HomerTaco's big old bucket o’ bolts build

So do i



But dat list length doe

 

I was close. But then funds got tight. I need a list that long

 

Careful what you wish for.

 

Bolted the crawl box to the t-case this evening. Mainly to straighten up since I've got parts accumulating.



I'm going to mock up the triple stick so hopefully the install will go smoother.

 

So over my head. Best of luck. Will be watching

 

Mine too.

 

Here's the 1" body lift kit. For those interested: I'm following in another persons footprints with this part of my build - the BL will allow for more space to clock the t-case and keeps cutting of the cab structure to a minimum.



I'm going to have to do a minor modification to the front bumper with this but from my research the rear should be just fine.

 

PSUTaco?

Yes, we're trying to coordinate schedules this coming weekend to get some mods knocked out...

 

Coolio...bet your truck's gonna look even sweeter than it already does!

Matt

 

Necessary evil I'm afraid.

 

I suppose....just hope you don't have any wiring, brake lines, fuel lines, etc. that end up being to short or something silly.

First lifted tacoma that saw years ago had stock everything but with a body lift. It looked so silly. Hated them ever since.

You do realize that eventually, you will have to SAS.....

 

Its looks like its only a 1in hardly noticeably. My guess is within 3yrs. It will be SASed

 

SAS is way beyond my capability...

 

Mmm, Beck's

So shiny! How much longer already?

 

With my schedule I'll be happy to have the thing in before fall.
Have to stop by the stealership and get the prerunner dash insert for the 4x4 switch delete. Still need front driveshaft and crawlbox mount...

 

Moar Beck's = moar sooner. Lol

 

So a few more things have come together:

Got the UCA's back from Dad with the new SS Uniballs pressed:



The old ones had seen better days:



My buddy Jerry (loosenut) did an awesome job throwing some gussets on these LCA's for me:



These will go to Dad to press in new ball joints and bushings.

Also Mojo (My50cal) stopped by this weekend with a spare set of spindles for me! I've had the TC gusset kit from XXXX forever... Going to pay a visit to our friend PSU Taco85 & have him weld these suckers up.

 

Note:
need seals - national p/n 710573 for spindle rebuild w/ Kevin's hubs.
