Saga of Stanley Fab - Builds of sorts!

[toyick]

Ive been pretty busy working in the shop lately, i have what seems to be a never ending job, i have dubbed it the "snowball" because it is snowballing like crazy, plus its all white. this past week i have installed l-track, on all sides of the Four Wheel Camper... also i have made not one but 4 solar panel mounts, to the customers specifications. it was pretty nerve racking drilling into this camper, but after some thinking, research, lack of blue prints, and some ingenuity, i said screw it and drilled away. And i love how well the L-track came out.

I had a job planned for some ICON RXT kit for the back of a tacoma today, but parts were not delivered on time. so i started to work on a few things on my own tundra as well.
I recently got new Tires, finally mounted my real spare wheel that matches. Also ordered up some aluminum for my rear fold down table. Waiting on some hardware to finish that up, but got it mounted and cut. (mind the zip ties), also considering doing some dimple dies in it..

blahhhhhh

And i guess i left out the fact that i actually went and used the tundra..

blahhhhhh

Wow.

Love the truck man. White was what I was wanting on my 1st gen, but unfortunately there were none out there. Tell me about that rear bumper...custom?

Hello, How did you like those wild peaks? I'm thinking of KO2 but looking for alternatives.

Thanks man, the rear bumper is a custom that i made. I am acutely looking into making a couple for others that have asked for them, with slight variations to what i did on mine.
If your interested let me know.

I acutally like them alot, they are quite, and work well in most conditions. I wanted a good DD tire that had a good wear rating to them. SO far i have no complaints, esp for the price point.

Um, they were ok..not my first rodeo with glass. I have have worse..and better...but i was able to get them to look good.
I am not sure if i posted it here, but Tundra side markers, are notorious for flopping like a chicken wing.. so i made a small bracket to hold them all together...and that really did the trick.

Well finally got some time now that the shop is completely empty to pull the coilovers off the tundra and get a couple hours to check out the valving..in the front end.. its alll wrong so i am making some pretty big changes... hopefully it helps.
I also picked up some Spring under Deavers
for a good deal. so i will be doing that and possibly a bed cage together..

blahhhhhhh

Man I love this truck. You disappeared for a while and somehow you popped up as a suggestion on Instagram. Now it's easier to stalk ya.

Love the truck though. Wish I had a 1/4 of your skill.

haha STALKER alert!!
Just kidding i dont mind, thats what social media is for. Have had a few ruff months in a row, but hanging in there. And thank you...havent had much time to work on the tundra...but i wanna get back at it for sure.
I have some deaver spring under leaf packs, sitting waiting to be installed, Just waiting on some better shock options. I will most likely do a bed cage or keep them under the bed...not sure yet..

 

[toyick]

Well the move happened! its been a long month or so.. just getten back to reality.
New shop is almost up and running.. Its alot smaller, but i will still be working like normal.

blahhhhhhh

 

[toyick]

So since the move i have been dealing with a slipped disc in my back..setup of the new shop was a tad slower then i anticipated. But after some down time i was able to get back to the grind. I started with starting the SUA conversion on my tundra.

Stock shackles were much to short. So i made some

How ever i do not like the ride height due to the longer shackles. So my friend Matt designed me new spring hangers. These allow use of the 6in shackles raise the height 1.5, and move the pivot back 1.5 inches all while using the stock bolt holes.

I also ordered some DMZ beefy spring plates.
I will be doing a bed cage with 16in double bypass shocks soon.

Also wanted a new welding table to i designed a new one

blahhhhhhh
