Has anyone heard from Taco Chris.

[Guest2]

Same...he told me just busy with the truck...he's a good dude, as evident by all of Yall's concern.

I just talked to him. He is recovering from the superbowl. He is one of Rianna's back up dancers and had been practicing their routine for weeks. If you watched the halftime show he was the dancer wearing the white outfit.

Lol You guys are funny.
Im still around but thanks for asking!
Yeah like Paul said, Im knee deep in alot of heavy fabrication on my show truck and working on a 79 Toyota Corona on the side so the bikes kinda had to take a back seat until at least until March. Bikes are still safe and sound, just covered in alot of metal dust currently. Lol

Great to hear you're still at it Chris, post some pic's on the Cabe of your truck progress for us who aren't Instagramers. Thanks

Lol...Ive got a handful of crusty slammed cruisers under my belt already. This one is a fancy-schmancy one and will be fully painted and nice.

Here is an older picture from last year right after I finished the air suspension.
I tore it back down a few months ago, cut and raised the front suspension, built customer lower control arms with custom shocks and Im in the middle of redoing the rear tubs to have a bit more room. Truck is basically completely custom sitting on a 2wd pickup frame and tubed, notched, narrowed and all the suspension is one-off from my garage.
Its 1.5 lower now from the first picture:

Definitely the first time I’ve seen a second generation 4Runner that’ll lay frame! You definitely have your work cut out for ya on that one! I have been noticing more and more of the mini trucks of the 80’s and early 90’s showing up at the shows. Should be plenty of room for the LS and turbo too! Lmao! Goin full through back on the paint too?

Hey I know that dude. Lol

Yeah ive been building minitrucks since around 94/95 at this point so it just feels like its always been my "thing". Minitrucks and bicycles....I think this would be the 5th or 6th show-style minitruck Ive built at this point but I always wanted an SUV so when this came up I went full steam.
The graphics are ok and I love em...but I drive this thing far too much and Im more concerned with chips and paint matching and things like that so it may be a very simple paint job in the end. As far as the motor goes, its a built stroker 22R toyota motor right now so i will rock that for some time and if I swap out I will move to an EFI tacoma 3RZ. I like em slow and low....Lol
I may channel it 1.5" later this year so it lays rocker but Im getting old and sore so that may not ever happen. Laying frame may be just fine for me.

The forerunner he is building is wicked awesome, he builds some fantastic cars. He previously built a VW Karmann Giha that would give up most of my bikes too have.

It's Ghia Paul, not Giha.. Ha, your funny.. RideOn..
