DeMello's New SASed Taco

Some of you might have already seen these on the TTORA board i thought I would share.

Here is a link to some of the build up.

And here is a link of it being used a couple weeks ago. Mine is the white one towards the bottom of the list, this is in Joshue tree california on the "Carnage Asada trail"

She was driving mine before the Sas.

We have been on a couple shows actully, the taho was the first the next was the big bear run I lead with her 4runner, and the last (which hasn't aired yet) was the 05 tacoma build up.

Let me know if you are going to built one, I am sure a lot of 3rd gen wil want one too. May be we can poll a group buy for this design if BruceT is willing to let us copy his design. Or we can modify it with tire carrier.

I've already given Jason the OK to copy my bumper, in fact, I went by his shop so he could see how it was built. As for a tire carrier, that is in the works, once I get a few other projects finished, besides Jason should have no problem building one.
