Ill wire them tomorrow

 

So you ended up cutting out the valance?

 

Yea I did

 

Looks nice. Wish we could ditch our front plates man...

 

Me too mines hangs really low but swings back flat against my skid plate. I really like how it turned out can't wait to see it lit up.

 

The sun has now been built into the front if your rig....

 

Eibach springs in, ARB bumper will be in this afternoon, now to wait on the bilsteins....

 

Post pics when done I wanna see what effect the arb has on that setup. What's # eibachs did you get #620?

 

Gotcha I will post them when it is all done. Hopefully I will be installing the new struts same day as bumper.

 

And yeah I believe they are the 620s bought them from straight from toytec. Got the bilsteins from dsm

 

sorry i missed this at first, had to go back through few pages to catch up lol.

4 of the 6 cab mounts were within 1" of bolting in so i had to move them on frame (not very hard, cut rivets-move it-drill holes-bolt them on) and the other 2 I just fabbed up new ones from 3x4 box steel and welded to frame. The bed wasnt too hard but ended up needing a small body lift to just be correct height and line up with cab since the blazer frame is flatter in rear then a pickup. Wheelbase was almost spot on as 72 blazer is 103.5 and reg cab tacoma is 103.3 I just elected to run rear centered in fender and push front axle forward that .2 to get more tire clearance. I had maybe 2 months of weekend work in doing swap.(alone most of time)

on a extra/double cab you might be able to use a 73-87 shortbed frame since I think you have a 121.9" wheelbase and they are 117.5 but can be stretched super easy with no frame cutting just using different springs and/or mounts. i would take the opportunity to make it a double cab long bed and go with a long bed frame. ( 127" wb in 72 or 73-87 135.5")

 

I didn't know you had a Bamf light mount Joe....

 

That i do got it right when it switched to bamf

 

Thats awesome. Small world.

 

I think the suns coming out
