Body work done. Blasted primed and painted. Install in the morning. Benefits of having a fully stocked shop

 

Moving quick now aren't you? wasn't expecting to see an update so quick, certainly nice to have everything on hand

 

Its great having all the tools and even better when there isnt anyone in the shop

 

I want a USB outlet in my truck bed preferably near the outlet. Best ways I do this? Go.

Will let you know at the end of feb (if they arrive )

 

Ready for anything … thanks to whoever threw up the post on the princess auto boxes. (Whomever?)

 

one of these connected to the 400W inverter in the bacl

 

if i get mine before you, then we'll see by then, said screw it and picked up a full set front & back. the dog has been dragging in mud a lot more often when he rides in the back

 

Looks good

I have 4 inch lift with diff drop and ran 285's on 17x8.5 wheels with -6 offset. Removed sway bar. Had rubbing off road but in everyday driving it was minimal, only when hitting driveways. I love the wider tire look over skinnies but wasn't in the mood to chop anything so switched to the skinnies. Running the 255's now and it's all good.

 

You wont need a CMC if you are running stock uca’s
This is verified on both my tacomas running 285/70r17 and 295/70r17 (did rub cab mount but not enough to consider doing it)
You will need to cmc if you put after market control arms (not necessary but highly recommended)

Ill have to double check but the wheels i use have 4.75” back spacing 8.5” wide

 

I'm itching to put my lift in but I dread the look of it with my skinny snow tires.

 

Yeah, no... have to get my hands on the wider end caps. I plan on cutting front cross member and increase approach angle plus do something similar like this bumper below.



Currently it’s sits and drives
like this

Not sure about that, but to prove me wrong those on 33s can always come with me to the Greens.

 

Is that a bulldog off of a mack truck on that bumper on the grey truck? I happen to have one in my garage if you are going to replicate that bumper

 

You want something weatherproof like this:

Quick Charge 3.0 USB Charger Socket, ADSDIA 12V/24V 36W Aluminum Waterproof Dual Car Charger Power Adapter Outlet with LED Display for Car Boat Marine Motorcycle Scooter RV Golf Cart DIY Kit

Drill a hole in the cubby door or in the bed itself.
Tap into the tail light running light wiring.

 

I'm surprised you're just not building a Baja truck, go get some sponsors and make your dreams come true

but you're right! you don't need a winch for Greens. you just need a buddy jeep with a winch to do Greens...

 

Update on the mini after a week of beating the hell out of it seeing what it can do.
Also pretty impressed how it is in the snow so far given how light and low it is.

Maybe in a couple weeks ill drive it really nice to see how good i can get the gas milage

 

Please point me to the build thread of the taco with solid axle in picture

 

that's what it is, I'll need a miniature bottle of vodka there.

Hmmm, this would be interesting idea, start small and go there... now just need sponsors... time to start YouTube channel then!

it's not on TW, it's got twin traction beam

 

Yes ttb the front cover gives it away just wanted to know if i was seeing things.
Would love to see if there are radius arms under there....
