Fire's Toy

now about those bumpers..... haha

 

i'm in the process of painting the FJ rear i made up right now, then i need to try and get a donor truck in here to mock up the bolt on rear. however if you want a wrap around that has already been designed.

 

no rap around for me if it requires cutting the back end...but i would be your donor if you drive to pa....haha

 

would be kinda rough to haul all my fabrication gear up there....

 

I'll come up for the weekend and let you use my truck for a bumper.

 

being the gueni pig has its perks but its not quite a totally free bumper, but it does have its perks. the bank account dosnt quite allow "giving" away a bumper..

 

You would have a set of helping hands also. No painting necessary.

What kind of "discount"?

 

i've actually already got somebody planned for mock up, but if that dosnt work out i'll let you know.

 

Youre truck puts Fords, Dodges and Chevys to shame. I love your truck!!!! I like how you managed to get a organized line of switches for everything.

 

Hey fire,

I have the UWS low profile toolbox, and I am looking to buy the pre-runner tiregate. How much space would you say is between your tiregate and your toolbox? 1-2 feet?

 

well i got motivated to do something to my truck today, so i started on my rear shackle flip i've been talking about forever. got the passenger side done today and will complete the drivers side tomm. just thought i'd tease ya'll a little before the pictures.

 

just noticed your post, i'll check on that tomm. and let ya know... sorry for the delay.

 

Sah Weet!!!!!!!!

 

Is there any update on rear bolt on bumper for the taco?

I'd like to see you design style sometime.

 

Very nice truck.

 

i should be starting on the prototype next week.. i'll keep ya posted...

will post pics tomm. of the shackle flip.. was getting dark when i was finishing it up.

 

Cool, cant wait for the updates.

 

well heres acouple shots of the completed shackle flip. basically i designed a new hanger for the frame and reused the factory shackle, this keeps its simple however provides a means to get the rear spring hanger out of the dirt...





it does seem to provide around 1/2" of lift due to the new hanger, and seems as though it provides atleast 1 1/2" more droop, however unless you change the rear shocks or make new mounts they are the limiting factor in droop.

 

^ Thats badass, Nice work

 

thanks.. anyone that may be interested in a set of these let me know. havn't decided if i'm gonna make these a production thing or not.
