TacoMX's 1997 Taco 4wd Build

Lookin good. 95.5 to 97 are my favorite years of the Tacoma. Sub'd

 

thanks!



Husky floor liners (haven't put in the pass side yet)




Revamped interior...just have to adjust the wet okole seat covers and put the side covers back onto the seats.





K&N FIPK (I know, I know...I got it because my stock intake was cracked and falling apart...will be running a UNI foam filter over the K&N filter)



Welded in an angle-iron cross member onto my 4xinnovations front bumper so I can run stock skids again. Made the spacers out of old bushing sleeves off a four wheeler. Worked perfect.

 

Got these in the mail today:

All pro UCA's and an AP extended rear brake line.

 

Out with the old....

 

What's up Jon! How you liking those Husky Liners? I think I'll be ordering some within the next week.

 

I love them so far. They fit well and catch all the dirt/water/mud

Highly recommend them

 

Dang that looks nice. of ur UCAs

 

Thanks man.

Progress on the truck has stalled. Been sick, and I am just...lazy...lol.

Limit straps, gauge cluster bulbs, and new brakes up front are in the immediate future.

One day I will get to the rest of the armor.

 

The taco looked sexy sitting out in the yard, so I took some pics. Really needs some more armor

 

dude your tacoma is so sick.

 

Thanks man. I have been neglecting it a lot as far as mods lately.

 

How are you liking the new air intake set up?

 

This might sound weird but i did a lot of shopping around and research for the right tires for my truck for this winter, and just the other day 32x11.5/15 bf goodrich mud terrain km2s showed up at my door . So excited can't wait to get em on. I have a 3" OME suspension lift on its way then I should be set for this winter..and hopefully a couple more after that. Your truck is a constant inspiration to me so thank you for having such a sick taco to get ideas from!

 

Nice truck, TacoMX. I like that you kept the body nice plus you have quality parts on top of that. Good job!

 

Just gotta admire a build as clean as yours...I wish I could say as much for mine.

 

Lookin good dude can't wait to see it in person!!!

 

Im neutral on the subject. I got it mostly as replacement for a damaged stock system. It sounds nice at WOT, and I am getting really good MPG's with it on (dont know it its the intake, or me just adapting to better driving habits), I got 18.7MPG on my fill up.

I have never been a huge K&N fan...but the kit is made very well, its US made, and its doing its job. Still looking for a foam pre filter for it though...

Thanks man! The 32x11.5's are a good size for our trucks IMO...and the KM2's are the best...they are better all around than my old goodyear wranglers, even on the road.

Thanks bud

Thanks!

Yup...when's the next meet?? I haven't been on TW much lately...been working a lot.

 

Well toyota installed my lift and tires on wednesday for $600 bucks! what a blow! But I do love them and my lift rides very nice. Couldn't be happier with how my truck looks and feels. I think the 32s are a perfect fit for the 97 taco. Here's some pics
