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

curing in the garage now.

 

The more i look at the copper edition the more i like them. I emailed vin and he has a ser of 4 coppers that are blemished. I was going to buy them but they are a little too blemished for me. Just going to wait till march when he said they we be back in stock and order a full set of 5. The price of the blemished wheels vs new wasnt worth it

 

Love my Coppers

Good luck, hope you get them. GOnna be a mad rush for those haha

I know you switched to a 5.7. Even wider..hopefully you'll get it to fit. Body Lift isn't really an option for you now haha

 

How'd you go about paint them?

 

I know vin said they would not be in until march sometime but i have been checking their website 3 times a day. lol thats how bad i want them. body lift isn't going to happen, no way in hell, and the engine fits just fine, actually way better than i thought it would. If there is an issue with exhaust, which there doesn't appear that there will be, we will build custom headers or whatever is needed

 

i just used some spray paint off the shelf. cheap and easy to touch up if needed after some time. (or if i just want a new color someday)

 

yea you and about 100 other people haha be a mad scramble for those.

I know it looks good now. But the steering is a probably with the headers. I think you can get some slim rat rod headers though

 

straight do a straight header and dump it down lol

 

Big ass 32 gallon fuel cell has arrived

 

Gunna turbo this thing too?

 

Lol probably not, going from 190 to nearly 400 will be plenty for now

 

Fuel cell fits perfectly

 

Motor mounts are done! trans mount is done and got the radiator finished up and the mount for the other 2 fans.

Got all new gaskets for the 5.7 so there is a possibility we will put the actual motor in this weekend

 

Real curious how the wiring is going to work. Good luck brother!

 

Dig the bumper, is it welded or bolted on, if so I'd like to see how you bolted it on. Thanks!

 

Thanks, It is bolted on. It bolts on in the stock locations 2 in front, 2 on either side, and 2 up from the bottom each side. And the fenders bolt to it as well.

 

Looks very well made

 

Got all the fans finished up in the rear. Looks so sick

 

Notched the front crossmember a little bit just dor some extra clearence.
