May 2014
Picked up a trail gear front bumper

July 2014
Picked up my SOS sliders and RAT products 3 piece skid

A few pics of gulches trip a little later that month

Wound up breaking a cv axle right here and thus began the realization of I NEED SAS!

September 2014
Began cutting to fit my 35s. Tubbed the fire wall back 3"

Installed eibach coils in the front, toytec adjustable shackles in the rear, and a powertrax locker..

Then came the 35s

Also put quick pins in the doors.

First trip to uwharrie

Windrock trip
Logged over 100 miles here and this became my favorite wheeling place yet.

Couldn't make it all the way up trail 18 so had to turn around...

just a few months ago built a high clearance rear bumper

Good looking truck! Looking forward to future progress

So, you broke a toyota CV with small tires and no traction device, and still went to 35's?

Subbed, nice truck.

Thanks, next thing will either be a 9.5 fj80 rear or tire gate most likely.

I figured maybe with more traction I wouldn't have to go so hard to get up obstacles. So far so good.. from that day I swore i would only break 2 cv axles. So one down one to go before it gets chopped lol

Go tons!!!!

Hell I broke one on 33s and there are 35s waiting to have some room made for them. Trimming fenders and tubbing firewall this weekend on my truck.

Na I'll be going 80 axles for now, tons are way to expensive lol priced tons at about 10 grand to do it right.

[emoji15] where are looking for tons from. You could build a set for half that pretty easy

Yeah, 5 grand in built axles, then coilovers, links, brackets, heims, hydro assist steering, all the other steering stuff/ oil pan/ frame material/ and tires and your into it 10 grand lol

Adds up quick and tacomas are expensive to sas.
