    I know it'st not a taco but just wanted to share build so far.

    Removed gas tank and will f-150 tank relocate to rear.
    Ruffstuff 9" with 35mm chromoly with 4.57s. I actually found aultra 4 4400 racer getting rid of a spare rear so I grabbed it and rebuilt it to my needs.
    Grizzly locker in rear ARB locker in front
    4 link setup with 14" kings on the rear

    Solo Motorsports up front. Next year I'm thinking I will sell the front setup and get their XLT setup. D44 hubs sound nice for the front. I will be upgrading steering

    A cage and seats will be next with many other upgrades coming

    Subscribed for sure. I like the full commitment to this project. Not many people willing to put this much into a 4th gen rear 4 link.
    Damn I wish I had a lift and a 2 car bay.
    I'm going with an FJ tank which is a few inches shorter to clear up some room, but I like your idea of just going with a full relocation.
    A cage is not in the budget right now, but I'm probably going to regret not planning for it. So far my LT is just a bunch of boxed up parts and a hole in my wallet. Mid travel I have in it right now is fun though. Yours will be a beast. It looks like your upper shock mounts will be in the cab? Is this a V6 or V8?

    This is a 3rd gen V6.
    Yes, my rear coilovers will be coming into the cab. I am working on that this week.

    I'll be damned. Guess Ive got 4th gen on the brain. Shoulda noticed the door handle and the rear mounted rack.
    I was looking for a 3rd gen when I stumbled on the V8. Looking forward to the build though!

    Put her on the ground for the first time in a couple months. She sets perfect and I can't wait to send her. Still have alot of odds and end to do but the brunt of it is complete.20211004_164348.jpg 20211004_165729.jpg 20211004_170232.jpg 20211004_170251.jpg 20211004_164348.jpg 20211004_165729.jpg 20211004_170232.jpg 20211004_170251.jpg

    Killer, lets see the frame side link mounts. What's the plan for gas tank? This is the direction I want to head on my runner.

    They are usually perusing the "will it rub" threads.

    I wish the mods would create a will it rub forum as a safe space for those types of questions.
