did a little body work updated...NEW TOP

[toy4x4ota]

just recently i bobbed my bed, cut my fenders to make room for my new tires and also cut my half doors. i still need to tub my firewall a  load before i can wheel this little beast again though
here is  few of the bed, kinda hard to tell, i only cut 10 inches




here is the fender cutting...front cut inspired by ramrod. also a pictrue to show how i did the gas filler spot




one of the half doors


here are the new shoes...38x12.50 TSL. also pictures of how the truck sits now and one with the tube doors the i won from davez offroad performance

thanks for the kind words

when you trimmed the fenders did you move the gas tank at all? my sisters bf just cut his and left the gas cover a square, i told him to cut it but he doesnt want to, so if you didnt have to move the filler enterance then i can convince him to do it.....sry if none of that makes sense

[toy4x4ota]

ya i didnt move the filler at all. i just cut where i wanted, (made sure it wasnt to high for the filler) then cut. you can see in one picture that i had to cut up towards the filler, after my first cut, and hit it with ta hammer to get it up above the outside line. then i cut the filler door to match the outside line.  that probably makes no sense so just let me know and i can take some pics

sick little truck, looks like one I saw once!!.  For real tho its sick, you should have chopped the top down a few inches while you were in there.

[toyspider81]

[slabcs]

That cab totally came from my house.

[Ramrod]

yep I should be there 4sure.  3 years in a row. im sure you already know but my 86 no longer exists. RIP hello tacoma

[toy4x4ota]

Yup the cab came from Bob, I am super jealous of your dads DD. Thats the cleanest Toy I have ever seen maybey someday I will have the patience.

Todd "the roomate"

[slabcs]

Yeah that thing is amazing.  My 4Runner used to be that clean once upon a time.

[toyspider81]

[canadian4runner]

sweet truck. just got a question for ya. you rims, are they 15x8 w/ 3.75 backspacing ?

[skipnrocks]

wow man  I saw the cab and thought you were going to switch it but choping the top is cool nice job man!!!

[toy4x4ota]

sweet truck. just got a question for ya. you rims, are they 15x8 w/ 3.75 backspacing ?

ya 15x8, not sure on the back spacing though, i want to get some new wheels with 2.5 backspacing

wow man  I saw the cab and thought you were going to switch it but choping the top is cool nice job man!!!

thought about it but this was much quicker, and a good learnig experience too, Todd was the one who lead the way!

ya i definitely stole some ideas from your truck, but now i cant even hang with the coolness of a 3RZ tacoma . i also thought about chopping it, but i am six foot and didnt feel like getting a custom windsheild

thanks for all the kind words everyone

[Ramrod]

sweet well see ya at the con in september in love in memories to the 86. is the tacoma rock ready? post some pic if you got em

yeah check out my buildup page, its been on one trip so far.  Check out any of the hammers pic threads and it will be in there.  working perfect

[toy4x4ota]

ya from the pics, it looks like the tacoma works really well, other than wheels rolling away on the freeway

[canadian4runner]

how do u like 38s ? on-road driving and off-road ?

does it suck to turn those suckers off-road ?

reason being is that im getting a set my-self. just want to know how u like'em.

[toy4x4ota]

i love them, i have a hydro assist so turnig them is not really a problem. the only problem i am having is i like to drive my junk on the street and they seem to wear pretty quickly. thats why i need to get some other tires for the pavement. that said i say buy them because they kick ass
