Rokyoat's mild DC Tacoma build-up

[Reynolds]

How much work did you have to do to get the 16" coilovers under the hood? Contemplating 14's or 16's for mine.

[98yota]

sory to hear about the giant snowball man.
very sweet truck though. your truck is basically what i want mine to look like when i actually get to build on it.
you said you were in chico or you towed your truck to chico, i would like to check it out sometime im in paradise.
again props on the sick truck

[byron4]

sorry for the late reply. totally forgot about this thread. I have probably about 3 maybe 4" under the hood. the shock towers are lower than the york comp and intake manifold. its hard to tell how much room there is with the hood closed.

Thanks

front OX locker is actually working now. I had to re-route the cable.

I have also decided to sell the truck. I just dont use it enough. it deserves to get wheeled more than 3-4 times a year.

post or PM me with any questions

Not you too, Pat was putting his Runner up for sale a few weeks ago.  Are you going to get something else less built/DD, or are you dropping the hobby for awhile?

[88Rokyoat]

yeah he sold his. im not sure what im going to do. I just dont use it enough. wouldn't mind getting a full size truck and I have kicking around the idea of building a hot rod of some sort. My job just doesnt allow much time for wheelin anymore. just time to move on, to whatever that may be...

[Snowtoy]

I know what yo mean, my '91 has only wheeled three times since July '08, and likely wont for a few more months if my back doesn't improve any.  You could always pick up something slightly built, nice DD, good for getting out but nothing extreme, kind of the way the Taco was, before you won the 4-link.   I was going to suggest selling it to Pat and Buni, until I saw your asking price.  Do you think you can get that much for it, or are you hoping someone offers you say cash plus a vehicle?  You might join a couple of hot-rod forums, might find someone there willing to trade.

[88Rokyoat]

im not in a big hurry to sell it. plus I have almost that much in parts no including the truck itself.

[<MIKE>]

hey my friend jake koontz said you were selling your rig. you wouldn't want to sell your inchworm doubler would you? and thanks for the old bumper its done its job.

[88Rokyoat]

yeah i might sell the adapters.  i have both adapters and a crawl box too.

[<MIKE>]

i have a 2.7l would they still bolt up to mine or are the couplers different?

[88Rokyoat]

it is different i think. my adapter is for the 3.4

[<MIKE>]

ah thats too bad.

I know you have a lot time and money invested in it, and is it priced right, but it is going to be hard to find someone w/that amount of disposable cash given the economy.  At least you don't have to sell it like a lot of others, so you wont have to take a loss.

Did Pat get a fair pice for the Runner?  I now the last time he listed it he got really low offers.

[88Rokyoat]

i dont know what he got for it. he was fine with it whatever it was.

[Jud]

Try posting your truck up on TTORA or whatever it is

i doubt anyone would pay cash for that, that's what car loans are for.

[88Rokyoat]

If anyone is seriously interested in the truck (instead of trying to jew me down online without looking at it) the price is $16,000 firm.

Plans are to put the dual cases in, new drivelines, shave rear end and adjust rear pinion angle alittle. I'm not sure when fire season will let me get to the work but hopefully I can finish it and wheel it before winter!

[88Rokyoat]

after spending yesterday wiring my garage for 220, so I can use my welder, I decided to do some work on the dual cases today. I have had both adapters and 23 spline input for about a year now. The t-case I had for the crawl case was a forward shift. today I converted the crawl box to top shift and put it all together.

[88Rokyoat]

tomorrow I am going to order the twin sticks and crossmember stuff for Front Range off-road. The plan is to make my own crossmember, i wanted to use a premade Xmember. but the lower link brackets are pretty tight I think it will be easier to just make my own.

I will be using this to start with...

[pumkin toy]

sweet man, good to see you are working on it.  Are you still trying to sell it?

[88Rokyoat]

no. im keeping it. I didnt ever really need to sell it. I just like building rigs, but I got some motivation now that my welder is all hooked up and I got my tube bender mounted in the garage.  I plan on getting this thing dialed and hopefully put it to use.

sounds sick man!  cant wait to see the progress

[88Rokyoat]

I wanted to try out my bender mount today, so i bent a piece of tube to protect the radiator alittle. The bottom of the radiator sticks about 2.5" below the frame. the guard is not finished, I am going to plate it in and add some kind of hook/eyelet for the winch hook.

[Jud]

You should make a mount to hook the winch to the front axle.

[SloCrawler]

Looks good

[Slolyfe]

Hydro assist and ARB? line look really exposed
