01Tacoprerunner's Build

It is Chance that does it. I think he does it on the side. So no Warranty, but he seems to do really good work!

 

Got BASH Fab sliders welded on last weekend and put a bastard leaf lift on it








Went to URE this weekend, the 4wd did great!

 

Looks good man! May have to steal the pics for my thread

 

This was where I got stuck and had to be pulled down the hill by a jeep! This was really slick!

 

very awesome truck. lots of works gone into it! and i must say you have convinced me to do the 4wd swap. from this point forward im not buying anything truck related unless its for my swap

 

It worth it!
I drove up and helped him do the install. Theres not much to it at all! Swapping the trans is the longest part but we also did it in the flat driveway with a regular floor jack

 

Yeah I figure it will be worth it! And I have access to a full shop.. So that's no biggie. Just don't really have the know how haha

 

Thank you sir! It has been a long time coming! I am so glad i did the swap, it has def been worth it!

^This guy right here is an awesome dude! And Kyle, they drove up and we did the swap in one day! Thank y'all again!

There not too much know how involved! Get on TTORA, and some of the threads on here and read! I spend countless hours of the past 2-3 years reading on forums.

 

I started collecting parts for my 2nd gen . I got the diff, axles, and hubs, picking up my transmission and front driveshaft soon. Then I need an FJ tcase, and figure out how to make the ADD work. Yours is a bit simpler with manual hubs

 

Update

Plastidipped my grill



Went to URE, a while back:







Hit 200k:



Got a Softtopper:

 

Looks good dood

 

Thanks man! how is the 4wd swap going?

 

Ain't started yet. Saving up to regear before I install the front diff.

 

Was going thru PM's and decided to checkout your build - Softopper looks good!
Looks like you've had fun with you rig. That's awesome.

 

how much did the 4wd conversion end up costing? Im looking into it

 

Update

Trailgear Low Profile Bumper and Lightbar, also moved my turn signals to the corner lights



Patch Collection

 

Nice truck!

 

Thanks Man!

 

Started working on a rear bumper build today, I am doing a bumper similar to BoxRocket's Tacoma bumper:

Started with a 5"x3"x 1/4" wall tubing cut to length, then cut out where I am going to install my hitch:


Started plating the cutout back:


Mocked up with the hitch:


That's as far as i got today. The plan is to use 1/4" Plate to create the brackets then weld them to the tubing, along with another support tube for the hitch. I also plan to run a plate under the hitch and connect back into the bumper beyond the bevels. I am also going to add side protection and a rear swingout, but that will be part 2 of my bumper build.

 

Safety Chain Hookup Layout



Mounting it up, I used my old hitch to hold it in place
