RU-vid Junky . Totally agree. I had one from new in England. Great off road and even better when you remembered to lock the front hubs.

Paul - Your fabrication skills always just totally amaze me. I have never had any experience with welding or metal fabrication, and your fearless sense of adventure in just creating what you envision I find awesome and uplifting. I am always amazed by how totally inadequate commercial off-road vehicles are built by their manufacturers to do the job they are supposed to do. If manufacturers just beefed their frames and running components up by 10%, you'd have half the work you currently have resurrecting "totaled" vehicles like this one. I also like your family's involvement in everything you do, and especially Michelle's support and involvement - she's a gem!

@thestig007 3 года назад

Love the idea of taking a totaled truck, rebuilding it to be stronger and better than original.

Obviously an old build! You’ve come a long way Paul. I like the fact You did a basic Toyota and not an over the top build. Great job.

@Adrian_Nel 4 года назад

Saw the straight axle and the form-follows-function bed on Matts off-road recovery, and I knew that I'd like this vehicle.

@FabRats 4 года назад

Thanks for the kind words! And thanks a ton for watching!

@Mikefestiva 4 года назад

Nice work! Sometimes when it’s mangled you just got to get in there and start cutting! I’m always surprised just how thin all the frame metal is on these trucks, I was just looking at the frame on my brothers Dodge Diesel 3/4 ton and the frame were the bumper mounts is ridiculously thin. That really turned out good 👍

@FabRats 4 года назад

Yeah, they definitely don’t make them like they used to. We’ve got a video on our other channel that shows how tough the older trucks really are! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zwpjRRjOwZg.html Check it out! And thanks so much for watching!

@johnguilfoyle3073 3 года назад

Did this get any frame straightening first? My brief time in a Body Shop taught me that the frame shop can pull the bent pieces back to factory measurements before removing anything? They have the tools and the measurements to relieve the stresses caused by the accident.

@SOLDADITO76 4 года назад

Funny that everyone wants a SAS under there IFS truck. I originally bought a 84’ single cab 4x4. Bed was shot of course, so I went with a 94’ bare extended cab and bed and got everything to jive on the 84’ frame. No SAS needed already had it. If I want a newer truck I will just switch the cab and bed since the frame and drive train is how I want it set up. Not all that hard to move the fuel tank to the driver’s side, I may just keep it on the passenger side to really put a spin on people’s head. Glad to see you pulled the trigger on saving your rig brother.

I haven't been watching your RU-vid for long I noticed when I saw you on Matt's RU-vid that your truck had a front axle as well is this the first or second modification to a Toyota Tacoma you have done I have a 2011 I wonder if a front axle is more stable then independent axle

Not the worst situation really. The 2015 was the last year before the power upgrade in these. Straight axles are the way to go and a big reason I love my ‘97 Land Cruiser (last year for the straight axles) Also like how you guys are good about beveling edges on the welded joints which makes for more weld zone and more strength as a result.
