    Local Legend The sleeping Taco

    After seeing this build for a while I finally Put two and two together. So since this +1 kit is unobtainable do you think upper arm and expedition arms with the bypass shock hoop and uniball conversion can be tuned to be as capable as your truck is? I’m trying to convince my 17 year old we...

    Anyone else like that Slate EV?

    Engineering / CAD software

    What’s the easiest to learn for a beginner? I’m old, my only real experience with drafting is high school paper and pencil, but I can draw my ideas and know how to read a technical drawing.

    I live in Australia and it's awesome, but

    check out Total Chaos www.chaosfab.com for their expedition series control arms for a ton of Toyota platforms. IMO Toyotas can almost not be beat when it comes to all things offroad and the ability to put bolt on parts and tunable shocks under them you can have so much fun. id personally at...

    Getting factory seats reupholstered?

    Hete is the driver sets all done, it was the seat from the last picture with the hole in the seat. Way firmer/ fuller seat cushioning. Passenger seat will be done next week and the fabric matches my factory tan pretty damn good. I like it! Guess we will see how it wears and breaks in. EDIT...

    Automotive painting

    Adam, I have the space, some paint guns, a compressor, and a 4runner or two we can practice on. I have wanted to paint shit too for ever, just never figured out time to do it again. But with some motivation and friend there we could figure something out. I painted a 3 rail motor cycle once...

    Getting factory seats reupholstered?

    Finally getting some where… got quoted $700 for both front seats to be rebuilt and re upholstered. I am not thrilled with the price, but I told my neighbor how much it was locally and I assume he told his upholstery guy in TJ what the price was because it’s exactly half of what it was going be...

I need to bend some 2" x .080" aluminum 90 degrees with a 1" radius at the corner. Trying to build a coolant surge tank with a one...
