A 2nd Gen Resto(ish)/Build(ish)/BS(ish) thread..Taken over by another Tundra, and a Tacoma is back

No real updates, been crazy busy with work. Did get the Ranchhand replacement on, and upgraded the camper again.


Slight upgrade to this.


I do have Eibach 2.0s for the front here, just trying to decide on rear suspension and wheels and tires. Leaning towards Method 301’s so I can put a matching set on the trailer.

 

Gotta love Marketplace, scored a set of MR304’s for $450 this morning. Eibach 2.0s are on the shelf, so just need tires and I’ll be almost ready, depending on what else I decide on.

 

These showed up today

to join these



Ordered some 295/70R18 Nitto’s as well. Just need UCA’s and Coachbuilder +2 Shackles and I’ll be ready for an install weekend

 

All the parts are in for the suspension. Tires are mounted, hoping to get it all installed next weekend. Did get some decal work done to mark the truck and trailer match.

 

Managed to get the suspension mostly done today. I was gonna run the RAS at a softer setting and use Coachbuilder shackles, but my shackles are seized on. So cranked the RAS to go with the Eibach 2.0s and the SPC’s. I can officially say Tundra’s are easier than Tacos lol. Probably gonna take the fronts up another half inch or so, but I’m liking it.

 

All aligned and rolling true. Really happy with the results.




Tow mirrors, rear bumper, and flares next.

 

There may be something new coming to revive this thread…. Fun times.

 

Thanks to @Boogyman there is a Tacoma in the stable again. I couldn’t let this truck out of the hands of one of us, and it’s going to be starting the fire for the next generation. I think someone is over the moon for his new truck, he asked if he could sleep in it tonight. He did have to wash it for the first time before it had been here 4 hours, I wanted to build the interest and I think this super cool rig with lots of love left to give did just the trick.

 

I am so stoked that truck is getting a second lease on life
