JD's Big Taco 2 Build.

Hello and welcome to my big taco 2 thread. This is my 2nd, 2nd gen Tacoma and I feel like I'm really doing it right this time. I want to outfit it with exactly what I want this time (it's really difficult to be patient though).

I originally started out with a 2006 AC 4x4 SR5 and ran a spacer lift with 33's and beat the shit out of that truck as any other 18 year old (at the time) would do. I fell in love with Tacoma's size and capability




I knew exactly what I wanted and ordered my new truck while I was overseas and picked it upon my arrival home. I wanted a TRD OR only because I wanted a locking rear diff from the factory.
The Plans for the new truck are simple Build the most capable truck possible. I bought the truck knowing it will either see long travel or a solid axle after it goes completely out of warranty and is paid for. I plan on keeping this truck for the rest of my life, I wish I still had my 06 because she would be a built MOFO. Right now I'm stuck between whether I want to build a crawler or wan't to go fast; so mid travel is perfect for now. I don't want every little simple mod under the sun where the truck and I want the truck to be clean like the truck came from the factory with whatever modification I do to it.



Also when I get back from deployment this fall I plan on purchasing a bunch of go pro equipment and making some bad ass videos.

Looks good man. Where in norcal are you? Check out the norcal sub forum.

 

Thanks man, I'm up here in Yuba City.

Having Issues making the pictures big. I right clicked and there is no option to copy image location. Not sure what is going on with that. I'm using Internet Explorer and oddly it doesn't give you the option.

 

More Pics.

 

You like driving up on things don't you..!

 

Ha that's mall crawling at it's finest!

 

Where was this? I've seen another person post pictures here and I've been wanting to take my truck out there.

 

It was at that motocross track under the bridge in Marysville. It's was literally 5 minutes from my house. Used to be way to easy to go crawling in my truck.

 

Just wanted everyone to know I will be reunited with my baby tommorow its been 7 long months since I've seen her.
