My Tacoma in progress.(traded in)

[Justin Forrest]

As of 1/30/18 As of 2/18/17BP-51's, Dakar rear spring, Camburg uca's,285/70/17's, sliders and a used Raider canopy. Ifs and Trans skids will be in soon then I will be done for this year. Maybe. This is my 2013 Tacoma I bought gently used a little over a year ago. It's my first Tacoma and I love it. This is how it sits currently. Bilstein 5100's front and rear with Old man emu 885's up front and a 1/2 top plate spacer. Also has a 2" add a leaf in the back. I plan on going to a different setup in the near future. I built the rack.

Latest set of tires. 265/70/17 Falken AT3w. They are great. I will be getting another set in 285/75/17 in the future. A couple of suspension.

The atw3 is an awesome tire my wife has them on her truck. Most likely going to be the next tire on my fj.

I've done a few of super cheap, but useful mods like the trailer plug relocated into bumper. And the rear diff breather.

I would like to add a roof top tent this spring and take the family out on some extended excursions. My 3 year old son loves to go out get the truck dirty. I love working on stuff for this truck and look forward to doing a ton more.

Seattle. I have been doing it for a long time now. Just wish I had more free time to build stuff. I would like to do aluminum front bumper.

I can't believe how good they are, for how cheap they are.

Found another shot of the rack I built. Not done with it yet, have mounts to build for jerry cans, hilift and spare tire. Going to add two more posts to tie it to the bed at the rear. My goal is to mount everything as inboard as possible but still easily accessible.

It's ridiculously cheap if you have the skills and tools. I think I'm about $65 for sliders. I got a sheet of 1/4"6061 for a steal that I will be cut full set of skids from. Sometimes I want to shell out the cash cause it just takes awhile to get it all done.

 

[Justin Forrest]

Got the brackets installed today. Wiring for lights is supposed to show up today. Maybe tomorrow I will get install lights.

 

[Justin Forrest]

Got the Ditch lights installed and wired up. I will try them out in an hour or so when it's dark.

 

[Justin Forrest]

So I have few upgrades coming. BP-51's, Camburg uniball uca's, and 285/70/17's. Looking forward to a more comfortable ride. Pictures to follow as things start showing up.
