Mortuusangelus' '04 Taco Build

I haven't gotten around to actually naming it yet... suggestions appreciated.



ProComp Rockcrawler rims, 16x8s, courtesy of Wheelers.


And what is going in it.. ScanGauge is in.. Also have a Cobra CB that I just bought, will get pics of that too.


CB is in...

looks like you got a good start on her. those are the saw's right?

 

I think they are the toytec coilovers, with bilstein shocks

nice truck man.

 

yea i read the bottom after i posted. just didnt edit it.. thanks for the heads up though.

 

Thanks. Just started a build thread too... gotta put that in the sig.. I need another job, this truck is worse than a girlfriend.

^^^ duuuhh.. ok time to go to bed. Long hours at work are frying my brain.

 

One more.. Rims are on.. finally got a decent day to take a picture and the camera dies right after this one. Stupid batteries.


The reason the picture looks a little washed out, the flash activated.. no idea why.

 

Here we go again. Just finished mounting the FireStick FS antenna for the CB. CB will be mounted by next weekend, have to fab up a bracket for the back of it to keep it from moving when/if I hit hard bumps



Mounting bracket.. well-nutted.


God damned rims are dirty... sigh


Passenger side leaf spring... um... WEAK!


Opinions? Figure I did manage to twist the tie rod... hard to tell about anything else when you're laying on your side uncomfortably.


Front shot.


Obligatory frontal. (Yeah I know that little plastic piece is missing.. stupid black ice.)

 

nice

 

Just came today from the UPS man...

Now, to just get 'em on!


Oh and for those curious to the part #. (This one being for a 1st gen Taco.)

 

Nice build. Did you get the lift on yet. We need some pics.

 

Holy crap, dude! You're goin' off! Looks good. I am still chasing down some bits and pieces before I put my 5-packs on. I need to get some OME 881s first.

 

Thanks and nope. Been in Chicago last week at a tech conference/training. Return only to find I'm just as broke as when I left... mother****er

 

O that sucks man. Me and eddie are goin to stoke moneday if you want to come along.

 

The start of the rear suspension replacement..


And how it sat after the 5-leaf packs were in..


Some flex.. with new rubber on it...

 

Sadly.. no more Taco.. I'm in the process of trying to get enough money together to get a ride period.. be nice if I could get another Toyota, that truck didn't let me down once.
