00 tacoma rebuild

7tacoma00 · 09-23-2009, 12:21 AM

I have slowly been fixing parts on my truck since I bought it last year, thought I would show the progress of it.

Brought my truck into Richer Racing a couple months to have the front end rebuilt... which slowly turned into rebuilding most of my truck

Purchased quite a few parts for my truck

Amoung the parts were a Richer Racing Tacoma kit
5.5 over
all chromo
all uniball/hiem
boxed lowers, tubed uppers, custom upright
custom machined hubs
wilwood superlites

start of engine cage

fixed and remounted fuel cell

Had to modify the Steering rack to accomodate the new suspension

truck stripped and getting tubework reworked

brock · 09-23-2009, 12:50 AM

7tacoma00 · 09-23-2009, 12:52 AM

Wow! Looks like an amazing start!

NoAfiliation666 · 09-23-2009, 07:56 PM

Hell ya kit looks awesome! What are the specs and travel numbers on the kit? What did they do to "modify" the steering?

mjp2 · 09-24-2009, 08:44 AM

Killer! Looking forward to watching the progress!

Thanks guys. Jonny had the stock rack cut and shortened, allowing for longer tie rod ends, thus reducing bumpsteer to zero. I'm hoping for 18.5" and being strapped at 17 or so

All this stuff is an all new design so its been awesome watching jonny go in and redesign and change things to accomadate my needs.

7tacoma00 · 10-07-2009, 11:21 PM

Front end is completed and will be on display at the off road expo this weekend, then going on my truck next week

Been looking at it just hard to drop that kind of money unless i was gonna race.

what headers you running?

brock · 10-08-2009, 09:54 AM

that kit is regoddamndiculous.

7tacoma00 · 10-08-2009, 10:27 AM

O I definatly have to agree, its been a very expensive journey, if my outside financials are in check in should be racing this bad boy mid next year. I'm running doug thorleys, easiest thing in the world to install when there is nothing in the way of the engine lol

**BB Motorsports** · 10-09-2009, 12:43 PM

right on, been thinking about headers for a while but money is an issue been looking at the jba headers just the stainless or i found some non carb legal ones for 100less but right now im not sure if my truck will pass smog or not with the fuel cell some say it will and some say it wont.

7tacoma00 · 10-09-2009, 01:02 PM

my fuel cell passed for smog last year, isnt it just a visual? headers are dam expensive lol

NightRyder · 10-09-2009, 06:32 PM

just make some headers!

I see that is a three speed shifter. Is there a turbo tranny hidden in this monster.

7tacoma00 · 10-12-2009, 08:28 AM

Ughh i wish! its just a stocker tranny (3spd w/overdrive) but Im going to be building the spare tranny I have of this with all the goodies from level10

7tacoma00 · 10-15-2009, 12:07 AM

the kit is on! finally!!

AZNPG · 10-15-2009, 01:20 AM

froader · 10-17-2009, 01:33 PM

I am definately interested in what was done with that steering rack.

well, the rack was milled down, everything inside of the rack was beefed up with a bigger piston and what ever else you can replace inside of the rack. and the tie rods were lengthened. it is a compeltete cstom rack with about 3 inches of the stock housing left over

resolute · 10-28-2009, 03:46 PM

just awesome

7tacoma00 · 11-09-2009, 11:53 PM

some great new progress on the truck

both sides are on

7tacoma00 · 11-17-2009, 11:27 PM
