Calamity tacos build thread that was for a tacoma but now is for a ford! crazy times we are in!

Looks fine lol

 

Small goals on the car. If driving it like you did in the old times gave you a big grin it’ll be worth getting it there again. Just small steps.

 

Yeah but it’ll be awesome. You should do it.

 

it did ya but at the same time i get that and more from my bikes... so i just havent had the want to really mess with it

it really would be... there is a dude selling everything i would need for 900 but the shocks need rebuilt and idk how much that would run to have done since i cant really do that at home without the nitrogen to refill it.



the other part is putting raptor suspension i feel it would kinda ruin the truck being more of a truck lol

 

That sounds like a steal to me

 

it honestly is... minus the upper control arms and lowers most likely needing new ball joints as well plus the shocks being rebuilt.

but the real thing is do i need it? i could just run fox 2.0s and it would be more then enough for me

 

IIRC Fox says the 2.0s are about $100 a shock to rebuild

 

the gen 1 raptors are fox 2.5s idk if it would be the same or not but since it would be all 4 thats 400 bucks plus what ever shipping would be lol


it would be sick to have raptor suspension but dont think i really need it lol

 

I'd just stick with 2.0s for a DD or 2.5s if you wanna get something a little beefier. For me the 2.0s have been nice.

 

ya all my truck is a daily and explore and tow things

 

Then the 2.0s should work well for you too

 

yaaa just would be cool to do a raptor swap haha but it also needs the glass fenders or oem raptor fenders and parts so a lot of monies lol and id rather buy another bike haha

 

2.0 is good but 2.5 is better!

or go real crazy and get 3.0s!

 

haha no lie 2.5s are better i loved the ones i had on my taco years ago

 

I hear that, the bike is the same for me but multiple toys is more enjoyable too. My Z hasn’t gotten much love due to all the money I’m spending on my house but it will. Same with the trucks. I even want to add another bike to do longer rides. Mines gets uncomfortable after a couple hours big time.

 

That's why I got two bikes lol the gf asked me the other day if she could get a small pickup like an old ranger or taco standard cab or access cab to Build a truck lol. So that's another project haha

 

You are gonna need a bigger garage for all these vehicles

 

Haha I got a driveway. I do want to add a two car garage in the yard but pricey so hasn't been done lol

 

Ice and a lot of snow! These pics start from when the ice first started coming down Saturday night to today of clearing part of the driveway. Had to help family and my almost 90 year old grandmother (she said she can't just sit inside and rot so was out and shoveling her drive haha) shovel driveways so didn't get to much done on our driveway. Helped a good amount of people get unstuck and get back moving on about while messing about in the snow or helping family. Time to go back to work tomorrow since we got Monday off lol.
