    I wouldn't bother with the tacoma base to make a TT.

    Go buy some 4130 tube and get building, you may want to go get an engineering degree before hand but that is optional.

    The derp is so strong here its easy to miss. I just had to re-read to catch that he doesnt want to make his mpg's drop "so much he should just get a jeep". So he is deciding on the trophy truck or prerunner or jeep that he can drive on the street

    A combination of weight distribution and generous application of throttle FTMFW ! All those guys like to set up a bit differently. I wouldn't like to lose sight of the ground for that long at that speed , but he may see it as the best way to land.
