    all stock so far, but looking to get some part soon. I want to add boost
    so I have the 2013 Tacoma four-door with the V6 unfortunately it has the 6 lug wheel and there's not many lowering kits for that specific truck.

    I'm going to sell white 4-door trt and I'm going to get the 5 lug wheel option and I'm going to start my build from there..

    I just got a 2000 tundra front subframe that I'm going to be up line to get my wider stance while staying OEM I'm just going to have a tundra front suspension on my Tacoma and I also would like to do a independent rear suspension Axle..

    what would you suggest?
    I currently have an Austin Martin v12 vanquish IRS, it's very nice it can hold up to 650 horsepower plus
    unfortunately it's about the same size as a stock Tacoma suspension so I'm going to need to do the long arm suspension on that and I can't find anything on there either so I will either have to do the spacers or a custom long arm suspension build which can be done.

    or just buy something that is a bit longer that's already the length I need for my wide stance build.

    I want this thing to be gnarly custom it's definitely going to be a one-of-a-kind Tacoma, hehehe ...
    once it's all completed and finished I will send off a list of every single part and modification.
    I will leave nothing out I will give you every single thing I have done and I possibly will have a couple videos on the build

    You should post some pictures of your previous builds, might get some more attention to the thread.

    As far as your questions.... I would guess it would be easier to build up either the tundra or the tacoma but not try to combine them
    is your tacoma four wheel drive?

    my Tacoma is not 4 x4 it is only 2 wheel drive
    in other words I'm trying to make an all wheel drive race truck I've done custom mini trucks before with the Isuzu hombre and the Chevy S10 but I've never done such a job like this before and you know if you don't ask questions then you're going to make mistakes and I have no shame to ask questions.
    I'm not really looking for attention I'm just looking for answers just a little bit of help here and there.

    once I'm done with my build and I show everybody what my truck outcome is like then I would be glad for some attention there but until then I would like constructive criticism and positive criticism everything always helps.

    a quick update on some new equipment that I have just picked up I have a tundra front subframe I'm using for my wide body front and I also have a IRS axle from a
    Aston Martin V12.. stock it built for 650HP+
    so it will hold up fine!.
    I'm also thinking of possibly doing rear steering capabilities just for show.
    I would like to have the option to have it locked or active for when I want rear steering,
    it would be pretty rad to have a very nice type turning radius especially with the wide-body I've been in many cases where you just don't have much room.
    I also just got my racing pulleys and about 2300 worth of carbon fiber and fiberglass so I'm about to start doing some work here pretty soon.

    this will be top secret but I have some custom carbon fiber.
    I'm sure you're all very confused on all these different parts from different vehicles yes my truck will be a Frankenstein I'm getting lots of different parts from different vehicles to make one complete job I've done this before and I've had some amazing outcomes you just have to be good with fabrication and that's what I do.
    see you guys in a little bit, off to do some work

    should I post videos as I build the truck or should I save up the videos and unleashed them all at once as a thread once the truck is finished.

    ONE VIDEO AT A TIME
    OR
    ALL AT ONCE IN A SOLID THREAD
