So I have done a build thread on my old Mazda on MazdaBScene, a customers mighty max on MightyD50Scene, so I might as well start another one on YotaScene....right?

Anyway, I am now building a tacoma for another customer. The truck came to me a "little" haggard, but had 22's on it, so at least one good start. The plans are a 2 pump www.Hydroholics.net hydraulic setup, an IRS out of a RX7, shortened wheel base to use the 4 door bedsides, a 2 1/2" stock floor body drop using new 2X3 rails, and some extras.

Here is how I got the truck...

after one days work I had the cab stripped of all its wires and the nasty back half of the frame cut off.

The second day I removed the cab from the frame and started to lay out the new suspension. The rear end is now squared up and welded in place on my "frame table".

And just for fun, a mock up of what the rear end will look like.

The pivots for the rear arms are not done yet. The cylinder will be mounted off that tube.

Got some stuff done today. Closed in the ends where the bushings used to be on the sub frame. Put some 45 pieces in the frame for strength. Put a cut out in the crossmember for the exhaust. Closed off the ends of the frame rails under the sub frame. Put an overlay on the niside of the frame rails up front. Ect. Ect.

what exactly did you do with that spindle? I see the balljoint was swapped for a spherical, but are the spacers to make it essentially a drop spindle? and is it really safe? Not doubting you, just wondering as I've never seen that...
