The silver tacoma was actually sold we no longer have that here. At one point All pro was going to be under new ownership and the new owners bought some of the toys from jon (original owner & still current owner) Things happened the sale never went through and we are still under the same ownership but they kept the trucks they bought. (red FJ40 and the silver tacoma)

Truck looks so awesome man! Why didn't you do a hp third?

[mudaddict]

I have a Hp third in it. just doesn't look like it.

Matt ya it sucks that silver truck was a blast to drive had some kinks to work out but it worked great and the fj just walked over anything in front of it. But that just gives jon more room to build some new toys hes gonna be doin a expedition style tacoma with a full width diamond with toy outers on 40s next after he moves half the shop to montana.

Moving to montana, when did this come about? I dont remember hearing anything about it. For that build I vote that he uses fj80 outers and the new Hellfire knuckles. Still Toyota and amazingly strong!

About 5 months ago lol.  He is moving all the fabrication part upnto montana he is wanting to get away from day to day operation to focus on building products and making new stuff. Ya you would think but he is goin to use mini truck knuckles and long fields.

Brendan just came to the rescue and saved me tons THANK YOU BRENDAN  cant wait to get that last little part and get the axle put together.

Well todays project was a bit different but we got it done lol.
Sitting in my chair and all of a sudden i hear a snap and i fell backwards it was pretty funny but here is the chair.

took it in the back of the shop dont feel like having the company spend money on a new one if we can fix it we do have the technology! so after a little bit of time the chair is returned to me.
plenty of holes for speed  - its the same on the other side as well.

[iNfErNaL]

[mudaddict]

Pushed it outside the gate today to load up all the production stuff to move them up to montana here is the "good side of my truck :yup yup: you can actually see how it sits.

[John Doe]

What is your frame height looking like?

[mudaddict]

Its about 24in

[THK Matt]

Hey muddy, you think you can take some measurements of your front body mount width, hood width and the measurements I posted for the fenders on peps thread?

[mudaddict]

i was gonna do it anyways since i can actually do that

[mudaddict]

Gonna get power steering lines made this weekend  and maybe be able to drive it home. Still gotta drill out the arms to run a 7/8th bolt but thats easy to do. But on the bright side i put in my PO to get some custom length brake lines today with crown brake lines. Going to run them off the caliper up the lower link into the hard line trying to keep it as clean looking as i can. Going to run the lines i have now to get around if i can get it driveable this weekend until they show up. The its cut the front fenders and anyhting else i have to to clear the tire at all points. Also working on some sliders and front bumper to. Then regear the rear diff and figure out the front drive line length.

Anyone know someplace in so cal who can do gears?

[TRACKER]

i ran allpro brake lines from the calipers to lower links ,connected to 12" hardlines then connected to rubber lines from original 4runner to hard lines at the frame . the 4runner soft line run about $12 each new and they re about 6" in lenght
