Toyota Fanatic!
Aint gonna bend that one! Lol

Looking really good man! Wish I had the resources & time to tear into mine like that!
 
I've got $15k invested so far, that includes the price of the truck and the donor Tacoma, but I have not added in the price of the custom axle or coilovers or link parts.

I figure everything as if it were a customer's rig, and $50K would be about what a customer would pay to have this truck built.
 
To get the double cases high enough in the chassis, the floor had to be clearanced. Instead of doing it the old fashioned way with a ball peen hammer, I wanted to build a custom tunnel console with a removable cover to give easy access to the shifters and the top of the cases.

Just getting started.


See all the rust.

Is it? I drove all the way down to Fresno to buy that truck. Almost to Tollhouse actually. They are getting hard to find. The kid I bought it from rolled it on one of the local mountain roads. Pine needles were stuffed in everywhere.
