TW GUIDED BUILD. THANKS GUYS. ITS A LONG ONE

Hmmm that's not a bad idea. I agree w/ Idaho, clear coat would be good after. I'll have to look into that one. Thanks for the idea!

 

look whos talking. ur front is still chrome

 

at least mine is attached

 

Latest addition:



Next up, steering rack bushings replacement. I crawled under the truck the other day and had my buddy move the steering wheel left and right while I watched the power steering rack so the same night I ordered the new bushings from toytech and decided to throw in the brake proportioning valve bracket in there for good measure. Brake kit took about 5 quick minutes. The power steering rack bushings however, look a bit scarier so I'm going to wait for a day off for that one.

 

just an idea my dad had, we did this to my grille about a month ago, and i like the look of it?

 

Hey that looks pretty damn good! I like it. Was it hard to paint the chrome on the bumper? What kind of paint and prep did you use?

 

So today I towed the old man's double axle dump trailer to lowe's for a friend of mine who's brave enough to rebuild his back porch. Its my first time towing it with the lift and wheels on it and well... felt the difference. It is a pretty heavy steel trailer. All things considered I think she did okay. Driving through the city in stop and go traffic and lights, I tried to see if i could get the motor to over heat. I turned on the AC, drove with a slightly heavy foot just to see if the temp gauge would rise any more than usual. Nothing. Never budged passed normal operating temp. I love my truck. She's small but she has a big heart.

 

Truck looks good man I like the progress. I love another black taco......wonder why . This makes me think I need to start a build thread myself.

 

Thanks! I slowed down a bit on it with work and now school taking up most of my time. I don't see why you haven't started one get to it man! lol

 

DAMN, nice truck man

Lookin clean, and I dig the stance. How are you liking the ride post lift??

 

actually my front and rear bumpers were factory black when i bought the truck, and i was looking for someone to trade the solid black to a chrome, but then dad had the idea to put those little chrome trim strips on the sides of it, to give it a little bit of chrome, but i have seen people paint their bumpers black from the chrome. also do you have your front shocks adjusted to anything? or are they setting at 0"? also sorry about the reply i aint been on here in a couple months been busy all summer....

 

looks awesome
