you didnt tell me that you righted it thats awesome dude.. remeber when i tipped over in that whole and we couldnt even right it with a winch lol..

and good questions steve and colton .. i'd better let josh answer since its his truck(that works amazing)

ps the night he crawled it twice with mtrs and leaf springs i tried over 100 times and couldnt even come close and ive climbed it probably ten times!
and the first one the one that we didnt record he crawled even slower and spun even less!!! it was amazing! i think his truck is just the right weight.. his tires were eating the rocks.. mine were just spinning on top.. and he aired me down to 3 psi and i still couldnt get traction !

Thanks colton! my 37s dont rub. I thought they might this trip cuz i just finished lowering my body lift down to a 1 inch but they clear just fine!
Those springs that are on it are gooses old alcans and i love them they work awesome! i actually bent the main leaf on the pasenger side coming off of sucide on the night that i crawled it but its not too bad. I love the alcans they are sick!
haha ya i remember that james we almost had it tho :) i think my truck is just the right weight too james it works pretty decent!

Man it has been a long time since I've seen your thread, your truck is a whole new piece of machinery. Glad to see that the cage held up and worked, I like how simple and functional it is. I also like how tucked into the cab it is. And the Tacoma grill is pretty pimp!

Here's a few pics of what ive been working on. I welded up the tubes
and the welds on both axles and made a truss for the rear. i figured i might
as well make it now when the axle is off of the truck. I also found some wheels and got my tires all mounted up :)
