Toyota Project: TacoCart

[Herzog]

Front Bumper: blinkers and aux lights mounted. Still need to remake the fairlead mount and tuck it in further.

ARB and breather lines ran

And here I took a note from teraflex and made some brake line guides. These are just made out of cut down rubber bungie straps. The tab on the brake line is OEM for that line that attached to one of the A-arms previously.

Waiting on tires and coils to show up.

Great idea on the brake line anchors.

 

[Coco]

Brakeline anchors are a great idea! LOVE the way this thing is turning out!

 

[Herzog]

This happened today!

Note: I'm going to add 1.25" spacers on all corners. In these photos the rear wheel isn't mounted so it appears to poke out, but it certainly doesn't when fully mounted (jack stand is in the way)

Also, the truck is going sit 2" higher, as the chassis is still on jacks and I just wanted to see fitment. I wish my ride height was at this point with only another inch in the back! But I digress...

I'm really happy with the bumper so far.

So when I did this, I purposefully moved the axle centerline forward a couple inches and I have been worried about it ever since. Now my worries are all gone! It's perfect!

Cheers!

Looks sweet, now it's not a Toyota and reliable as a 70s jeep

At least the front wheels won’t fall off on the hwy with that shitty lower ball joint design

 

[TRD270]

Perfect, solid axles swapped for the highway!

[Bart]

Oh man, that is a work of art.

 

[Gravy]

Thumbs way up!

 

[ID Bronco]

I'm really jealous of your skills and the result. That is awesome.

What's wrong with that? All the cool kids are doing it.

 

[Herzog]

Oh man, that is a work of art.

Thanks Bart! I really appreciate that, especially knowing how meticulous you are with your projects.

Thumbs way up!

Thanks Stratton! I'm getting excited to drive this thing!

I'm really jealous of your skills and the result. That is awesome.

Thanks man! Not sure how much of it is skill or just luck though! I appreciate it!

 

[Coco]

Looks so awesome! ... I'll trade you my GX470 for it

 

[BlackSheep]

That's awesome work man!

 

[Tonkaman]

Moving those tires to center of the wheel wells is the coolest part of this whole thing. It always killed me having the stupid tires scrub against the cab mounts. The truck looks amazing, nice work!

 

[Rock Taco]

Looks awesome Shane. I guess I better work on mine so we can hit the trails together.

 

[bryson]

Looks great! What is the reason for the wheel spacers?
