Tacoma Stalking, er...uh, Spotting, with Charlie™ (2nd Gen Edition)!

Nice truck! But that's an SR5; I know for a fact that neither TRD package was available on the RC...

 

I never seen one in person. But I do know a member on here has a 5 lug DCSB.

 

I've only ever seen one of those, a Barcelona Red one when I went to a family reunion in Northern California back in October 2017; I had never seen one before, and I've never seen one since!

 

Doesn't mean you can't put it there....just can't buy it that way and the VIN won't have a signifying character but.........

 

If I hit the lottery, I would build myself an RC 4.0L/6-speed 4x4!

 

I fixed it to the way I’d do it.

If I hit the lottery, I ain’t turning no more wrenches.

 

I'd do the stereo system...

 

If I hit the lottery, I’ll pay to do mine.

 

My neighbor has always done mine, and it only cost me materials and a case of his favorite beer!

 

2011 DCSB TRD Off-Road; A real one!


July 10th, 2022:

Dublin, Pennsylvania

 

For the 1st gens yes. They made the trd with the 4 cylinder. I really wanted my 2nd gen regular cab to be a trd so I made it a functional clone

 

How hard is it to put a diff locker in, and can 5-lug brakes/etc be fitted to a 6-lug rear diff?

 

but isn't the thread about 2.7l? That real one is v6. Tons of v6 offroads or sports in AC or DC with either bed length.....

 

It seems you don’t know Charlie or his threads.
They can start out on one subject. And by the end of the thread, we will talking about something totally unrelated to the original topic.

You will never get bored chatting about the same old thing in one of his post.
Which is cool. Because most of the time, by post #5 in a “regular” thread. All the “useful” information has been posted. And the thread dies.

 

I'll check back later for next morph.....

 

No, This is incorrect information. 1st Gen TRD Off Road Package was only available on the V-6 models from 1998-2004. You could get them in access cab and double cabs in either 4X4 or 4x2 Pre-Runner configurations.

 

I just saw a 1996 regular cab 4x4 V6 with a factory locking rear diff...

 

What I want to know is why did they put fender flares on the 5 Lug DCSB…. Lol

 

I have heard that you could get that option in the Pre 98 Tacoma's. But it was just a stand alone option. However, I cannot find in any of the factory brochures where it lists the rear locking differential as an option. But for 1998 and later years the locker only came with the TRD Off Road Package.

If anyone can verify about the rear locking diff as an option please post up some info. Thanks.

 

I'm 99 percent sure I read a thread where 1st gen 4cylinder guys claimed with pics factory lockers
