While the Taco has been down I took the opportunity to do some traveling. So I thought I would post up a few vehicle related shots a took, something other than Tacoma pictures for once haha! Extremely picture heavy! First off I took some time to tour Toyota's main center in Tokyo. Their vision...

When I installed the Long Travel I had cam tab gussets added to prevent the alignment from going out after any wheeling trips. Its a standard mod for these trucks. Whats being added now is some armor/gusset to strengthen the first LCA mount from any direct impacts as well as a mount for the skid...

So I've just hit 30! The first thing I decided to do was go check on the rig. Making some good progress! This is going to be the newest 1st Gen Taco on the road! Custom black out kings are finally done and they are beautiful! Front end work is going into full gear! Some major bracing, gusseting...

Throwback Thursday!

Taco front end is getting some love, front diff is getting rebuilt with new all new seals, 4.88s gears and an ARB locker. :smiley_drive:plates. Custom gusseting/armor on the LCA mounts and skid plates. Similar to the setup here. Also switchback leds showed up. Should hopefully be able to...

Shop says they still have the stock E-Locker axle in the back. I'd let let it go for a decent offer. I would like to sell it off with the Budbuilt traction bar if possible. That alone cost me $450 + welding on the bracket to the axle along with the diff guard I had installed. On to updates...

Finally had time to toss a quick Baja trip video together! :) No audio so I added some music, feel free to mute if its not your style. https://youtu.be/ISo624FMAk8

Nice to see the DC getting some love! I like Igor. Slick phone mount.

Better be! Gave them all the receipts for the stuff that was stolen while at their shop.

So it looks like the lower links are approximately 40" I believe the stock lowers on say a 4Runner will run about 26" Passenger side bump stop slide nicely into the V ;) Tight clearance all around.. LEDs will fit perfect! One nearly fits into the pre-existing cutouts, and the pod will fit...

The correct LED pods for the bumper finally showed up! These things feel solid and seem to put out some decent light doing a test hookup. Can't want to see them installed, will likely drop by the shop Wednesday to see how it looks.

I'll need to check, its was not by the rig last time I looked...

I attached that photos just to see what I could fit and where on the bumper as both the light bars and bull bars are popular over in the outback right now. Pretty sure its a Rigid. I have watched a few comparison videos and the light output does not appear to look that much different. But as...

Looking forward to testing it out! Link setup with dics should be a huge improvement. I like it spicy! Ya even if the entire truck gets totaled the axle will be fine, nothing beats old American iron in this case. Blackdawg! You sent me down a rabbit hole looking at light bars... Now I'm...

Yea but they sent the bracket ones, useless in my application. So I'm trying another seller. Picking up a set of these to go where the ARB logo is And a set of these to replace the blinkers. Should act as a decent fog, ditch, camp lights They'll give me much wider front coverage at the intend...

Ugh, leave it to Amazon to mess up my order and send the bracket mounted LEDs instead..

Eh not too much of a fan of anything mounted near the windshield, above or below and it also tends to piss off the cops in CA. I'll likely swap out the HIDs once they die with an LED bar similar to what you suggested. Would not mind the increased airflow. The ARB has tons of unused space and I...

After the truck gets back from the shop I'm debating over some lighting upgrades... low quality paint mock up below. If I swap the turn signals to the corner lights it will allow me to load up the bumper. The install would only require me to drill one additional hole in the ARB as the ARB...

Looks like I won't be getting as adventurous as I wanted to but still a major upgrade when done! Can't wait to be up an running. Yea, I have been going there for some time and pointed many people their direction including my own family as we have several Toyota trucks. . I am starting to feel...

Yes, they had it parked in the back when they had the break in occurred, she is hopefully safer now that she is in the front, although there is not much left to take.. Work has finally restarted and it sounds like they are trying to get here up and out ASAP. Have a mechanic/fabricator working...
