Pretty sure I read his build, way bad.

700 sounds good

 

You need this

 

Too long.

 

But 54”s

 

But come on now, let’s be a little practical.

 

37s are pretty practical, they're in the realm of what you can reasonably run on a stock cruiser, and because the military uses them you can usually get military take offs for pennies on the dollar

 

Cruisers are pretty bad ass I guess...

 

Gov planet, good place to get all your military surplus needs

 

Just get a 1st gen tundra and sas

 

No lockers and IFS

 

Sawp in fj80 axels front and rear

 

Why not just get an FJ80?

I’m confused by that logic

 

Because pickup truck
@Speedytech7 said he gunna swap a fj axel into his taco

 

They really are worth it. Maintenance is more money typically and you should expect to spend around 3k getting it sorted out and rock solid if it doesn't come from a well maintained past. But it is the most solid vehicle I've ever driven, everything is satisfying to use right down to the trans shift handle. Its like a micro tank, or a short bus haha

 

Pay some to do this more professionally and cleaner and then I’d be good to go.


His uses are different than mine haha.

 

Good solid plateform. A guy can dream haha

 

That's the best use of a second gen runner I've seen yet haha.

Also yeah I wheel my taco and daily my tank. Not really the smartest but I can always beef the wheeling vehicle up. Thought about launching it for another 80, but the trouble is who would buy the taco.

 

People cut em up and do it pretty clean.
Some do not.

I bet you could sell it pretty easy. To the buyer I guess like anything.
