My68ur8's Build

i like that set up nice & clean where ya get those ammo cans & did i hear swing out tire carrier???

 

more like swing up. Its going to be pretty trick if it all works out.

I got the ammo cans from an army surplus site... Its the same one that everyone gets the d-rings from that fit the bed bolts. they were $12 a can i believe, and I shot them with bedliner in a can ( rustoleum).

I will shoot this with the same stuff


I will likely mock it up with one of my current tires, I need to get a full size spare, but the tire has been backordered on tirerack for months ( I get a good deal through TR, so I have to wait). I plan to move up to 35" red labels when these are worn out, so I will make sure this can handle it.

I will paint it like it is, and then add the tire portion later i think. I need to piece together the hardware and bracketry for it.

Bed Bar phase one all painted up ( Rustoleum Spray Bedliner)



A shot at my welding job ( not to bad for not welding in over 4 years)



I got it in the truck today. Hi lift mount idea worked out great. The foot is in one of the ammo cans to let me tuck it all really close to the front of the bed



The cheapo fog lights will have to go ( 10 bucks from HF) i think they will just break off if I hit them with anything lol.



and a shot to show how it sit up to the front of the bed.



I am waiting on my contura bed light switch to get here and I will wire them up.

Phase II will be a swing up tire carrier and a matching spare (if I can find one)

I am super happy with the out come

random question! How'd you get the white streak on the top of your headlights? thanks!

Adam

 

You must be new here lol. Welcome! If you search on ebay for tacoma eyelids you should be able to find a pair.

 

yep

Ebay eyelids - I think they were 40 bucks or so

Justin

 

Justin, your truck is SICK! I cant wait to see it in person. I did not plan on mod'ing my truck but you are making me really want to.

We need to meet up over at ur place and I can show you my new to me Taco

 

hey whats up fellas name is brian im hoping maybe yall could help me out on some knowledge!!! ive just recently lifted my 2010 tacoma did a 6 inch fabtech basic kit!! i know i should have done the better one but i didnt. my question is did i just screw myself doing this and putting 35s on it without regearing? i dont have a sticking problem yet in 4th on the interstate! if i did screw myself is there anything i can do besides regearing and super charging my truck to get a little more power and keep my tranny safe, i do have a heavy foot and im in the woods alot! im working wiht little $$$ any help would be very nice!!! also these leaves with the basci fab 6 dont seem like much i have massive rubbing on the front end. sorry for the long post. thanks

 

Hey now!!!!! I have a 6" Fabtech!!

I have 35's and didn't regear.

You are all good man!

You WILL need to trim a bit and do the Cab Mount Chop.

 

This is a good build to read for the lift you have also come check in HERE.

Making room for the front tires should be easy, save monies for new leafs and regear....

 

You didnt screw yourself with the 35s, I was on the fence between 33s and 35s when I ordered my tires. I plan to run 35s when I need new tires ( at 4K a year it will take a while ), and I plan to regear.

I have more then enough power to push them, but I want to stay in the powerband for daily driving.

As for rubbing, trimming is about your only option with the basic kit. Trim the fender flares and do the cab mount chop. I had a little rubbing at full lock with my 33s, but I only have a little plastic trimmed from the fender flares

I only used the front drop brackets from the FT kit. I pieced the rest together.

if you save the coin and get the Icons, you can adjust them and they ride like butter, especially in the sand..

 

hey justin im sorry for the dumb question but it says ur a vendor. what do you "vend"? just for my own common knowledge in case i need to hit you up! =)

 

ook cool well thanks for yalls help!! i do plan on getting the icons here soon. i have done some trimming its not that bad now besides the left side for some reason it rubs way more then the passenger side i just dont want to mess these very expensive tires up lol. what do you mean by the " cab mount chop"??

and yes this does seem like a good subscrip to be on, your build is awesome i would looove to s/c my truck gotta love the sound of them bad boys. also interested in that trac bar being that it is only one do you lose any flex with it?

 

Justin used to sell sub boxes for the second gen access cabs and other interior stuff but hasn't for a couple years now

 

Heres my CHOP:

 

nice ima have to jump on that this weekend if i dont lose power at my shop, im ready to go play but not with that rubbing its stupid annouying

 

go thru this thread 1st:

http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/ba...n/192527-b-m-f-cmc-plates-cab-mount-chop.html

the 1st few pics on 1st page explains ALOT!

 

SubXclosures was me. It is still listed on the site, but I have not been active for almost 2 years

Justin

 

I have not done it on my truck, but plan to do so when I got to 35s.

I also plan to have the Icons rebuilt to extended travel with Resis and go to a uniball upper CA.

I will leave it that way while its still fairly new, until its my toy and I can design my own front setup ( I want to SA it and 3 link with 37s and a low stance)



Justin

 

The trac bar is designed to not limit flex. It has an high angle rod end at the front mount and being center mounted, it pivots only.

I have a ton of droop, so I am a little curious how it will do when I pick the truck up on the way so see if it limits that
