Meridians ROTM: Tacoma build!!!!!!!!!!!

With the rear under its own wait, the shocks were the next logical step. Running 14 in Pro Comp 3000's front, and 12 in rear.

Had a tough time getting Ford shock towers so ended up making my own. Started sectioning out tube with a few bends and welds. Inner fenders got a little more wieght taken out. To keep drivers side clean I took small pieces off bottom next to steering box. This proved to be a bad idea.

The rear shocks needed a crossmember, using 1X2 directly above axle on top of frame. It ended up stiffening up sagging box mounts.

Rear bumper with a little bit of side armour was made out of 2X4 and 2X2.

The shackle tabs ended up a little closer together than thought. Weird how that works from on the bench to the truck.
