Can't wait to see it. I love those SEMA toyota trucks. Remember that 80's style taco?

 

that would be sweet in my DC.

 

hummm i want to see pictures and time slips. I wonder how they get that beast to hook up instead of just roasting the wheels. they must have some wide ass tires on the back.

 

Here it is.

Impressive. I can't believe they stuffed a supercharged 5.7L V8 in the Tacoma and only put on 150 lbs over stock (I'm guessing that thing is stripped inside)! From the pictures it actually looks like it fits, I expected the engine bay to be extremely cramped. Now that we know it can be done, who's going to be guinnea pig for TW and post a DIY thread?
