While I was away on a trip my buddy Dan and three other homies went hard for 3 days, tackling the rock sliders, roll bar, more bed cage work, some sheet metal work, and figured out how we can mount this camper. Having the roll bar come between the cab and the bedsides ended up being the perfect...

Very good points. I’ve looked a little into the ram assist conversion, I think this is something I’ll maybe save up for to do down the road. We did cycle the suspension with the tire on at full bump and steer. It’s damn close but we’re clear, we did end up cutting right into the door hinge. I...

How we doin everybody, happy new year! We’re still chipping away on the truck, and finally tackling the firewall tub. The quest for 35s is what got me into this rabbit hole and now here we are fitting 37s. Has anyone here built any custom hydro assist for an IFS build like this? Little...

I’ve been trying out the Versus All Mountain tires this season on a few of my bikes, it’s a similar tread pattern to the DHR. Comes in two compounds, a trail casing and a gravity casing, close to an EXO plus and a DD. Only in 27.5 and 29, and also only comes in 2.4 width. Definitely more of a...

Love the nerd out on tires, favourite topic for myself, especially with the Maxxis stuff as I’ve done a lot of testing for them over the years. I ran the aggressor on the rear of my lighter duty“trail” bikes for a number of years. Fast rolling for sure, great characteristics but if you’re...

Best all around Maxxis combo with the Assegai up front and the DHR2 out the rear. I would recommend the DD casing for equal reliability. Could go EXO plus if your a bit of a weight weenie but wouldn’t recommend EXO or less

Not sure when I’ll be back out that way, hopefully make a trip out at some point this winter 🤞🏽

Haha, the “Handler” is also a Dan quote that I’ve adopted. I don’t think the “Handlers” like the name so much though 😂 Still trying to come up with a plan for the rear glass. Somehow got sent another set of 5.5ft bedsides but in the 7” bulge this time which I had asked for but when I had put...

Forgot to add this photo with the other one of my new trail bike, the BLGT stem cap was nice final touch 👌🏽

Thanks man, we all need a Dan in our lives! He’s the biggest beauty I know, wouldn’t be able to do this without him that’s for sure!

Forgot to mention that I’ve also gone to a one piece driveshaft that was built by Pat’s Driveline. Awesome guys, they build a lot of drivelines for the homies, and they gave me a wicked deal. Stoked they put the Stump Vice Racing stamp on it also!

Been a little bit since I’ve shared the progress on the taco. It’s been a busy summer/ fall for myself and haven’t had a lot of time to get after it on the project. I got to give my buddy Dan the biggest shout out for helping me build this truck. He works two weeks on two weeks off and has two...

Appreciate all the feedback, I think I’m leaning more towards ordering the 6.5ft bedsides and trying to sell my 5.5ft ones before I cut them up and destroy them. Attached a photo of how we were thinking of mounting the fibreglass on top of the rear end of the stock bedside utilizing the stock...

So it’s been a while since I updated this and I’ve got a question for all the wizards on here. Been slowly chipping away and making decent progress, got my axle all built up and trussed. Got the bed cage built, frame boxed, rear shocks mounted including the bumps, and brakes. All that’s really...

Yeah they seem really cool. When I first got this truck I seen photos online of Kodas Tacoma with the GFC and I wanted one ever since. Just seemed like the best of both worlds with having a canopy/ tent and being able to possibly mount a boat or canoe up top. For the bike hauling with this...
