    Sounds right. It's actually only one inch of clearance under the doors.

    Could you share a pic of the rock sliders front and back coverage? wondering how far they come from the front and back wheel

    Which option of the 4x sliders did you go with again as well?

    Are you getting another truck? Good luck with sale. This is a great truck for someone who wants to get in and go.

    Thanks man, I’ve enjoyed building it. Learned a ton along the way and I’m still stoked on the truck. I’m gauging interest right now, but I’m going to be moving and will have a much longer commute which I don’t want to do in the Taco. Looks like I’ll be in a hybrid or something small for a few years. If I can work it out to keep it, I might but parking will be an issue too. So for now she’s for sale. I have right at 28k invested with all the gear that comes with it, not counting my labor, but including any labor I paid for.

    It’s an awesome truck for that! Turn-key adventure rig. It’s got fresh fluids and filters, just rotated the tires and it’s itching to hit the trail. It’s also a rad hunting setup. I will be building another truck once I have time and space for it. Potentially another 1st gen. Might go diesel swap for the next one. A 25mpg overland rig would be sweet.
