NOW A FULL PART OUT-LS/4l80, linked, caged/full back half Tacoma prerunner

Been awhile since I've posted in here, lots of truck stuff has happened. The ls1 that was in the truck had some headgasket issues/possibly burnt a piston. Decided to ditch it for a fresh new build and not junkyard stuff. 370 cubic inch 6.0 gen 3 LS built for boost, manley rods and pistons, all comp cam, springs, shaft rockers etc, with a lsa supercharger on topthe engine made 650 hp and 580 lb ft of torque on the engine dyno with no blower. Getting real close to having this setup dont and getting tuned in a couple weeks. Also ordered a set of bypasses back in November from accutune and still waiting on those. I post a lot more on my Instagram @lsa_tacoma

 

the LSA engine setup is done and tuned, makes great reliable power. my next goal is to put bypasses up front and in the rear and get the suspension dialed in better. I ordered some custom bypasses from Accutune Offroad late November, was told a few weeks, then march, now being told June. Guess I'll make these smooth bodys work for the time being.

well after going on around 9 months of waiting, my bypasses from accutune finally showed up. They work really well with the deavers but After waiting so long I've decided to link the truck later in the year. going to cut the backend off right behind the cab and build a tube back half. time to start gathering more parts to get ready.

 

Looks awesome though. You sure you want to chop it in half?

And here I thought 8 weeks for my order from those guys was ridiculous...

Mine was just control arms that come from someone else. Not like it even has any tuning on their end for mine.

 

My wait time went from 3 weeks to 3 months to 6 months and all the way to 9 months apparently it takes fox that long to build shocks...

 

I would of canceled my order and went with Kings

 

Well I finally broke down and decided to move forward with linking the truck. chopped all the old cage out and half-ass mocking up where the shocks and links need to sit. will be slow progress but super excited to get going with it!

 

Lowers are tacked, floor is cut out, will be cutting the back of the cab out as well, going to be ordering the new housing soon and start throwing tubes at it

 

Will you sell me this when you’re done that would be great thanks!

 

Made a ton of progress. Ran out of tubes lol. Time to order a few more sticks and throw some more at it. New housing, fuel cell, and shocks are on the way, also need to order seats. Old housing and deaver h70 springs are for sale.

 

making very good progress! still a lot of work ahead

 

Your truck needs a 2.0 Subaru motor and we can swap that LS into my FRS. I don't live that far away.

You're doing to nice work on that truck.

 

thank you! its coming along very well. I think ill have to keep my engine aswell, sorry

 

Backhalf is looking great. Do you have a laser table or did you have that cut out?
Whats your plans for the back of the cab, why did it need to go away?

 

I have cut and notched everything myself. Cab got cut out because the links hit everything. Plus its making it alot easier to get tubes where i want. Just going to sheetmetal it back in when all done.

 

what size tube?

 

everything is 1.5" .120 wall chromoly

 

Are you going to get custom glass made for the back window or how does that work with the tubes going thru there? Badass build, I am gonna have to go back and read this one from the start

 

Going with a plexiglass window
