my rehab 99 taco SAS
Well some people should get their hands slapped if they touch a welder or bender....
So with that said its time to rehab my new to me Tacoma...the first owner did a pisspoor job and some of the welds are horrid...I've picked better boogers than some of these...lol
I won't go into all the stuff just stuff I'm doing as I do it....and moving forward.
99 Tacoma ex cab
Sas
Front axle: Wagoneer d44 (ARB Locker, 4:88 gears, nitro chromoly shafts, 300m u-joints, RCV 30 spline outer conversion, nitro diff cover, warn premium hubs)
Rear axle: stock (ARB locker, 4:88 gears, full float conversion, cell a gt brakes with ebrake for 15" rims, Chromoly shafts,)
Dual transfer cases
Viair onboard air with tank
Bobbed bed 13"
Bobbed canopy 13"
Custom rack for convertible rear top
Custom bumpers
Warn 9.5. CTI winch
39.5 Iroks
What I've done in last week since getting it....
Cut canopy down to fit bed, added 39.5 Iroks, did front Chromoly axles with Excalibur u-joints and Rcv 30 spline outer conversion, added winch, made bumper, put in Durango seats front and 3rd row for rear, swapped nitro diff cover on, changed ball joints, redid bearings, adding 30" led bar tomorrow and doing creeper shackles mount in rear with longer shocks and new shackles.
Race line bead locks will be ready for pickup on the 21st
How it started
Then 8 cans of flat black
Started bumper
My warn 9.5cti winch I got for $240 from local car dealer...jeepers gave it to em with trade in
Grabbed a $50 canopy
Durango seats
Soft top framework

Made the tranny pan cover today, started the cross bars behind transfer case and will add another the. Bend up some plate to make the whole mid section 1 big flat skid and keep the weight down on it as well...

Modified the rear shackles and packs some today...it works a TON better I'll finish up this week with creeper joints on rear shackle and longer shocks....
The front has another 2" at shocks of up travel...so I'll split it and drop the mounts 1" down
Had to find something high enough to hold back end up....new shop has all the lifts at it so running skeleton parts till I open up there...lol
Use what ya got.

Did the skids on the front bumper for bumping rocks and not hanging up...3/16 plate and center is bolted on so I can access winch bolts.
Headed to johnson valley too run sledgehammer on the 15th if all goes as planned.
Underbody skids will be done this week or by the weeks so I can slide over stuff...
