so now here is the long over due update. the cantilever suspension is done and has been tested for bind and clearance. she preforms flawlessly on 40s with around 25" frame height. I measured 18" of travel yesterday and was limited by the floor. We have a few things taken care of up front as...

these were put up on several other forums but some how I neglected to get them posted here few little update photos of the progress. front axel pulled and cleaned up. ready to get the ARB and gears installed and a free coat of paint Pitman arm version 2.0 this one is built using a Sky...

Re: Re: Re: Dynamite Design - Tacoma T-Rex this is correct. I was in TN about a week ago and ask a DOT officer what the law reads. He informed me that ANY modification from stock was illegal. I asked him if that meant that steering components could not be welded and he said all modification is...

Time for a long over due update. the shop move is for the most part DONE!!!! It was painful at best. we still have some issue to get taken care of. We have to figure out where all the current machines are going to go and what machine we plan to have in the future will go. The they must be...

almost forgot located at the new Dynamite Design shop in Lexington NC

I have a dana 44 low pinion with a width of 68" for sale. it was the original axel that was in T-rex before we started building it. I was told it was out of a Ford but it looks more like a Waggy axel to me. build sheet includes Spartan locker, Yukon 4.88 gears, chromoly inner shafts. stock u...

the "T" is short for "Tacoma-Saurus". Rex…well that means "king" way better than naming it after some item on the Taco bell menu…that makes we want to :puke:

As promised a much over due update. We have actually been able to put a little time into T-Rex and make some progress, and we have a little time allotted in the near future to get the rear knocked out and get the rig standing up. We have had some major advancements in the progression and growth...

As you can see we had a productive weekend. We managed to finish the shock hoops, stand T-Rex up, and fire the engine. The rear end is completely tore out now and ready for us to move back there when the front is tied up. We are waiting on some parts to finish the front up, parts to finish the...

Wanted to post up a little progress report. Shock hoops are going in. T-Rex should be standing on her front this weekend. David and I wanted to share these and show the customized version of our production shock hoops for the 05+ tacoma SAS kit we are developing. Every component already has a...

Thank you all for your complements and support, from both of us. I am not sure if any of you have seen any of the 05+ Tacoma SAS that have been done yet, but I wanted to give you a little insight as to what we are trying to do with this rig. All of the 05+ Tacoma SAS that have been built to...

Next a crossmember skid plate was built to support the transmission, crawl box and transfer case. mounts were built to bolt the complete assembly to the frame so that it is easy to drop out and service the drive train should the need arise you can see the OEM hack modified...

We have had to relocate the engine bay fuse and relay box due to where the shock towers and coil overs are going. A bracket was built from aluminum to hold the fuse block in its new location. All wiring has been extended

A set of bead locks were built and sent out to DJ Powdercoating in Kernersville NC. When the wheels came back tires were mounted, and the truck was flexed on jack stand with floor jacks to check for any clearance issues.

Frame brackets were put on and links were mocked up with PVC until the aluminum links arrived. All the axel brackets were fabricated in house. the frame brackets came from an outside source and will be replaced sooner or later. axel lower link brackets axel upper link bracket

At some point we put the new brake master cylinder in. Due to the larger calipers and disc on all four corners we went to a 1 ton T-100 master cylinder. A simple adapter is used between the master cylinder and booster, nothing new there. The pushrod inside the booster had to be extended, and...

As you can tell from the base line photos, one of the ugliest parts of the truck and most time consuming to fix is the frame stiffening plates that were added to give rigidity to the front section of the frame and remove the front end crumple zone. David and I discussed several approaches to...

the drive train went in first. An Inchworm crawl box, Tacoma adapter plate and FJ Crusier Auto T-case went in. The first two pictures show original position of the T-case. it was later clocked 15* after T-Case was clocked The crawler is just a standard Inchworm Taco box with 4.7:1 gear...

This is the day the truck rolled in to David's shop. as you can tell I had all ready completed most of the body work and added some fiberglass fenders and bedsides. tear down went very fast transmission ready for a taco box and FJ crusier manual T-case Front tore out shop...

At some point during my parts gathering phase and while I was building my axels I decided to shave my front and rear Dana 60, which were both purchased from NC4x4 members. I was pointed to David Guest by another member on NC4x4. David swung by the house one evening and picked up the axels and a...
