Toyota Prerunner Truck - The Black Pearl

ESB's steering kit boasts fully fabricated pitman and idler arms and is an easy bolt-on.

"I couldn't just leave the truck looking generic," Kevin comments. These trim panels between the main 'cage tubes and the bedsides are part of an aesthetics campaign. The panels not only look great, they also help enclose the wheels. This means less time on the side of the road talking to Buford T. Justice.

Open wiiiiide! Giant Motorsports' one-piece hood-and-fender combo has room for acres of bumptravel. When removed, it allows unimpeded access to the engine and front suspension.

ESB Fabrications has closed its doors, but ESB products live on through trucks like Kevin's. This front end is about 5.5 inches wider per side and produces 18 inches of clean wheel travel.

Not all Toyota pickups want to be Tundras when they grow up, but the bigger truck's headlights add just the right personality to the enlarged front clip.

Kevin took the front end a step further and called on Shawn St. George's fabrication talents to craft a set of TIG-welded lift spindles that blend flawlessly with the ESB kit. The St. George spindles give much-needed ground clearance on deeply rutted two-track.

Long-travel leaf packs are easy to mount on the frame via custom spring hangers and custom shackles. The spring-under conversion minimizes axlewrap and maximizes bumptravel.

Giant Motorsports long-travel shackles attach to the top of the framerail and give the leaf packs a bind-free range of motion.
