Man, that's a nice truck you're building. I'm curious about how much horsepower that S/C gives you compared to stock. Have you got it on the dyno before?

 

Thanks. Have not got it on the dyno, but i have driven quite a few tacomas for my work. The s/c def wakes the truck up. I'm still planning on getting urd 7th injector kit and the 2.2 pulley, I'm pretty sure 7th kit adds 40-50hp?

 

Sweet truck! I'm looking into getting some headers. Was there much of a difference once installed, How much of a pain was the install, did they leak? its rather JBA's or D.T's and I'm wonering if the D.T's are worth the few hundred more dollars.

 

Only reason I got jba's is b/c they were a good deal, I wanted the trd ones. My buddy had a 04 Tacoma with 3.4 an trd headers an spin tech muffler it sounded sic imo. The install wasn't as bad as my ranger, but was a little tricky. An no they don't leak, I personally haven't come across a set of Doug thorley headers only for 2nd gen

 

Got a center console/arm rest, for a single cab so a lil off but better than nothin. Will be keepin a eye out for the correct one






Got this fuse cover as well, stoked on both of these







On a side note I found this pic of the rear shock setup I want to run, looks like a 2.5 in there. Solo says to run a 2.0x10" with that kit. I really want a bypass back there, but a 2.0x10" bypass (prefer saw) is hard to come by. Prob just try an get a saw 2.5x10" bypass with remote resi, an hopefully everything clears.



Also got the total chaos weld on spindle gussets,tower gussets an steering rack bushing kit. Just need to get it all on there

 

I have never seen this style of arm rest before. What year is this out of?

 

Came out of a 96 also, but was out of a single cab

 

Got a new bumper pretty stoked how it came out








Also got some sweet lil remote resi shocks I think there 2.0's an I think mabey bilstien. But either way stoked there rebuildable an have resi










An a lil teaser pic will have more/better updates in couple weeks when I get payed

 

Been a little while since last update, haven't done much but got some little things done



Got these clear blinkers






Also got some oem reman cv axels 100x better than napa ones no bind, an way less drag on truck

Got a rugged radio 25w race radio, super cool how physically small this unit is, will be perfect for the trips I'm trim to do


Also dropped front coil preload to 1.75" seems to be much better, hopefully helps driveline too

 

Got my limit straps an my total chaos spindle gussets on today super stoked!!! Just gotta figure a rack setup for my roof top tent.

 

Got a tent a lil while back, finally got a rack made for it



Huge thanks to Jeff at jta metalworks


Great price,Got the job done fast so I'm stoked

What's your lift specs in the front? You have a body lift?

 

On the coils I ran em for a while at 2.5" preload, then 2.0" , most recent 1.75".


Has 3" body lift

 

Went shootin yesterday out off the 74, wanted to hit the truck trail from 74 to de luz, but I haven't hit the norther section, so we only hit the de luz section was still supper fun

Lowered preload to 1.5" the the other weeken, both inner cv's blew. Ordered some off-road solutions high angel cv boots on Friday.Hopefully those do the trick when they show up.


Painted my rtt rack





And got this snorkel in a trade for a scx10 rc crawler that needed couple things






Next on my list is a awning for passenger side and for the rear. I also want to do a sweet storage box on a swinger, an a fuel storage. I found these two but the one is 500, an the fuel storage is 300, tryin to find something similar but for a reasonable price.












Other than that my list consist of urd 7th injector kit/2.2 pulley,aem water meth kit and a wideband air fuel gauge

 

Got my cv boots on Thursday, an threw them on today, was a lil bit of a bitch, but not to bad. Hopefully these last

 

Did you need to drain the diff? Or is there inner seals to keep the fluid in when you pull the cv?

 

No a lil bit comes out, I just let it drain from were cv goes in. An just top off after done working on truck
