Will's 2000 Reg Cab

For sure! I haven't met up with any local Toyota owners since I've owned it and I would love to.

Truck went in the shop tonight to have a bed rack built. Pretty psyched!

 

Doing bed rack things with my friends.

 

Looks awesome Will!Congrats man!

 

Picked up my truck from Creative Fabworks in Anaheim last night. They always surprise me by taking care of all the small stuff. Threw in the bed re-inforcements without even asking. Offered them extra $$ since it wasn't part of our original negotiation, but they said no. Super stoked on how it came out, and it makes me really happy to be able to support friends.

The amount of hardware used to anchor the cross rails shocked me, but i am not complaining. This thing is rock solid, and will probably outlive the truck. It's not painted because i haven't decided on light tabs and antenna mounts yet.

 

Sorry for the mediocre clip. HAven't fully trained my gf on filming things quite yet lol. Video doesn't show it very well, but the suspension is working really well.

 

Slo-mo version. The xj behind me is extremely fast, even with Fox 2.0's. Excuse my slow speed on this run, the 2.7 isn't happy in soft sand with these big tires lol

 

Make sure you watch in HD.

 

Your truck is coming out pretty sick! Nice work so far. I'm very impressed with your rear shock hoop install. Looks professionally done! From the vids it looks like it performs just as well too

 

Very nicely done. There's something so elegantly simple abut the regular cab trucks.
When you do get out and flex the rear a bit how close to the shock body do you get?

 

got any picks of your lower shock mounts?

 

I second this. After welding a couple up on mine I found there is limited real estate on the axle.

 

The real estate is SUPER limited down there. I'll snap some pictures after work for you.

 

Surprisingly, there's miles of space at the tire. It's the shock body to frame clearance that gets really tight. I'm at maybe 3/8" at ride height, and it gets hairy at full flex lol. But we bumped it with about an 1" of shock shaft left to keep the clearances ok. I'll try and get pictures of this.

 

Awesome single cab!

I'm also curious about tire clearance the rear shock. I would prefer to outboard them, but with wider tires, even with 3.25 backspacing, I've got like 1" clearance to the frame at full stuff.

 

Keep in mind that moving the shocks outboard somewhat limits your flex. The shock length becomes a limiting factor, as it's closer to the wheel hub.

 

That just makes room for long shocks! What length are you running? 10's?

 

Nice truck man, much love for the regular cabs.

 

I'm running 10's. I would honestly recommend 2.0x10's. The 2.5's were just a bitch to stuff in. Solo recommends an 8" or 10" shock, and you might even be able to get away with a 12" SAW, but check the extended and collapsed lengths. Mine are 2.5x10" Kings, and they're perfect

 

Thanks!
