95 taco's 2003 DC 4x4 not much of a build

How did you run into a tree?? Must have had some good speed to bend your bumper and damage all those other things.

 

Narrow trail and slick mud.
Impact speed was somewhere close to 15 MPH, truck had some momentum because of the 600+ lbs of stuff and 3 adults in it.

Also forgot to mention that I sheared a cam tab on the passenger side, hence the trailer.

 

Another reason for me to fuel my hatred for mud

 

Well, ordered a TC cam tab gusset kit today, gonna start teardown on the front suspension tomorrow to prep for install.

 

Cam tab gussets have arrived, gonna TIG them together tomorrow or thursday, finish drivers side disassembly and then install, get the alignment close then try to pull the bumper back out, after everything is back together my truck is going to stay as is for at least 6 months.

Going to be building a shop and house this year as well as starting a new job so life is about to get busy.

 

Jake we are doing project pull my engine out this Saturday if you would like to join. Probably gonna starts at 9 or 10 ish. My phone is dead right now or I would just text you.

 

Ok, as far as I know i'll be there, text me the address.

 

Finally went back and got a picture of the tree I hit, I think if it had been bigger and the soil firmer I could've easily bent the frame.

 

Huh, been over a year since I posted in here........
Gonna be selling the truck in the next few weeks probably.....

 

Time to work on the third gen build?

 

I'm not sure what I'm gonna do with the 3rd gen yet, I for sure want to keep it but I think I'm going to keep it mostly stock, maybe LED headlights, steel rear bumper and new (stock, maybe 1" lift) suspension, of course it's gonna get a sound system and a real subwoofer.

Since I'm starting to be an adult now that I've graduated I'm starting to think about saving for some property and then building a shop/apartment combo on it.

Ended up not selling the truck, been using it for work so I added some strobes.

Totaled a tundra a week ago, so I'm planning on pulling the supercharger from the 4runner and putting it on the taco.
I've also had an issue pop up, I have intermittent loss of throttle, TPS on the scan gauge stays constant when when giving throttle but no acceleration, so I'm probably gonna end up with a whole throttle body assembly.
