Sweet work. Just got a Tacoma and got the same lift. Need tires and wheels still . Nice Fab work. Wish I had those skills. Would save me some money. Lol. Thanks for the motivation, Keep it up.
 
Really nice job on the Taco! Love that it gets out and gets used for what it's been built for.
Good stuff. Keep sharing the adventures, too.
