allenfab's 95 Tacoma build

I only have one ride on it, but its holding up fine at least haha. Every time I even drive this thing it seems like something goes wrong or goes out/breaks, so not much seat time with it.

I can however say that I regret mounting it so far to the passenger side. When torque is applied, it lifts the passenger side of the truck up a noticeable amount. It needs to be mounted closer to the center of the truck, but that can be difficult because of packaging issues and all the other shit in the way under the truck. I built a traction bar and mounted it in the exact same location on my tundra, but it had much stiffer springs that helped combat the torquing of the suspension/frame so it wasn't noticeable.

I'm going to build another one, or at least mount mine closer to center and I will get back to you on the last part of the question lol. I don't want to build something for someone that I don't really like how it performs in the first place.

 

Right on... I gotcha.

When you get it dialed in, let me know.

Thanks.

 

Got the 2 limit straps put on today

 

Hardrock?

 

Just the local mud hole, Lakeland motor sports park

 

Ah, okay. It looked kinda like the top of that rock garden area up at the front of Hardrock by the motocross track.

 

Cleaned up the wiring quite a bit by utilizing the barrier strips from my old attempt at a fuse/relay panel. This should work out perfect and so far I highly recommend the bussman setup. (You can see how much wire was removed in the background and compared to the pic in the previous post above)

 

The bussman is installed and wired in (with what accessories I have so far). This thing is awesome! It's the perfect size for under the hood since space is very limited. Glad I ended up going this route instead of the homemade junk I had originally. Now to just get the rest of electronics and accessories in and hooked up...

 

Nice work.

Where did you get the washer fluid tank?

Thanks.

 

That's just the stock tank

 

Haha, I remember that question (and that answer).

 

Haha, I forgot you asked as well. Def a better location than in the wheel well like yalls later models

 

Finally got a chance to get this thing on a loading dock to flex it out.

The rear flexes a little better than I expected with the traction bar and 63s. The front flexed great, with the exception of the tire hitting the bumper with an inch of up travel on the coilover still to go. That will be a simple fix though.

It was getting dark when taking the pics so I tried to brighten them up... Oh well.

 

is that rear drive shock maxed out?

 

I didnt really check, but it seemed fine

 

Looks like it has more to go. Just asking cause I have the same ones.

 

Pre-Citrus checklist is getting shorter. I've got my CB and antenna mounted and all hooked up, new 12v outlet wired up, and reverse lights mounted, but not yet wired up. Still need to trim the front bumper so the tires don't rub, tune my CB, and try and run my intake higher up into the fender.

 

What's up with the traction bar? Working good?
Why is it outside of the muffler?

All looks killer!
