How's the progress coming along?

What are you still waiting on? Parts wise.

I'll do the install myself. My uncle has a nice shop with all of the required tools to handle this type of project.

 

FOX 12" 2.0 CO's, which is what I'm currently running on the front.

I'm two years into my build with 4WU 3link front and 4link rear. Best advice I can offer is don't weld anything solid until you've cycled everything and you're positive it's right. Any doubts, call or text Brian. He's good about answering your questions. I guess you would know this if you installed your front suspension yourself though.

Brian told me to make the rear match the front as far as ride height and shock travel. I had room to set up the rear with more up travel but was told not to. My front and rear links are same length as instructed as well. I was also told to get my shocks as far outboard as possible to minimize body roll.

The thing I had most trouble with is the shock location. At full droop it has to clear the frame, full stuff it has to clear the tire and still hopefully be at a decent shock angle. Brian told me being as far out on the axle is more important than the shock angle in his eyes. Of course it's more complicated than this. When in doubt, consult Brian.

Good luck with your build!

Here are some photos:

And lastly:

You might wanna gusset that track bar bracket coming off the frame and plate the frame/box the inside of it. The stock frames are super weak, mine still flexes even after plating the outside

Those are the new Fox you're talking about? Aren't those just the 2.0?

Woohoo, you got'r done! Please report back with how it all works out on the trail. How much tuning was needed on the front once installed?

Good catch on the upper CO bolt. Wouldn't be too hard to make it double shear.

One thing to point out is, this is the 1st 4WU rear 3 link kit for a 1st gen Tacoma. Brian came to my place and spent a fair amount of time taking measurements towards making the templates.

Is it 100%, no, but it's very close. I'm sure he and I will talk and go over the differences between the Toyota truck vs Tacoma.

One thing for sure, it cycles smoothly and the ride difference is far superior compared to leafs.

If anyone needs specifics or measurements, let me know, glad to help.

Nice. I'm running the same 4wu rear 3 link kit for my Tacoma but opt to go with through bed towers vs under bed mount. Bought it in late 2020 and been good.

Nice... guess I should've stated 'Under bed CO mount.'
How do you like it?

@lone walker, did you run a bar or tube between the front and rear lower link brackets to act as skids and supposedly avoid the "anchor" situation? I'm still working on my build and debating whether to do that or not.
