Long Travel REBUILD - 2001 4x4 Tacoma

I liked the look of the lamps better than the bar

 

What mounts did you use for the 42"?

 

Relentless. They look really good. I think that the whistling is coming from the fins on the bar, not because of the mounts.

 

Yea mine made noise too. I just got some rubber pieces and put them in there and it stopped.

 

A lot have this issue. Here is some fixes https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/how-to-fix-light-bar-whistle.352236/

 

go to auto zone and buy weather stripping and put it on the lower fin whistle will be gone!

 

That is an awesome build! Can you suggest a good Fabricator to rebuild mine?

 

Thank you! Depends on what your looking to get done. Camburg will install their own products and long travel kits. There's lots of other shops in socal. LSK, kibbetech, DTF (he's apart of the forum), and I'm sure there's others. I've personally done all the work on my truck, so I don't have any experience with any of the shops here, except for camburg.

 

Who's got 16" bypasses for sale? Last thing on the list before I'm ready to start putting it together.

 

Happy Birthday man!

Any update to the truck?

 

Thank you no update just searching for shocks still. kind of just been waiting til funds will allow to pin everything up at once.

 

Soooo started the truck up after sitting for a few days a few days ago and it puffed tons of white smoke, misfired, etc. so I came to the conclusion that my drivers side head gasket is blown. Got it torn down as much as I could today before the heat kicked my ass, but does anyone have any advice/pointers, other things I should replace while I'm in there? Also looking for a good gasket kit to replace everything from the head up.

 

Make sure to get the head resurfaced and check your cylinders for corrosion.

 

Anyone know where my best bet is for buying a low mile engine?

 

Alright, idk if anyone still cares about my truck but I picked up some 18s for the rear (which has a lot of people hating), bought my perches, proportioning valve, and been getting ideas for a bed cage. Still need the extended brake line, which I’m not sure what I will need, need hangers, hardware for my used shackles, shock mounts and “1.75 die for my bender. I’m sure I’m forgetting stuff. Hoping to get it started within the next couple weeks. I still need to get tc alignment tabs, coil bucket gussets and I wanna build a crossmember to tie the 2 coil buckets together. Also need some motor mounts eventually.

 

Got the bed off and started to get some junk out of the way. Spare tire crossmember, exhaust, etc. next step is going to be boxing the frame and getting the new crossmember in as I don’t have garage space to leave it sitting right now. I’ll be selling my e locker rear end as soon as it comes out if anyone’s interested. Only thing I’m unsure of is how to check if the frame is straight before welding in the plates and the crossmember

 

It’s looking great man! Keep us updated!

 

Finally getting somewhere
