Kit's Build Up

dude this is an amazing build... i cant wait till i finish school so i could have the doe to do this....

 

I read the thread... numerous times.

and he already has the fiberglass bedsides. We were saying until hes fully done with the back, Is he going to drive around bedless or with something to keep the road dust (etc) to a minimum

 

that prerunner bar is fucking sweeeeet, if you dont mind me asking who built it and how much did it run you?? also what size are those lights on your bumper they look so good!

 

going with Engage? or what

 

Engage!!!! All the way!

 

No bed at all. yes with fiberglass, cool thing is Im going to lay sheet metal down and have a 4'x4' area of open space for and ice chest, tool box, or extra gas. By moving my tires way back I actually have more room than I did before. hopefully I dont get hassled by the fuzz, not to worried about it.

started the cage today, let me just tell you, its gunna be sweeet.
Im not going to post up any more pics untill the cage is done, dont want to spoil it for you guys, so hopefully I get it done by this weekend and get to test out the new suspension.

 

Kragen HIDS!! haha $99 a pop!

going to get Hella 4000's and convert them to HID when I get some $$

 

comon!! Im in school right now too! haha

 

hell yeah, gotta rep it out in AL

haha my great aunt lives in Mobile

 

Im gonna put AL back on the map!!!

Mobile is about 4-5 hours away from Auburn.

 

sweeeet.

when are you gunna get a kit?

 

hopefully the first of the year.... or soon before my birthday

 

damn dude for real...?? i guess i gotta be happy with what i got haha... not to mention im not as mechanically inclined as ya... and this is my everyday truck and im not gonna beat it up as much as u haha... but i give u mad props for your build bro... im jealous but im still happy with the taco i got... haha

 

this is my DD right now
hopefully I build it good enough to bash and drive home

although its first run out I might tow it on a flat bed, if I dont mount the fiberglasss

 

good progress today.
but no more pics untill its fully built.

Main tubes, rear bumper, and tire carrier welded up and done. Just need a couple cross members, and shock mounts now
Probably wont get to work on it tomorrow, have school all day.

 

Sounds Awesome!!! Cant wait to see it!!!

 

then skipp school to work on ur truck

 

i wish..

 

If he is using the previous gen tundra axle, the track is 64.9", the stock tacoma rear track (for his model) is: 63.4"

So switching to the tundra rear axle will give him a 1.5" increase in rear track.

Im waiting for a good deal on the 07+ tundra rear axle. Those are 67.9", and when coupled with two spidertrax spacers which add a total of 3", the rear will end up being 70.9".

The stock tacoma front end is 63" in track. Add 8" to that (or even 8.5") with the Engage front end and you'll have 71" of total front track.

EDIT: Kit, what hubs are you using on the tundra rear? cuz, IIRC, the tundra rear is 5-lug. How are you swapping the hubs out?

Also where did you get your rear axle and how much did you pay for it?

 

Dude if you find a 07+ axle, please Dont use wheel spacers!! theres no point!
My truck is 89" outside tire to outside tire.
Tundra is not 5 lug, unless they changed this 07+, but i Highly doubt they would 5 lug a full size truck.
So same 6 on 5.5 bolt pattern as my tacoma.

Theres a place around the shop that I bought it from.
