Trigo’s long travel limo build

They all use the 8.4 - perhaps it was e-lock vs. open diff you were reading about - here's the bible:

wish i knew that a long time ago lol my dumbass should have stuck with that axle.... so much cheaper than what my full burg axle is gonna cost me in the end..

 

Need rear long travel

 

Swooped another set of 35’s for free. Decent thread on them, gonna mount them up tomorrow

 

Still fenderless waiting for my 6” fenders but I got my new to me 35’s mounted up !

 

yea swapping out the diff was as straight forward as a regular taco axle

 

Still contemplating what I’m gonna do with the rear. I picked up my 7” bedsides this week from ADV. didnt realize these don’t come with the gas door cut out so I’ll be rerouting it into the bed.

 

7” bedsides installed.

 

Needs 37’s now

 

So good

 

Picked up the fronts today from McNeil. Forgot how high the front end looks with fenders lol gonna mount them tomorrow then hopefully paint this weekend. She’s getting the harbor freight special

 

What paint / setup you going with?

 

Gonna pick up a matching paint code paint from a shop down the street from my work. Last year I got some paint from them to repaint my roof and it was a damn good match. And we’re gonna use a harbor freight paint gun using my shops air.

 

Single stage or color and clear?

 

Lol you're right. With that front glass it needs 37's now

 

Contemplating picking up a hood too before I paint but I’m not sure yet.

 

color and clear.

 

Picked up a Hanneman hood awhile back - par for the course on fitment with old model glass.

 

I wanna get a hood also but i might cut mine up... scoop hoods are so clean though

 

I used to have one on my old ls taco and to this day I regret selling it. Fitment was solid!
