    Do you have a link for the pinch weld mod? Also, did you stack your doetsche lift on the with leveling kit and spindle lift?

    Found it! https://adventuretaco.com/finally-the-pinch-weld-mod/

    I am trying to get to 31" wheels. I think the pinch weld mod can do it.

    I use a 1.5" spacer on the rear wheels and it brings the front and rear back into pretty good alignment.

    Don’t really have the time or means to ship it. But if you’re local to the bay area its yours for free. Not sure what condition its in rn. Been sitting outside at my shop for awhile.

    Sweet! I work in the bay area a few months out of the year and will be driving through in January. If you still have it then I'll take it off your hands

    Hey Shooter, your lifted S-runner looks awesome, really unique build. I love the allpro front bumper on it. Did that take any additional modification/fab work? I have a 5-lug '97 and had thought about high clearance bumpers before, but couldn't find much info on them.

    thanks, Nolan.

    No it fits up just like any other tacoma. You just cant use the skids they sell with it.
