*** Mark's 2005 Tacoma Prerunner Build *** DMZ Fab Built

Already started chopping stuff off, if I keep having to go out of town on the weekends for work I might have to find some way off getting my truck down there without rear suspension in it...

 

How were you clearing the 315s before your spindle? and did you regear? Awesome build man

 

thanks man, you have to chop the body mount. Search it and you'll see lots of pictures of what exactly im talking about.

regeared to 4:56 Your mpg still goes to shit because of how heavy the tires are. I thought I would be able to gain some mpg when i regeared, not true. Look into 295/70/17

 

Nice, yeah the cab mount chop has been on my list for a while. I'll definitely look into 295's. I really want 35s but I dont have lift spindles and the total chaos spindles are pricey

 

Hey Mark I got a weird question: On that spare tire mount what did they use to bolt down D rings for the front two anchors? Did they lift the bed bolts and put the D-rings on those bolts then drill for the rear anchor point? Also what size tire (diameter specifically) are you running? It looks like it all fits good. Beautiful truck man!

 

sorry late reply. just replaced the bolts with factory D-rings from toyota. The tire is a bfg 315/70/17 35"

 

I thought so. You must have a long bed? I looked at mine and intended to do the same thing but I doubt it'll actually fit between the factory mount points.

Sexy truck man!

 

How much was the crossmember and how much welding was required?

 

Hey Mark can you bring this page back to life with some more pictures of the beast?

 

I’ve been inactive here but the truck has been down at DMZ getting caged

 

So its you're truck thats getting all the work done, tried to sneak a cab mount chop in at dmz for my new truck and Tim said the trucks keeping him busy haha!

 

I eventually ended up getting a shop to finish mine up. Boxed the frame built shock hoops to get 12" shocks under the bed, bump stops, etc. Does yours have any issue with water getting in around the filler cap? Check engine light has been on ever since I did my fenders for EVAP codes. Dealer said it was water getting in from the filler cap. I've replaced the while EVAP system and they came back. Did they build a splash shield for under the bed sides?

 

Sorry for the late response. No problems, no splash shield. I believe you have to get a line extension from a 4Runner. Do a search, its been covered. That might be reasons youre throwing up CEL.

 

Gotta grab some harnesses soon
