    4.56s with 37s and it still holds 5th gear? I know its probably not a main concern, but have you started to track you mpg? You know.. daily driver and all. :D

    Dude I've seen a lot of builds and yours is top notch man. I love this thing. From the color, to the drivetrain(I know:crapstorm:), to the quality of the components and the fab.
    And of course it looks hard af which is always cool:cool:
    But nice work hermano

    Get the 4cyl 5lug radiator, it will be flush with the bottom of the frame rails.

    Totally agree with you, I came from the coil spring rear land cruiser world. Took some getting used to driving the taco on the comfort level:D I know I'm being a sissy but it's not a bad thing to have a lil more comfort in the ride right? Lol

    I'm a level or a touch of rake kinda guy.
    The only way squat looks right in my mind is if the trucks running glass fenders and LT Otherwise seems level or touch of rake is way to go.
    Wait is this is an opinion of the look question?

    Thinking going up to 85% will give me less transfer to rear on climbs. Probably going to go that route

    Stumbled on a thread here and pointed me in the right direction with the fender holes after removing the flares, I like the look of a flareless taco:)
