    Well I did it now. I went out and got me a new toy for offroading and can't wait to mod it out. I'm planning on letting my buddies with the Zukicrawler club do most of the modding for me. I am planning on a very capable rig for anything and everything but asphalt.

    Very Cool!!

    You've got all fall & winter to get it completed!

    Chop chop!!! :D

    But seriously....that's a big project you've got ahead of you. Stay focused.

    I've known several people over the years who started project rigs and never finished them (never got'em on the trails). Don't sit on it too long or time will pass you by. GIT R DUN!!! MOTIVATION!!

    You are 100% correct!! I have thought about that. The biggest issue is $$$$. But with my freinds at work, friends with the Toyota Trail Riders, and the good folks of Tacomaworld I think I would keep going. I hope?


    That's kind of what I was after.

    I gave 750 beans for her. I'm not much on turning wrenches but have alot of friends with the know how. I'll be getting alot of input from some guys here from a local zuki club. I'm wanting maybe 4-5" lift with some 34 or 35" tires and may stick to about 33". I don't plan to make it to big.:rolleyes: :pray:

    Well it's been a long time coming. But after several months of buying parts here and there, at the right price, I've started the build. Still need some more parts that shouldn't be a problem to get. Hope to have it it done in a few weeks. Here are some pics of the build....

    This is was it was...
