Tacoma Build Straight Out Of Jamaica

bought some 16" FN Wheels everything had to be ordered... didnt bother with the mud tyres this time around im trying to build a drag van that can still go offroad so went with all terrains.... with the rim and tyre its soo light

 

Awesome rigs!!!! ​

 

Nice rim style, the quicksand color scheme is gonna look sick man. I was curious about the LSD that you had installed earlier. How easy was the install, does it perform as expected? I know you are setting your rig up more for the street but would you recommend a Limited Slip for offroading? Any experience with a "lunchbox locker", thanks Ricky for any feedback you may give us, keep up the bad ass builds!

 

Thanks a lot man appreciate it.... about the LSD install it wasnt as hard as i anticipated the hardest part was to carry the diff to the machine shop to press off and on the bearings... as for offroading havent really been on any trails to test it out how i want to... i do see a big difference though in certain places where with the open diff i wouldnt be able to get out the limited slip has helped me

 

Has anyone ever ran nos on their 5vz?

 

Not personally, but a few people did back in the day on customtacos.com huge power gains with the TRD blower (150 shot gave IIRC 175rwhp)

 

ok i think ill do some research on it....Went to the drag strip again yesterday and man i wish i had my van to race... i may run nos and run in a faster class than before

here are some pics from the event

 

Im leaning towards selling the supercharger and going Turbo... thinking about it real hard

 

With NOS i could see you hitting high 11's or low 12's. With turbo you can do that all day long without having to refill. just know that after 400rwhp you will want to install head studs, forged pistons and rods to keep it together.

 

ok scrap the nos idea not about that life.... i bought a turbo manifold and intercooler kit so just gonna gather everything slowly then go turbo

 

well folks this is it right now.... have some more stuff coming
bush wacker flares
new headlight set up
did a full 3" exhaust setup
break in clutch and go back to tune

 

Is that the new '16 tacoma color?

 

yes it is

 

SCREW PHOTOBUCKET [applause]






Did a custom build for my Headlights again

 

Wow. Beautiful truck

 

Few pics i took over the weekend

 

@Ricky876, I really like what you did with your headlights. I'm trying to do the same to my Tacoma. Would you by any chance have more details like part numbers you used in your build?
I went on there web page and everything is supper custom. I like the combination you used and possibly want to do the same in mine.

Thanks

 

wow im just seeing this... i will have to try and find the info for you

 

Im going turbo pretty soon... gonna sell my supercharger and all other supercharger parts pulleys etc.

 

I'm actually going a different route but thanks for getting back to me.
