No.

Its a 7.75" deep X 15.75" tall x 25" wide with an 11" wide x 3" tall X 7" deep notch in it for the middle hump...

Just got it done after like 3 hrs of working on it and it souynds like complete

Im so mad... It really needs to be like 4" deep at top and like 9" deep at the bottom because the seat is so far forward that I can barely even fit in the pass seat. its so gay. im really mad... Im going to have my buddy make me one because im completely over it.

Wow,looks good dude.

Thanks. Just needs some work and its good to go.

It was a good trade for sure.

Body lift is 3" and its coming out this weekend

[NorCalToy]

a lot of people run BL and dont need too...only kills the look and function of the rig...

did the PO wheel it, or just show truck it? it looks really clean...

[kiyul4130]

2" BL's for life.

[86turboyota]

that thing is sick.

[lilbuddy]

He wheeled it. its pretty clean. he didnt build it

from what i got the truck was originally from/bulilt in chico, sold to some tweaker, the tweaker got it and destroyed it in 3 days, guy i got it from had it for a couple of months, repainted it and it is what i have now.

I like body lifts because they give you more working space around the engine and drivetrain. Also they lift only the body which keeps the center of gravity lower, whereas when you lift the suspension with blocks, shackles or more arched springs you lift more weight in the air (body, frame and motor) I do agree that bodylifts are fuggo, 2" arent that bad but 1" are nearly a waste of time. I think your truck would definately look btter minus the BL

Its gay because its bending every single body mount.

I hate body lits all in all so im fully getting rid of it.

Plus my truck is RIDICULOUSLY tall. Like i said the 3 inch body lift is going to go by bye and the suspension will be lowered about 1.5 or so

[Thomas P]

In your case I would dump it too something that nice doesnt need to have a goofy ass BL on it. If it was me id take it off too

[lilbuddy]

Just ordered some new OEM style tail lights off ebay



got my new sub and box in. pretty bummed about the box cause i made it too big so the seat is wayyyyyyyyyyy forward

Making a new one soon though

Oh and this things gas mileage is pretty sweet. i am stoked on that for sure.

[NorCalToy]

is it the same engine that was in the other tacoo?

[TheCookieMonster]

looks like a good trade ....definetly the BL needs to go....all they do is mess other things up like body mounts
