    It was super easy to install. Just get new fender liner clips beforehand cause they all broke on me

    Finally got a bit of snow here. Also just found out that my 1.5 year old OEM lower ball joints have a significant amount of play. So replacing those one of these days before I leave on a 10 day camp trip up Northern Vancouver Island

    Yes they were pro comps. 15x8 and 3.75” backspacing. Had to run spacers to clear the Calipers

    Got the back half of my frame replaced. Didn't think it was too bad considering the others I have seen but look at the sand inside the frame rails lol. The new frame should last a while!

    Truck looks good! Opened up this thread randomly to look for inspiration and I'm sure I've seen this truck around town, I'm just in Langford/Colwood. Wish I had the know-how/space/time/money to tinker and mod my truck as much as you've done. Do you get all your metal fabrication done at the same spot?

    Ya I live in the west shore and usually work downtown. Truck is down right now for some driveshaft work though. Front bumper and sliders were built by a guy in Sooke. Rear swingout bumper is coastal off-road and he welded it up for me. The canopy rack and half frame was done by my fabricator buddy up in Port McNeil. A few different welders haha but I recommend them all. Very happy with every piece

    Tacoma is being sold next week. Bought my old 89 pickup back to build into a more capable bush truck!
