I've had a lot of fun and learned soo much playin with this truck over the last decade, started out not knowing even how to weld lol.
Future plans are a motor and trans swap to a LS platform. I may convert it to Ocho 4wd beams or the homie Mitchmade beams and just delete the 4wd since I have a seperate 4wd rig now.FB_IMG_1699316751926.jpgScreenshot_20230514_001145_Instagram.jpg20230723_201345.jpg
 
Hey Travis, good to see your build over here.
We dm'ed a couple times on TW about one of your racks (different user name).
Hope fire season wasn't too bad this year. I flew out to San Francisco and San Jose a couple times in the Spring. Flying into Cali looking out the window, I was amazed at how much snow fell last year. At one point I couldn't see land anywhere out the window.
Anyways hope all is well!
 
I need to see this thing in person one of these years. So much awesome rolled up into this Tacoma!
