2nd gen with a 1st gen feel... sorry if its a repost

from SEMA '08

Kicker_Of_Elves · 03-16-2009, 08:48 AM

Its a repost but its a glorious repost

Is that a 3'' lift on it or a 6''?

Dark Knight · 03-16-2009, 08:50 AM

It was sick to see in person here is some more pics.

note the solid front axel

brown inside with manual 4x4 shifter

Blackened Taco · 03-16-2009, 08:55 AM

That thing rocks, I love the retro look. I would love that grille and the headlights. Also would love to have my manual 4WD shifter back like on all my other Toyota trucks. Is that a solid axle I see too?

Wow...That's nice. I'd drive it....like I stole it!!

dwalden2 · 03-16-2009, 09:28 AM

I wish they still had the manual 4x4 shifter. My old '94 had the locking hubs and the 4x4 stick. While I'm glad I don't have to get out and lock the hubs anymore, I do miss that shifter. I don't know why. Just always been more partial to that than the knob. My dad used to have an '88 in that beige/yellow color with the brown stripes. Ahh...the good old days.

A.D. · 03-16-2009, 10:25 AM

Seen it and still love it. I really like how they filled in the spot under the taillights so its not all ugly with a cool bumper!!

dwalden2 · 03-16-2009, 12:45 PM

I'm not too crazy about the interior. But it is a bad truck

Not bad at all, I like it.

Yeah the interior sucked ass, but the rest is sweet. I want a roll pan and back bumper like this truck. The grill is pretty sick too.

hillbillytaco · 03-16-2009, 02:02 PM

it has an airbag switch too

jdkeller · 03-16-2009, 02:21 PM

Perfect. The tan dash is raunchy tho

TacoCo · 03-16-2009, 02:25 PM

If they made a double cab production version, I'd buy one in a heartbeat.

madmartigan · 03-28-2010, 01:51 PM

dose anyone know what kinda of bushguard that is or where you can get one?

KPT · 03-28-2010, 03:55 PM

Seen it before a few times, but I just noticed for the first time that the inside of the bed is white!

Idrivetoys · 03-28-2010, 03:57 PM

i absolutely love to look at it, but i couldn't do it to my own, but will give crazy props to those who do

ywen · 03-28-2010, 04:04 PM

Sorry nothing retro about that truck.

I understand old school drive train however look-wise, it's bad mash-up of the newer-bigger-bulgier styling with old-school color and that silly out-of-scale bumper guard.

A stock 2nd gen looks way better than that silly SEMA attempt IMO.

That being said, the newer Tacomas will never match these original beauties in the looks department

uood8 · 03-28-2010, 04:09 PM

info about it:

The Tacoma Truck Concept, coated in a cream pearl exterior and retro stripes that had us fondly reminiscing about our first off-road experience in the 80s. A four-cylinder engine is mated to a four-speed automatic gearbox and a four-wheel-drive system (4x4x4) pulled from Landcruiser, featuring a solid front axle, transfer case and Toyota Motorsport rear axle. A custom roll bar and front grill joins KC Daylighter six-inch lights, Bushwacker fender flares and American Racing AR-23 wheels. And the exterior isn't the only thing retro about this Tacoma. According to our man Mike Levine from Pickuptrucks.com, the seats are swathed in 20-year-old Recaro fabric that the Toyota crew found in the corner of their warehouse.
