    There is no "master fabricator" here. Just a hack with a welder. Here's a link to Paul's build. http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/1st-gen-builds/219504-ponethousands-build.html

    Glad you made it over here Paul. Hope you don't mind Steve that I pointed him here. I knew you'd be able to help him.

    The track width on the trailer is just barely wider than the Tacoma. I built it before I had the Tacoma and matched it to my Land Cruiser. The track width is the same as the Cruiser. The tongue length is as short as I was comfortable making it. If it was any shorter the trailer would...

    That's pretty much everything that's been done to the truck up to this point. I have really enjoyed this truck and it has been way more versatile than I thought it would be when I bought it. Its a great overlander and even with the IFS it can rock crawl pretty well. It's done all but the most...

    When the bedrack is on the truck I have a spot on the rack for my hilift and shovel. When the topper is on the truck I've been carrying the hilift and shovel on the roofrack on the topper.

    Too have the fridge back there meant I had to modify my bed rack. It was too short for the fridge to fit so I cut the legs off and welded on some new ones to raise the rack up to clear the fridge. I also recently picked up a Tepui RTT that is mounted to the bedrack. It was time to repaint...

    The next mod was a Fridge slide for the bed of the truck. I wasn't using the rear deck anymore and I have had a set of heavy duty slides for years and never used them. I fabbed up a simple frame and mounted my Engel Transit Lock to it and bolted it all to the slides. I mounted it in the bed...

    I added some Spidertrax 1.5" wheel spacers on all 4 corners. I was surprised at the difference in stability. Maybe it's all in my head but it seems to help. Before: After: Before: After:

    Something that had been nagging at me from the very beginning was that the OME shocks were slightly too short for how my rear suspension was set up with the extra leaf and the longer shackles. The shocks would limit the amount of droop I was getting. I was happy with the shocks performance so...
