I've been working on getting the bed done. I got all the mounts made now I just need to finish the welding and get the bonding done
This is with 8 inches taken out front and rear for a 16" total.

Is the bed dove tailed too?

[86rustbucket]

Nope just bobbed. It probably looks that way because its so damn wide.

Looks awesome! I like how you kept the body lines in the bed too.

Thanks man,   that and getting the mounts on the bottom made  took a bit of headscrathing but I think it will turn out decent when its done. Its far from perfect but after my buddy who does body work stops by and helps with the bondo it should be alright.

Looks so sick man!!

Thanks Holden.   You'll see it up close soon enough.

I took it up to bald the day after Thanksgiving. It was a good day but still no snow...

Any idea what front leaf springs you're running? Looks great!

Thanks!      They are 48 inch rears with a couple extra stock leaves and 1 leaf from a Marlin 4 inch pack.
  They have 7 leaves all together and no overload

How well do you think they will hold up over time? I'm guessing they might wear quicker due to the 1 ton axles? I'm contemplating what leafs to go with on my double cab since I just picked up a HP60 and 14 bolt for it

I don't think these will hold up at all but I think the extra weight of the Tacoma is more of a problem than the axles. These just seem way too soft.  I would just look into some all pro or tg front leafs.

I haven't done much to it lately other than throwing some shocks on it. I did take it up to bald for a little snow wheeling.
