Those are allpro long travel 5" lift springs with only 700 street miles up front and chevy 63s out back. I need to do something about that overload spring.
I know where that is, you work off Ralston. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

Uh oh. How'd you know that? Yeah, there aren't too many parking lots better for flexing than that one. You work around Belmont or something? Should stop by sometime this week (my last week there) and get some dual flexin shots on the hill!

These pictures are like 800k a piece because I never resized them. But you should be able to see a bit more of the bumper. Also checkout the www.bentup.com (http://www.bentup.com) website. That's the dude that did the fabrication for the SAS and made my front and rear bumpers and sliders. So he has a few more pictures on his website for it.
The bumper basically mounts in 4 places to the spring hangar. The hangar was drilled and tapped with 4 holes before it was welded up during the swap. Then brackets were welded up to the bumper that lined up with the hangar. You get the idea.

The front bumper was made by AJ at bentup.com. He does good work. Most of his stuff is for Toyota but he'll make anything you want.
It's jesse's new invis-dable (invisible) driveline. Weighs nothing, costs nothing, and works as if nothing was there! haha. No, I just haven't regeared yet and there's no sense in putting the axle back together if I'm just going to take it back apart to get regeared.
No front shaft yet because I want to let those springs settle a bit. Everyone else gets about 2" of sag out of them but I want to wait and see what I get a few weeks from now.

Very sweet taco!
I've been impressed with all the tacoma's I've seen offroad. I have some pictures of a white one w/ a solid axle, atlas II, and exo-cage. I'll post em tomorrow if you'd like.
