Thanx Dog.So what's up,you getting that Tundra?.

[rude86]

dude that thing is way tall.

[iNfErNaL]

dude that thing is way tall.

  How do you figure?,With the width of the axles it's just fine.My Jeep sat just as tall with full width 1 tons and I never had a situation were it was too tall.

[rude86]

?? it might just be the laying on the ground photo angle. looks bad though.

[Reynolds]

Thanx man,just interior.The axles have 5:38s in them allready,and it's got dual cases.I was actually gonna PM you on Pirate,got any info on the paint you used on your truck?.

I made a huge thread on TTORA about the paint job Very cheap and easy...

Do you guys think the Macho Taco would look good with a pink drag link, or maybe a pink oil pan?

Okay TROY...I think it would match the pink gate at the shop  .

[ToYocRawleR]

hey infernal what size tires were originally on the truck before the 42s?

[Lowrider]

Oh no, we have been painting things pink for longer than Troy, we painted one of Chris Geigers diffs (for the samurai) pink and the other one purple last year. Were bastages like that.

When I bought it it had 38s.

[TacoStewie]

[ToYocRawleR]

[iNfErNaL]

That thing is bad ass fo sho!!!

Thanx Cuz.

[ToYocRawleR]

How much did you pick that up for? I saw it a while back on craigslist.

[iNfErNaL]

Aaight,so we got to work on the Macho today.Plan was for my buddie and I to cage it up and for me to bob the bed.We're gonna do an All-Pro cage with some added tubing and run it back to the bed and I'm looking at making the cab a walk thru because of my kids.It's gonna be reinforced quite a bit and we're gonna tie the new Beard seats into the cage and the cage into the frame  .Here's my buddie Lee tacking the main hoop to the plates.

[iNfErNaL]

Couple more shots of the cage tacked in place.We didn't even get half way with the cage,we ran out of time because we got a really late start but she's coming along...From when I first got this truck till now it's allready had quite a few changes,axles,suspension,wheels & tires and a BUNCH of other things.So far I'm pretty happy with it and I'm anxious to get it on the rocks!!!

[iNfErNaL]

Picture of my new oil pan(T-100),just waiting on the strainer.

[iNfErNaL]

Getting ready to cut  .

[iNfErNaL]

 Me cutting and hoping it's straight  .

[iNfErNaL]

This is how it turned out,we cut about 12" off.The pictures look crappy because it's still not cleaned up,the bed isn't really mounted and they were taken at night so the next time I work on it the bob job will be finished up and hopefully all the cage work...Stay tuned.

It's really not as bad as people think.If it was that tall,on 37s and on Yota axles,yeah it might be a little tall but on full width 1 tons and 42s it's fine.
