    Too many.
    Pretty excited about my build. I had the opportunity to go to the off road show in Pomona Ca. Last year to see some awesome Tacoma builds. I was able to see all the main manufacturers and fabricators.

    I decided to go with a mid travel build. I know, with the amount of money I have invested why! I have been asked that many of times and my response is always IDK.

    Armor:

    Brute Force Fab front and rear bumpers.
    RCI full steel skids
    TG rear differential weld on cover

    Lighting:

    baja designs pro in multiple locations
    And want more.

    Recovery:

    Warn m8000 synthetic rope
    Factor 55 fair lead and flatlink

    Running gear

    gears 5.29
    Harrop Elocker Front
    RCV front axle

    Suspension:

    Camburg UCA Billet
    Elibach 700lb springs coil over
    Total Chaos expedition series LCA with dual shock option.
    Total Chaos secondary shock assembly
    (6) Fox 2.5 Reservoir shocks
    Archive Garage hammer hanger
    Archive Garage shock relocation

    SPod

    Method 701 bronze with 35” Falken MT
    Arb Snorkel.

    special thanks to Bryce @ timberline off-road and auto body, Billy @ Brute Force Fab for awesome bumpers, Fearless gear (Fresno).

    prob missing some things. Hope to see you all on the Trails.

    Awesome build! Well-thought-out. A great example of buy once, cry once. :amen:

    Have you thought about asking the mods to move this post to the build section over here?

    It seems like we're we missing pictures of the 2nd shocks up front?
    Any reason why you went with the TC cam gussets compared to Marlin LCA frame brace kit?
    Are those OEM shackles out back?

    Thanks! :thumbsup: That is one nicely built rig!

    The shocks are on back order due to the Covid19 crap. Once they arrive they will be sent to Accutune off road for a revalue and tune.

    I was going to purchase Achieve Garage shackles but was advised by them just to run the OEM shackles.

    thanks hopefully this weekend I can wheel
    It!

    who should I request to move the thread?

    @jberry813 likes moving threads out of the 3rd gen section. Usually for a different reason though.

    Thanks I sent a message to move the thread.

    Marlin’s LCA supports are bad a—. I would have put them in mine if I was aware of them.

    How many inches of travel are your rear shocks?
