    I donno on a thread name ? this is a 2nd gen d/c taco with a mid travel kit that we cut up built a full interior cage , bed cage , long travel , super charged , 9" trailing arm rear , 35s , tubbed the front , built custom spindles , and just made a pretty bad ass rig ! enjoy some pictures as my english skills will hurt your head :)6088.jpg 6087.jpg 6086.jpg 6135.jpg 6136.jpg

    This is how life started out , for most this would be pretty rad it came in with a sprung under deaver kit and some 16" remote resi fox shocks and some light racing bumps in the rear , fox coilovers , LR bumps front , rcv's , some glass body panels , 33s that rubbed , everything was in there for a few years and clapped out .
    we made a game plan and ordered 2 pallets of parts and had a couple months to do it ,his plan was to pre run between pits for a mutal friend racing sxs at the 1000 , we had just recently moved into our new shop here and things were in disarray but were excited to start stripping the rig .. first step was gut interior , strip suspension and pretty much cut the back of the truck off :)

    So first we started with the rear mid cage so we could pass the tubes through the cab to tie in the rear frame section , figured out wheel base and started on some trailing arms . its always a little nerve racking cutting a truck in 1/2 ..
