04 Tacoma turned Buggy

Got my new winch today, 12000lb Engo.

 

Trail gear bomb proof motor mounts.

These things are freaking beefy.

 

Those motor mounts should do the job.

Never heard of Engo winches? Where did you find it and how much did it cost you? 12K is overkill but there's nothing wrong with that.

 

Wow! Great build! I'm looking for something to inspire me and your build is it! Thanks! Now I just gotta get the truck...

busted motor mount

 

And my fix

 

Engines so clean

 

Soo my tires have started to disintegrate

 

picked up some 305-70 R16 nitto mud grapplers from my buddy. They only got like a 1/16" tread but they were free so I can't complain.
A bit to wide of a tire for my stock rims, but anyway I took them out to the local mud pit and I was amazed at how good they did with such little tread.

 

You should definitely go with some people and I to Potawatomi next Saturday! We're meeting up at the McDonald's in Knob Noster at 8 and then heading over there.

 

Nice Truck! It turned out awesome!

 

I was up there last Thursday and ended up with about a foot of water in my cab. How'd it go for you guys, any good stuck stories?

 

Thanks man. More to come.

Started cutting for 35s! Gonna be freaking sweet!

 

DONE! It was a pain in the ass, and a lot more work then I thought it would be but it turned out pretty good. Only time it rubs is full lock to the left it hits the washed fluid tank, but that should be pretty easy to relocate. I'm running stock 4.10 gears and its not nearly as bad as everyone made it sound like it would be. Now I just need to take it out for a shake down run.
