[KYOTA]

Cool thanks mike. Ill fully take it. Mine has a dent on the top so thatd be cool. Its funny stuff, i work with your cousin (glen robertson) and he mentioned you a few months back and i was like oh damn i know that guy. And i was talking to someone, i think CJ, and he said you started the links? You need to finish it so we can hit up the snow, or randomly meet up with you, greaseball and jewball again, that was awesome.

Haha nope. I just asked him if  you were going to get it or not cause his cousin had a manifold and he had the downpipe and they live like 20 min away.

Yeah I just got the coil-overs for the front and got the bed bobbed and the rear 9" in. put the 37s on right when the thunderstorms hit yesterday... its coming along tho, couple more weeks and it should be ready for a test run

Thats sick dude. Youll have to let me know when you get it done so we can go wheel again

Yea dude, im gettin close to you now. Im on my 5th

Got a bunch of stuff done today on it. Matt and I (mostly matt) reworked the exhaust and got the stock manifold in. Damn that was a pregnant dog.... Its in though and sounds pretty good. Took it up to a place where i could flex it a ltitle and the suspension definitely needs reworked. Gunna fix the rear shackle hanger and take a leaf out and on the front move take 2 leafs out. The rear shocks need /\ bad too cause theyre almost all the way extended.

After i flexed it though the rear ujoint was making a lot of noise so i got that fixed and its pretty legit. Its pretty nice to drive and has decent power too so thats chill.

Sweet new rig man. I really liked your 02 Taco but this thing is sick as hell. Seriously though, you need to get rid of those gay ass tail lights 

[yota_krawler]

[84TanToy]

Sad to see the 2002 Tacoma go but the new truck looks sick as well

[yota_krawler]

[lilbuddy]

Ya it is. Its mostly the rear suspension and the front being too stiff. ill fix it soon ish.

[yota_krawler]

[lilbuddy]

allpro 4" front and rear.

[yota_krawler]

I didnt now if they were 44044s or not, I know I could have gone back........... but I didnt. They should flex pretty good, just need to take leafs out and tri anglulate the shocks

So is it running a little better on the freeway now that you put the other manifold on? I finally was able to check up on the thread once I got out here, looks good man. I hear ya on the shock deal - I have the Sky's rear mount on my 1st gen and it works well. I'm sure you could fab something up easy enough though.

I had to adjust the timing, new TPS, new manifold/downpipe and adjust the idle and it runs way better. Still kind of a turd though.
