 Mike was originally brought into the scene through one vehicle he found himself drooling over day in day out. One of his friend's roommates was a minitrucker and Mike saw where his future would lead him. With being involved in the scene for 6 years now, 4 of it was spent cutting and changing the Taco found before you. With three suspensions, three different sets of wheels, two different interiors, two different stereo systems, and two paint jobs later, what we have brought before you is one of the finest Taco's around. Getting things going on this "BurnTaco" would be Mikes welding skills at there finest. The rear frame rails where boxed from the cab back using 3/16-inch steel by Shawn at DFC while Mike was attending class at school. With the frame boxed, a parallel reversed triangulated 4-link provided by a local race shop, The Rod Shop, would then be mounted up. In the company of bag mounts, a set of 26c Firestone airbags where installed for adjustability and the use of Monroe shocks where put in place for a smoother ride.

 Currently with the back sitting comfortably on the ground, it was time for Mike to spend some time on the front of the Taco. For starters the ball joints would need to be flipped. Subsequently Mike would then weld up brackets where a set of Firestone 26c bags would be housed along with Monroe shocks for the smooth ride. Not happy with the overall clearance and spark display, the next decision would be to body drop the Taco 3 ΒΌ-inches.
