    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    Picked up a set of @eimkeith coil bucket top plates, I have a spare set of coil buckets to design off of so I'll make some side plates to match it. Thanks for supporting our old junk, and in my case both my old pieces of junk (FZJ80) Keith!

    4 run, 2 don't
    So I thought I ran into a thread where someone did use the multimode transfer case from '99-'00 4R

    So yeah, there's already an AWD Tacoma floating around.

    There's a reason why amber filters exist for off road lights. Yellower light does not reflect back on water and dust particles as much.
