Hey glad you enjoyed the reading about all that crazy work I did to my Tacoma. I put way too much time and money into my truck. But I love it.

And here we are showing the front once more. Like my sweet hood rod? Making a real hood stay will put the finishing touch on this thing. I would love to have some hydraulic struts on this truck but I'll probably just make a steel rod with rubber feet. I'm not feeling like spending a couple hours making special brackets. Way too much other stuff to work on. I need to start drawing up a bumper quick.

Just a quick update here. Engine runs great - truck is rediculously fast and rollcage is top priority now. I got the wheels I've always wanted and the all terrains ride so much better then the muds - the ride is much better. I'm also am building a full floating Ford 9" rear end which will complete the rear suspension that was designed for it. The front suspension and spindles are being built and I'm hoping I'll have time to tie it all together before the end of the year. The only trick will be paying for all this stuff!
