Talking SCUBA's Taco is LIFTED !!!

Finnally got her mainly all buttoned up..
Still gotta work on shock mounts, bump stops, bleeding the brakes and moving the LSPV.

But here's how she sits (specs are in the sig)


Before :








This angle is more Dramatic


Final numbers :

D/F : 2.25"
D/R : 5.25"
P/F : 3.25"
P/R : 5.25"

So with 3" all pro's I got 5" of lift
and with 881's I got 2.25/3.25" of lift.. Still trying to grasp why theyre so uneven..

I think the rear will stettle down and give it a nice stance

Me = Excited

With 33s and a Front Locker
You will go anywhere in that little truck
Given your taste for body-damage

The install wasnt very hard at all..
The leafs went in without issue..Well, I had to chop the exhaust a bit..
Once or twice I had to call my dad out to have him hold a piece of pipe between the shackles so I could position the front spring eye to get that bolt in..

The front wasnt hard either, Although, I took it upon myself to try and disassemble the stock struts, but once I got one apart I couldnt get the compressor off, I gave up and took all the struts and crap to a shop this morning to have them assemble, 40 bucks not bad, They took the compressor off of the spring for me and by the time I ran to the parts store to return it and get back they were done.

Whew.

But yea.
2 out of 5.

Very cool...makes me miss my '97 Taco a little bit..I think your double spaced Sig makes it one of the longer on YT.

Bob the bed and trim the quarters at the same time, than do your rear bumper
some 2x3 box with a some 1.5" tubing quarter armor would look cool

Looks good, Scoob,

I agree, new meats and that thing's a beast.

Ah, to be young and have the freedom to spend money just the way I want to again.

I vaguely remember that version of your sig...heck I remember a few months ago when you were a lowly newb with only 3K posts

by the end of the year you will be ahead of Corey.

Looking forward to seeing the progress on the truck

You can give me your truck if you get a Taco. That way you don't have to worry about getting rid of it
