My work owed me some money so I planned this extravagent suspension rebuild of my SFA 00 Taco. Well then my motor decided it wanted to take a dump and take the flexplate and starter with it, so heres the new plan in progress.
Well before the motor mishap, my truck was "pimped by D.O"- bobbed 13inches, Dana 44 SFA with waggy springs-14" 7100 bils-4.88, swapped in a TRD rear axle with Demello Offroad springs-10" 7100 res bils-4.88, paint is primered dark grey, Demello Offroad front and rear bumpers, sliders, welded windows (i guess payback is a bitch)...
Well now my fresh Jap t100 motor with rear dipstick and pan is in the process of getting slapped in, along with a new flexplate that was heat/cryo treated from Longfield Super Axles, my lifetime warrentied starter, new 2 row alum radiator (no mo plastic), and Rockstomper motor mounts-if they can straighten my frame mounts.
Since the tranny slipped twice out of 2nd gear, i decided to have my tranny overhauled (67k miles), and awaiting the return of my torque converter and valve body from Level 10 to help turn the larger tires, and give better low end torque for playing in the rocks. The valve body upgrade is to get rid of the slow car-like shifting (which sucks trying to rock to get unstuck in 2wd with an auto).
So while Im waiting for all of this to get done, Im trying to decide on (but we will see what happens as each mod requires a new mod to validate an even older mod) an elect fan, steel beadlocks , and tires (im pretty set on the 37" iroks).
From here the truck needs to get to Demello Offroad to put in custom length Deaver springs front and rear( :saw: attached to custom inboard front shackles, frenched rear spring mount, johnny joint rear shackle mount :welder: ), rotate my front knuckles, new 14" rear shocks (bils or MX-6).
On the side I need to get my front driveshaft still and lengthen my rear ds, cromo axles f/r, install my cable for my Rear TRD locker, install my fresh Ox Locker that just came in last week, and hopefully swap out my steering box for this used hydro-assist box and ram i got from a bud, once i rebuild it.
Shit at this rate I will never see a trail! Worst yet, i will have to keep borrowing my wifes Corolla to get to work...
I guess i thought about this too much while being over seas for over a year!
