PREPARING TO PULL THE MOTOR | TOYOTA TACOMA TRUGGY BUILD

I am getting ready to pull the motor out of this 2005 Toyota Tacoma. I am building this truck, or whats going to be left of the original truck into a truggy.
Fully frame fabrication, new transfer case, one ton axles, 42' tires, 4 links front and rear. It's going to be intense and this is only the beginning!!!

    Trent, here are just a few of my thoughts after reading all the comments. 1. My wife and I have binged watched all the T&A videos after first seeing you on Wild Wonderful Off Grid, we are retired, and we enjoy wholesome content for our entertainment, and we have a lot of time on our hands. 2. What a great blessing it is to have all the hard work you and Allie put into your KZread channel to make enough funds to be able to pay your way and also hire your best friend to help you build your dreams and have a blast doing it. By the way Brandon is awesome and you two work well together. 3. Lighting is just fine and no need to take a boatload of pictures, just play back you video's and reverse the process. 4. I don't mind you talking thru the projects, that's a big reason why your other channel is such a big success, the interaction between you and Allie. Now it's guy time, in a garage, you and Bradon can clown around all you want, longer videos would be just fine. It'll be great. 5. Last but not least, just keep doing what you're doing. Trent, look at all you've accomplished in 35 years of life, a beautiful family, traveled the world, built vans and a great home with your own hands, a new business to provide for your family, you're living the dream that most will never have the opportunity to live. Thank God for these blessings and I'd like to thank you and Allie for letting us be part of your life's journey.

    Oh, this got me emotional because I share your sentiments. It's just amazing watching how hard Trent works, thinks outside the box, and is not afraid to fail. He corrects things when they go wrong. He has a beautiful wife, his partner, and a good friend (Brandon) working alongside him. He is a family man who loves his mom, his grandparents, his in-laws, and his sisters. There are not so many Trents out there, and my tears are with awe because of the impression he leaves on me. Has anyone noticed when his beautiful, kind-hearted wife complements him? He always says thank you. It may be a simple thing, but he'll always say thank you. 👏 I say thank you for visiting my house via your videos on both channels. God bless you abundantly. 🙏 Love from the United Kingdom ❤.

And I know it really is your house and garage. Actually, my favorite part is that you have to move stuff out of the way to work. Just like 99% of the rest of us trying to fab.

    The lighting looks good to me. I've been working on cars for over 20 years now and most of the manufacturers have main connectors for disconnecting the engine harness from the body so you don't have to unhook each individual wire from the engine. It saves a lot of time and headaches. Its kinda nice watching someone else do this kind of work for a change. Keep up the good work.

    Definitely tie the frame to the lift. Measure for clearance / protection for oil pan transfer case, tranny before you cut off clip. Plan to possibly cut out floor pan for transfer case, driveshaft? Rack or steering box? Layout the new chassis and all the pick up points with motor pulled. Tack all of the new chassis together and move suspension up and down (w/out coil overs) check all clearance with wheels turned right and left etc) in the event that you need to make structural adjustments with new tube frame. Fox coil overs have a ton of travel as you guys know. You guys are awesome, I’m enjoying every upload. Oh, and the lighting is better. Looks like a blast!

    Trent, I like the running commentary. Knowing what's running through your mind adds to the video. As far as lighting, the general lighting is great. Whenever you are underneath the truck or working "Under the hood" you need supplemental lighting, either small pods or head lamps. Most camera's will attempt to adjust for lighting but if there are dark areas, below bright areas, they can't adjust for both at the same time.

    Hey Trent, I did this same job for a friend, to a point. I was repairing the rusted frame on an 05 Taco. I managed to have it stripped down to the frame and axles in about 8-10 hours. I found out that it wasn't necessary to remove the fenders. I lifted the bed, then lifted the cab and front end as one unit. That made lifting the engine, transmission and transfer case as one. Took a little longer to put it all back together.

Not going to introduce her to Garage channel as I know it will not be for her. I like stuff being pulled apart and rebuilt. I also like Branden because he waits in the background and then when he see's the opportunity he helps where most needed. BTW if I was young, handsome, rich and humorous ... I would of invited Ally on a van trip before you.
