Tacoma....6x6?

I’ve always had this crazy idea of transforming a Tacoma from a normal 4x4/4x2 to a 6x6, but never really seen the need, want, reason, or purpose of it.

I've only ever seen one concept being a 1st Gen but never a 2nd or even 3rd.

I’d like to see thoughts on the idea!

 

Then thought has crossed my mind. But i could never justify the cost. It would look awesome though.

 

Vromos did it with a hilux, arctic trucks has done a few aswell and patriot campers out of Australia has a couple 6x6 Landcruiser’s. I’m sure you could look those up and get some good ideas

 

Is this for real??

 

Dats a landcruiser not a lux.... Great for Glamping on Instagram here in the states but might serve a real purpose out back....

 

Ah, thats nuts!

 

That’s where most of the idea sparked, but I’ve yet to see an America Toyota have a 6x6 done to it.

 

Tell you what: The way this world is going, healthcare, cost of living and all that goes along with that - I could buy into this. Just sell the house, apply the house payment to the truck payment and me and pups could just live in it.

 

THE ULTIMATE NA OVERLANDER

 

I don't get the purpose of a 6x6. Is it that you are off roading with so much weight in the bed that a single axle can't handle it? Doesn't seem like it would be an advantage off roading, just a bunch of extra weight for a little bit of traction. Maybe in sand or mud with a lot of weight it would be useful. I don't see any 6x6 rock crawlers, usually just giant vehicles.

 

I guess it would be more for less hardcore off roading, and mainly style and presence. So i agree it’s just added weight.

 

+Payload capacity, they do it on 79s and stuff over seas. They don't seem to use many dually trucks, maybe because duallys don't do good off road. I guess that matters if you're a powerline company in the outback.

 

I saw this the other day on Google street view.

 

I prefer an 8x8

 

Hell, the number of guys on here that bitch about gas mileage , I can see it know, I have 6x6 but I only get 3 mpg, what should I do? Gears? Super charger? More air in the tires? Help?

 

Dodge T-Rex.. but not a Toyota

 

That should be burned and never shown again.

 

Here's a 'Lux 6x6



Ton of 79 series LC's but here's my fave:


And one for the 40 series guys (FJ45 6x6 so FJ46?)

 

Looks like a status symbol more than anything else. Buy a Ferrari.

 

You're probably right except for that Hilux. A Ferrari can't take you exploring polar ice caps and glaciers.
