Been a long time lurker and finally joined and honestly I'm not sure why I waited so long.
I've got a Tacoma I've built up a little bit but now I've got a new toy.
About a year ago I bought a 98 TJ 4 banger. Had it about a month and sent a rod through the block. Bought a used motor, rebuilt it from the bottom up, (still a 2.5, I shouldve thought that through some more but was intending it to be a work beater).
Fast forward to now, I've got a HP D60 kingpin with chromo stubs, 5.38's, spartan, slugs, and new bearings and seals from the inside out, brake conversion kit and a bunch of other stuff that's needs to be finished and a 60 for the rear.
Once I've got them finished and the front trussed, I'll be running 12" kings up front and probably doing a XJ SUA in the rear to do a quick stretch and get it going so I can wheel it and work all the kinks out of the front. And once that's done I'll eventually do a link/coilover setup on the rear. That'll be my first, made from scratch stretch and link setup so it's going to be fun.
