So I'll go ahead and start a project thread anyways, even though its non-Toyota. Vegas you can eat a dick if you don't like it.

Truck got dropped off this week. As of today most of the parts are in, and its getting rolled inside tomorrow to start tear down.

Not pictures are the valves and air tank. A few things are still in transit.

Plans are as follows:
Toyota axle
Toyota front clip (stock suspension is worked and parts are hard to come by, also Toyota's have better geometry and more usable travel)
Formed sheetmetal upper arms
Tube lower arms
Bilstein shocks all around
Contitech 2500 up front
Firestone F9000 out back
Gravity Werx 4-link
Traditional bodydrop to the rocker
No bed floor
14" steel wheels with white walls

No worries.

Right now I am torn between two buildings. One in Windsor, one in Healdsburg. They are within 10 minutes of each other though, so drive time would be virtually the same.
