Thread: cole's tacoma

just be sure to cycle your rear end at full articulation... you'd be suprised how close the bypass tubes get to the frame and sidewall of the tire when one wheel is at full droop and the other is at full bump.. if it clears metal to metal you shouldn't have any problems.. nice clean build by the way.

Nice truck man

picts from halloween at occotillo/ superstition:



mashed in skidplate on this jump, fucked the battery up and broke the power window in drivers side

Let's see the skid. How did you break the power window? The motor or the acutal glass? Truck looks good tho. You revalve the front?

alright ill get some picts ha, and i haven't revalved the front yet, now i KNOW i need to. my buddy works at Icon so im gunna set the coilovers right, and i stuffed the truck a couple of times so a part of the motor came off in the door.

Shit happens but glad the truck survived. Im still in the process of trying to get that bumper. Let me know if you sell it or have a buyer lined up. Need to figure out when i can cruise down.

bummer on the skid and battery

truck looks sick with that clip tho, one of a kind man!

truck is looking good man. go with 35's!
looks like you could use some more valving up front like you said

haha thanks guys, i cant wait to stiffen the front up

got new shoes!

Nice. 35"s??

loook like 33's

there the KM2's 33x12.5" on 15" wheels

also got an amber light and some shit today at ORW haha, eitherway i cant wait to go out to Occotillo real soon

Looks good. I suggest some Hellas converted to HID. If your on a budget.

thats the plan, 2 pincil beams and 2 Euro's, but i need some other shit first

been doing some small but helpful stuff to the truck. I drilled an antenna through the rood for my kenwood race radio, added LED amber lights, put an optima battery in the back along with a jack and we made a skid plate for the jack. on top of that i gutted the x-cab of the truck in preparation for the cab cage and made a plate to hold stuff in the bed of the truck:

nice updates I like those dimple die plates
