looks real good though!

 

Thanks man

Yeah I was kind of blown away as well

 

Holy shit $600.....deal of a lifetime! Awesome find and great looking rig!!!!

 

Thanks man yeah I've definitely thrown more than $600 since lol but it was a great start

 

Sick. Deal of the century.

 

Finally threw the front bumper on that I won from Tacomaworld.

Either today or tomorrow I'm gonna do my 231mm brake upgrade

 

Oh I also threw on some new walker Evans (fake beadlocks lol)

 

Little localish trail with my buddy and his SAS taco on 39s

 

Looking for insight on some good rear springs, I want flex but to be able to carry the load of all my camping stuff at the same time.

I've read about all pro expos but they won't have any in stock for 8-12 weeks
