2. make truck run

3. make truck run

4. make truck run

HoosierTacoma08 · 03-26-2009, 10:00 AM

UPDATE!

Got my HD Dakar's and N-182 Shocks installed! WOO HOO! The beast is MEGA raked right now.

Took about 6 1/2 hours total install time. Not too bad in my opinion for someone who is green when it comes to wrenchin'. Glad I did it myself though, I learned a lot and saved some bucks!

886's and Diff Drop coming soon!

no one is ready to follow you! I have my doubts about even being able to follow some of your crazy lines.

My only advantage is I am locked in order to get out of the mud traps you seem to fall in.

95toyotan · 03-26-2009, 05:51 PM

Lookin good, keep up the good work!

HoosierTacoma08 · 04-04-2009, 09:43 PM

Another Update!

886's and Diff Drop installed, Sway Bar removed.

Special thanks goes to Rich Freeman of "FREEMAN OFF-ROAD" Liberty, IN.

He was the brains of the install, I just assisted and took notes.

NwiTACO...you rolling with or without the sway bar? If without, how do you like it? So far I'm not sold on it yet, but I plan on giving it some time.

slander · 04-05-2009, 09:36 AM

Mods completed:
OME 882s up front
8 leaf deavers out back withsome bilsteins
255/85/16 bfg muds
allpro f/r bumpers and skids
Warn M8000
trail gear sliders
tundra brakes
inchworm/marlin 4.7 crawl box

Future mods:
Wyatt style tube bed/cage, basically the rear end my truck will be tube with removable bed sides and rear bumper for wheeling. This is still my DD so i need something to keep the heat off and prvent me from dying in an offroad roll or flop

Get a crossmember made up for the crawl box (probibly have 4xinnovations handle that)

Cut off my welded on sliders off and get the frame checked out by toyota,

buy some bolt on sliders start on above bed

Possibly front fiberglass fenders depending on how the rear bed looks

35s maybe when i need new tires (probibly next year)

Way down the road, SAS with a waggy axle (have the axle and evreything just need to do it)

Overall im extremly happy with my truck as it sits now, its more capable than i could have ever imagined with the size it is!

Looking good! I'm still running the sway bar, but will be ditching it when I install the 'Hoes. I'll let you know what I think.

Thanks NWI! I may be throwing it back on soon, drove to Indy in the wind today, and at 70+ she got a little squirrely on me.

Just had an alignment this morning so I know it had to be the sway bar.

Added some of my recent updates to my list.

New parts not listed are a passenger tail light and complete bedside after hitting a pole this winter. Got ran off the road. It was either a head on with a flying Suburban or the ditch and pole.

Also got a new grill, headlamp and had the roof painted after some farmboy decided to shoot his snow blower (FROM HIS GRAVEL DRIVE) across the road.

It's been a hard couple months with the Taco
