Operation Crash Bandicoot 4x4 Swapped 05' Tacoma

yeah the cold makes things a lot more difficult

 

It was one of those things you never want to do again. A nice heated shop is now on my list when i build my own home...

 

or you could just come to the best coast.....

 

nahhhh haha

 

Well i suppose its time for another update. Since i only had half the lift on in the rear i decided instead of going to a shop, to hit up another TW member in greenville in hopes of actually getting my truck back looking good again. So TheGoat generously allowed me to use his space and tools to get this done. Pics.





This part was soooo easy compared to last time, we didn't have nearly this much droop out of the axel last time and we literally grinder the nut off and the leaf pack separated over halfway done!




And she's back on the road lifted all around

Gonna take better pics later but this'll do.

Drivers side. i finally have a Rake again in the rear and thats with the bedrack and my RTT sitting on there, i can only imagine when it's not



Passenger side



And obligatory Suspension pics

rear setup (Chevy Leaf spring rebuild pack w/ Fox IFP 2.0 extended shocks (2"-3" of lift) )



Front(FOX IFP 2.0 Coilovers)



Will take measurements later on flat ground lol i've got pre lift measurements so I'm curious how much lift i got out the back.

 

That looks much better! Nice work. How does it ride now?

 

That over bestop rack is DOPE!

 

Siiiick. I can't wait to see these flex

 

damn man this build took off! truck looks great cam!

 

Rides like butter to me. And the best part NO VIBES. I dropped the truck into 2L and ran it up to 3.5k RPM to see what vibes I would get and I got none

Thanks man I had a good friend build it

Yeah I'm curious to see how much flex I get. Extended brake lines are next... Lol

Thanks man she's coming along. Almost ready for my trip to Canada now, just gotta get some more camping stuff and some storage containers(Rubbermaid action packers) and whatever deals happen to pop up along the way. She rides sooo nice now.

 

bought extended brake lines just in case to be safe.

61$ shipped

 

These just came in today..



2 24 Gallon Action packers.



In the bed. Looks perfect and fills the space there very well. Now to save funds for 2 48 gallons and I'm done with bed storage..

 

Looks good man, you've come along way from the custom lights on the bull bar mod...

 

Yeah.. lol went from that to retros and all sorts of expensive goodies... My poor checkings account haha.

Hows your build coming along, you got a thread for the T4R yet?

 

Cam wtf is going on in the back of your bed? I see random boxes, old wheels,
and other randomness, throw that shit away homie

 

He's a truck part and truck related items hoarder

No swaybar? Lift looks good.

Matt

 

Im trying to sell the wheels... the random box stuff will go into the new box and the other thing is my Annex,the changing room for my rtt... I'll need a box just for that bastard, it's huge..

 

What are the wheels? Got a guy here that is looking for steelies.

 

TRD off road wheels. The ones that come with the OR package. i got them for my pickup back home but i decided to stick with 15" wheels so i don't need these anymore.

 

It coming together, I have a cb & antenna on the way. I'm going to lift and throw some sliders on this summer. I have a build thread but it's moving kinda slow...
