I'm just about to raise my exhaust and run the pipe through the bedside like that - did you tuck the cats up higher as well? Any pictures of that stuff?

Sounds good. I’m in Vegas but sand hollow is some of my favorite wheeling. Trucks in pieces right now so maybe I’ll make something in the future.
Thanks man. I doubt this truck will ever see links. If it does It get linked front first and trailing arms rear. I think it’ll be to much work to try and make everything work so if I wanted to do links id probably pick up a 5 lug or something and start fresh. Probably do a street legal buggy instead with your usual parts list instead though.
I have some somewhere. Replaced the 2nd cat with a smaller one to clear the new crossmember. I’ll post em later

Here’s some pictures of the exhaust. Reuses the original front cat. Goes to a smaller one over the crossmember and then some 90s and short pieces out the bed. Works okay.

Anyone have a bead roller? Looking to do some panels for the truck and need some recommendations. Manual or electric. Just trying to not break the bank.

Haha which one do you have?yeah, you can use mine.
And who the fuck knows. This forum has its ups and downs. Depends how much money tcbob loses when his unmoderated mods ban important people, then everyone comes here and someone up top removes the bans.
Because it's not finished.
Sure as hell isnt ifs anymore
I'll consider it SFA when it's rolling on its own power.

As it should be. Your build is way badass. Wish I did it that way the first time.
Stock as fuck man.

Solid axles are welcome here, but the whole point of this forum is just to have a place that is IFS oriented, rather than vehicle model specific. There really isn't many people that actually build their IFS rigs to do hardcore shit, whereas SAS's are dime a dozen. So of course there will always be more hardcore SAS trucks than built IFS trucks anywhere you go.
I am byaxle. I have two ifs and one SA. My dream is to be tryaxle one IFS one SA and one SAS.Shots fired...

I just want to wheel big rocks. I don't give a fuck what I'm driving as long as it can hang.
My son just brought a tear to my eyes. I asked him what his long term plans are with the 05 Tacoma and he said. First get a DD then SAS it.

I only went SAS because a 3" lift for the Isuzu was more than 3g by the time I was done buying shit.
Or, buy an axle for 100 bucks, rebuild it for 500 bucks, get hardware for 150 bucks, buy brake lines and 2 driveshafts for 1000 bucks, and drive it away.
It's a no damn brainer.

Not gonna lie, its hot out and progress has slowed significantly. Got the shock towers welded and figured out my gussets for the bump stop cans. They'll be all one piece and tie into the shock tower some how.
