Hey

 

so many questions but awesome to see all this work being done yourself.

 

Damn! That got aggressive. I dig it.

 

KICKASS!

 

What was the reason for engine removal? Replacement or had some work done? Jealous of all your available workshop space

 

That's a damn shame, and could have been a number of factors that played a role but have heard that steep angles and Tacomas do not get along. How was the engine swap? Also what welder are you using?

 

Looking good, can’t wait to see the completed project.

 

very nice!! how's the RTT feel? deployment? take down? actual comfort?

 

The truck is awesome but the tracked vehicles in that shop are freaking amazing. I don't see stuff like that very often!

Which Lincoln welder are you using? 140 amp mig?

 

Bro. Awesome. Nothing like doing it yourself. What did you had to get different to swap your front? From the 05 front to 2012?

 

Nice work on the rack! The joints are pretty clever too. I like the idea to boxed it in at the bends to give you a flat surface to weld too. Trying to avoid doing notches, I guess? What tube dimensions? Did you bend it yourself?

 

I ordered Headlights, Grill, under headlight pieces and hood. If you don't have or are not planning on getting an aftermarket bumper you'll need to buy a couple more brackets and buy the actual bumper and to me its cheaper to buy a nice aftermarket one! And thank you for the compliments!

 

Awesome build. Can't wait to see what's next.

 

Got some new shocks off a 2016 taco and put a 2-3" level lift! rides really nice and doesn't look too bad!!

 

Sweet! I didn't realise how much I disliked having a silver sport model with the hood scoop till I got a black model with no scoop. It's really nice for cutting down glare. Nice touch.

 

My plastic insert for my hood scoop finally showed up! And did some soldering on my instrument cluster, I think it looks good all blue!

 

That bedrack is sweet! I've been toying with the idea of making my own, but unfortunately I'm not exactly well practiced in welding.

I like the blue instrument lighting, reminds me of my old VW!

 

Looking good!!

 

So started and almost finished a roof rack for the tacoma, it should look bad ass when its done, got a 20" light bar going in the front plate and maybe a couple pod light facing out. Gonna bed line it and she'll match the bed rack nicely! Will be nice for little things to strap to the roof when I go camping, but the main reason i made it is to help make the tent more arrow dynamic and help my fuel milage. Let me Know what you guys think and stay tuned for the final product, should be done by the end of the week!

 

Got most of the rack done just need to clean up a bit and paint it!
