JD's '02 Tacoma Build

Thanks, tight fit but got it all in there. I might be able to get the engine running tonight

 

does the stock pump reach the bottom of the cell?

 

It was about an inch short, I extended it down so it sits about an 1/8" above the bottom now

 

Tank in, just need to clean up the hoses and extend the electrical

 

Stop it...

 

I'll be done soon

 

Crazy talk.... it never ends

 

Hooked up the fuel pump wires last night and it started right up

 

Is that for your bias? Or ebrake? Ive got a manual line lock i want to run to my center console like that fir an ebrake is why im asking. I just think running the lines there is going to be a bitch.....

Truck looks great btw.....! Kinda wish I linked mine but that's a hell of a lot more work and it was already a beast doing sua.......

 

Its for bias. I thought about adding a line lock too but didn't yet. I was running new brake lines from the master cylinder back anyway so it wasn't too hard to re route in the cab. I bought these lines, $4-$7 and comes pre flared with fittings, easy to bend by hand

First shock mount tacked on

 

And its on its own weight still need to box and plate the shock mounts but it was enough to check and see how close I am on spring rate, tied up the loose wires and it drove around the block. Sitting a little high and zero preload but missing 27+ gallons of gas, spare tires, etc so it seems like spring rate should be close

 

No calipers from a 83 Monte Carlo, rotors from a 89 Chevy K1500. The problem was Currie doesn't make an axle with center bore large enough for Toyota rotors so I had to use Chevy rotors, which also let me go to 14mm studs instead of 12mm. Then they make $15 ebay weld on brackets for the Monte Carlo calipers so they locate depth and height of the K1500 rotors. Plus they are super cheap, and they use a 10mm banjo so I could use OEM Toyota rubber lines from the hard line to caliper without re flaring anything

 

Rough fender location, these should work

 

Lookin good man! Come a long way sense I dropped by a few months ago for nitrogen with @Milota95 for my rear smoothies

 

The rear view of the coilover brace looks cool.

 

Thanks and glad I could help!

Yeah I wasn't sure if I liked the shape when I was making them, they had to bend a little farther than I originally planned but looking at the photos I like how they are going so far

 

Shock mounts complete, suspension is pretty much done, mounted the fenders and drove it to the gas station No check engine lights and no pending codes. Gearing feels really good, 4.63 and 33"s my speedo was at 50 mph and gps said I was doing 47 mph. Overall feels amazing and no issues on the initial drive, so far so good!
