Long Travel REBUILD - 2001 4x4 Tacoma

Go with the Deaver E30's for the rear. F55s suck so bad, and the F67s will only hold up for a little before they sag too low.

 

That's the plan now. I had a set of f67s lined up to buy but I talked to Jason and he pretty much said the same thing. I plan on ordering the e30s sometime this week.

 

Ordered some for my cousin its been 6ish weeks now hopefully soon. lol

 

Update: Trans needs a full rebuild. she's been sitting for 2 or 3 weeks now.

 

Ordered some bedsides from Glassworks and got my tranny dropped yesterday. Slowly chipping away at my list, hoping to have my back half completed within the next few months.

 

Automatic tranny problems....... Lol

 

Was thinking about doing a 5 speed swap, but turns out I just needed a torque converter and a new oil pump. Replaced all seals and put in a new torque converter/oil pump and got it bolted back up yesterday. Cost me $400 rather than $3,000 from any shop in my area. Now I get to spend money on fun shit again.

 

I have a spare torque converter I could have given you for free lol

 

Is it oem? I'll still take it if you don't mind. I bought a reman that I don't really trust that much.

 

I have no clue it came with the motor I bought. It's yours if you want it but it's in Santa barbara

 

I'll hit you up if I'm ever close. I'm down near Barstow but I go up there for work and stuff occasionally. Thanks man.

 

I live in San Diego currently. When I go back to visit I can grab it for you.

 

Another peice of the puzzle. Glassworks 7 inch bedsides. Things are stupid wide but I'm hoping with the tundra axle and 35s it'll fill in decently.

 

They would have cleared with the smaller width ones
Think mine are 3.5 lol

 

They're huge.. Oh well though too late now.  they don't really look goofy on the truck, just in that picture because they're sitting up on the side of the bed.

 

Update: I've finally built myself a new bumper and mounted some good ol HIDs. Still no progress on the back half, but hoping to finish my parts list soon. I've also relocated my battery to the bed using 1/0 AWG and put a new system in the truck. 1200 watt Kicker amp and a 12 inch Memphis M6. still waiting to install a fuse block and build a little distribution panel to clean up my wiring in the front.

 

Just gonna around here until I decide whether or not to long travel my truck

 

Found some snow today up in Big Bear. Toyos didn't do too bad in the snow. One of my HIDs fell off and had my HID bulb on my headlight go out, but other than that it went well.

 

Was playing in big bear yesterday too

 

Put on a 42" curved led bar on today as well as swapped out my HIDs for a 30 inch. I'm hoping the whistle on the 42 doesn't drive me crazy. I need opinions. Should I keep the 30"? Or go back to the HIDs???
