You've reach my little truck experiment. It's a long travel 1999 5 lug toyota tacoma that I've done pretty much all the work in my garage. I've learned how to build this truck by lurking build threads for years. It's not too pretty to look at and isn't a race truck by any means. Just a fun weekend desert truck that is pretty high maintenance.
This is the most current pics
Ran a roof mounted light bar up front for a few months. I reinforced under the mounts with plating. I didn't like it because it took about 3mpg away from city and hwy. Also my peripheral view was killed because it only shines forward. Plus huge glass reflection. It is going behind the cab when I want to take another attempt at it.
