    I agree, it would be awesome to see an X-Runner come back with the full ground effects kit.

    Im in for the photos . I enjoy owning both 4 wheel drive and 2 wheel drive trucks, a 2wd truck is not safe around me.

    Here is a photo of my recent 1980 C10. full custom.

    You lowered a 4x4? Now it's just a giant Subaru!

    i wish it was a giant subaru, then it would have AWD and not 4wd :pout: may be able to mount transfer case from an old 4runner to get 'awd'... might be worth looking into so that 4wd can be run on pavement for extra grip

    Dude, that is righteous! I like it a lot!

    The transfer case from manual transmission FJ Cruisers were full time 4wd with a center differential I believe. To my knowledge no one has done this swap tho. Theoretically would bolt up I think. The 6 speed was the same in the FJ and Tacoma. Guys usually swap in the transfer case from auto FJs as they are selectable.

    I used a kit from Tundraracing, back is leaf under axle and front is replacing stock strut perches with custom made ones. everything you need is in the kit. there is one for the sport and one for the 4x4. Guys there are very helpful
