2011 Extreme Tacoma build for Guyana South America

Hard to believe you managed to cram driveshafts through the front suspension.

 

Amazing. Looking forward to updates.
Edit: hopefully these clients in the jungle are legit as well right?

 

Wont be reliable in hostile terrain. Turbos and very hot Supercharged engines will fail when suddenly dunked in muddy Jungle pools and mud.



Got to be able to drive throug this...that hilux i built while on holiday in Guyana

Jungle mud!!! Stock trucks will punish here,


Tundra i modified there also

Toyota Hiace minibus going into the interior full of passengers and load on the roof..2wd believe it or not.

Landcruiser river crossing.

 

Is this at ride height? Looks like your rocking some stink bug (not a bad thing!). Is this defined leaf pack the one with the added leaf or is this one of the older leaf packs?

Could you please also measure the distance from center hub to bottom of bedside for a reference for me later?

Thanks

 

Yes close friends..i dont build commercially..just for fun...my other job takes up my time!! Lol

 

Yes thats ride height...what is rocking stink bug?? Lol Defined sold me that Deaver leaf pack..works with his rear setup.

 

Sure..in Boston for a few days...when i get back.

 

I understand that but the older pack had 1 less leaf. His new packs that ship out are 1 added leaf.

The trucks rocking stink bug! Never heard that phrase? When the back end is higher than the front??

In any case the truck looks stupid awesome! Im jelly! Enjoy it! And thanks for the help in the future!

 

Dam nice build

 

Thats ride height empty.When trucks go into interior they have to carry fuel, iceboxes, extra spare, coolers with food. Without the shackle flip it looks like a dog with worms with load in bed!!!

 

after loaded up with gear it should even out..

with my setup i have a little "stink bug" affect with my AllPro Expo Leaf Springs but after everything is loaded up im usualy sagging a bit in the rear..

 

we did order extra leaves for load.

 

perfect, thanks!

 

I feel stupid now lol I just went to the first page and counted your leafs

 

Try these with normal spring mounting. I am building an 05 with OME HD leaf pack and mounted these Timbren SES Rubber springs on upper bumpstop strike plate to keep hole pointing down. The kit wants them mounted on spring plate with hole upwards to trap dirt!!! Lol




Full compression with empty bed..timbren will crush to 2 inches with full crush..they give a supurb cushion on bottom out.

 

i just very recently removed my timbrens..the rebound and bucking that was associated with them got to be too much for me...scary plus, they took away almost 2" of total up travel. i will be adding hydraulic bumps soon.

the timbrens were great for towing! ..

 

OP whats your lift amount in the front?

 

I got about 4 inches before they hit so normal driving its not a problem. The 05 Taco will be fetching loads in rough roads so like your towing it suppliments the severe bottoming out. What type shocks are you using in rear?
The fox shocks i have there are 10 inch stroke ..Fj Cruiser rear shocks.
