allenfab's 95 Tacoma build

Todd,
I like that. When flexed out, does the cab move around possibly pulling the support from the fender well?

Also, what is your caster set at?

 

Not sure about that, haven't flexed it since but I'm sure its going to flex and move that inner fender up and down some. But that's what the bushing is there for, to hopefully soak up some of that movement.

caster is at +6*

 

Thanks...
I believe mine is @ +6.34. My DS front wheel hops after hitting bumps in the road, has since I picked up the truck.
I will move it to +6 and try that.

Slander is @ +5.92 and no issues reportedly.

 

Damn thats and understatement! that battery isnt going anywhere now!

 

this thing showed up earlier this week

 

Awesome. X-mas came early for ya.

Now all ya have to do is look at it sitting there and resist the urge to begin installing it instead of working on Tim's truck, haha.

 

Oh this thing is going in asap lol. Since the time change, I've had pretty much 30 minutes a day to work on tims truck between the time I get off work and the time it gets dark, so it's had minimal attention lately. My truck has been in the garage waiting to be torn down since last weekend and I still haven't had a chance to start yet

 

Wait til next weekend and I'll come over and lend a hand.

 

I just so happen to have next weekend off entirely too

 

It's a date.

 

Driveshafts, exhaust, crossmember out in prep for the atlas install. I hope to have the stock case pulled out tomorrow.

 

You want me to come by Saturday or Sunday. I'm going to go fishing on the opposite day.

Wyatt told me he has a case in stock and needed to get ahold of Marlin for the 6 speed adapter.

 

I'd prefer Saturday but it's entirely up to you

 

That'll do.

 

Atlas is in but still have everything else left to do. Twin sticks are done and installed, just have to do the planetary shifter now and then a little sheet metal work and some shift boot installation. Front shaft still fits, rear shaft will have to be shortened. Also have to relocate the fuel filter and add some tube to the transmission crossmember.

 

Dayum, that sure is perty.

 

Looks great.
Some Rivnuts for the fabbed sheet metal plate and a metal ring for the soon to be new shift boot to insure a good seal and you're done.

How much do you need to shorten the rear DS?

 

Alternatively, I have a bag full of clip-nuts for #10 fine thread screws/bolts if you want some, Todd.

 

Haven't even measured for it yet. I just know it's gotta be shortened lol. I will probably measure and drop it off next week sometime to get done.

clip-nuts... I never even considered using those, they would probably work pretty good. I'll have to explore my options more as I get closer to closing up the shifters
