I have two trucks that I'm building, as you can see they are both in need of some expedition mods:

Nicetruck, and always good to see another Oregonian. I saw the second pic and I was like: "Central Oregon???" !!! We should set up Portland area run sometime, I think there are more than a few of us here now-days.

And Arvin: THat is one awesome truck you've built yoursefl man. Nice work mate.

Thank you sir.

Arvin G.... your not painting your front bumper?

I'm more than likely powder coating it in the next couple months. I was just cuzzing around rusty rat rod style for a while :bike_rider:
Lookin good Arvin, hopefully your rides are a little more bearable!

Way better :smiley_drive: Thanks again for the donation!

Finally finishing-up my Tacoma. I've had the rollcage done for a while, and now I'm almost done fitting-up all the sheetmetal panels that will make a usable bed. I can still haul a couple of dirt bikes and gear, or my two dogs and mountain bikes and camping gear in what's left of the bed. Kept it 4WD and put a 5:1 Atlas in there, so I can some moderate run trails and haul azz.

Now I'm starting on the Deuce!

Thanks. They're 17x8" forged Alcoa wheels that I had OMF install beadlocks on. It's a REALLY nice setup, but they're too heavy. I wish I had gone with 15" wheels and tires. Right now I've got a set of 255/85/16 BFG MT's mounted-up on that Tacoma and the difference in acceleration, braking and handling is pretty noticeable.

Thanks. Yeah, they're a set of custom-arched 62" Deaver leafsprings. They cycle about 17-18" of vertical wheel travel.

There are some tech articles about the rear suspension here.
