Delta's 2002 Tacoma 4WD Build and BS

Mine was $35 but i did not get it through a metal supplier.

 

Very very impressed with the bends. Nice work!

 

I need to do it too, plus belly skid. Then sell mine

 

Hey @Delta00 whered you get your mesh from?

And how thick do you think it is?

 

Thanks, I'm very happy with them. My cheap angle grinder broke so I'm going to get another one tomorrow and hopefully have everything in place.

I ordered it from HomerTaco. I don't know how thick it is but I'm sure he does.

 

Damn! He doesn't make 98-00 grilles, trying to get a light bar behind my grille and it's like a 1/2" too big. I was gonna do a whole new mesh but Fiolofab mounts his on the back of the grille. Just trying to find other options. Thanks tho I'll ask homer and see what he thinks

 

I'm sure he would sell a sheet of it. I did see some satoshi material at a metal supplier though. Not a home depot, an actually sheet metal one

 

Yeah I just PM'd him, for how I want it I'd have to bend the mesh so I hope there's a way to do it. If not I'll mount the light bar to the bumper

 

What size is the bar?

 

20" and it doesn't fit my current setup by like half an inch haha

 

for that skid plate!

 

Skids looking good! Gonna fab up mounts to use the stock crossmember location?

 

Sorry just saw this yeah, stock crossmemeber.


Also, spending $350 on maintenance rather than mods isn't as fun. LBJ and timing belt / pump soon.

 

I'm getting the timing belt and pump done on my truck on Wednesday. 40k miles overdue unless the previous owner had it done and it didnt go on the carfax

 

Doing it yourself? I've heard them go for a long time past the 90k reccomended replacement haha.

 

I feel ya. I recently spent like $230 on replacing the seals and bearing in my rear axle.

Skid look good as well. I'm probably going to be lazy about and just by one from Eric at Relentless lol Also take at look at these http://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/catalog/XMEMKIT.html You might want to use them for your belly skid, if you make one at all.

 

Nope! I don't have the tools to do it myself or the knowledge to fix whatever else i mess up in the process

 

Saved, im not sure if ill do a belly but you never know. I want to try making a bed rack next.....

Nice, ill see how it goes when I attempt mine. Hopefully its not to bad.

 

You're going to need a tube bender for that or just make it out of square tube... I'll be judging lel

 

Then youre going to have to judge hah, i want to make a box rocket replica.. What thickness do you think?
