Thank you. I do apologize for the lack of updates though. I like recording all the details and I feel like I could be documenting it even more!
Lol thanks you! Still love your Tacoma as well.
Progress has been slow again. Life keeps getting in the way and we have too many projects ongoing...
One day I'll get to drive this thing on the road.... but that time has not yet come! Still on jack stands. Removed the facotry cam tab gussets last night and having the new ones (Total Chaos) welded in this week. Then it starts to go back together. Truck basically has no front or rear suspension...
Width of the wheel is 9.5" after the beadlock conversion (depends where width is measure to also... not sure if I should be measuring to outer edge of the beadlock face or outer edge of where the bead sits? Something that could change my figure as I have never measured a wheel before to see...
+10
Lol, well I have a deposit on one... with the amount of vehicles I've been screwed ou of on Kijiji this year I won't hold my breath.
Thanks Sean, I am pretty pumped as well. I was originally going with a different color combo but seeing them on the vehicle has re-confirmed how much I...
Got all 4 tires mounted. Lubed up the inner bead with some dish soap and the bead seated no problem. First time I've mounted my own tires before so it was a good thing to check off the list to know that I have done it before.
- Rear ext. brake lines installed (stainless)
- more frame paint...
OOOOOOhhhhhh
You betcha! We are doing some video work with Cooper over the coming months. Pretty excited for that project and to try these tires out.
UPDATE
No pics... too busy with dirty hands last night to take any. I did delete the REAS system:
- airbags & height position sensors removed...
Awesome pics. I'm always looking back here for ideas... very well put together truck. Really want to get a similar RTT for mine. I just need to find one with enough long for my 6'6" body! haha
Lots going on in the garage...but a few teasers to keep some photo action coming.
Went out with Untitled Offroad for a day trip to the Crowsnest Pass a couple weeks ago. I was just riding shotgun with my camera.

I had the same issue exactly after I pulled the front end apart when going "mid-travel". I ended up pulling the fuse and driving it for 2 years without issue.
Sean... truck looks absolutely awesome! Glad you went with the black wheels. Also really like the poke without the front flares, I...
This is all I got... but it's a start. Good things happening in the RickRunner garage.

I can't express enough feelings of joy around the fact that every bolt has come un-done so easily. No rust, no hassle... literally like working on a new vehicle. I...
Thanks for stopping in Dave and glad you're enjoying the projectors!
I'm sorry... I've been lagging. Its been too cold to work on my truck but it looks like things are changing this week. Expect some major updates here in the next 2 weeks.
Been watching your build over on T4R. Very nice setup and I fully respect your desire and ability to build your own bumpers. Super cool! Glad you chopped that rear crossmember for a tighter-looking rear bumper. Excited for progress and your design implementation as I will be eventually going...
Nailed it Ryan! I was going to go with the LS460's again but with a dedicated highbeam reflector (as you said...) and the 3x BD XL-Pro's, I figured I'd give the LS430's a go. They are supposed to be the widest low-beam in existence. Stoked to get them in and see for myself.
We MAY be doing a...
Bumping this to the top. Starting to plan for Colossal 2017. 3rd Weekend in September with a 4 day trip duration. Vehicle requirements and registration date will be posted on our website soon. Open to a maximum of 10 vehicles to keep it flexible and promote interaction. Not trying to make this a...
Am going to do a full write up on RickRunner's lighting system in the near future. None of the cars I own right now have HID setups right now and I am really missing the benefits of good lighting performance as I am on the highway a lot lately. Missing the old Tundra FX-R retrofit and those...
