    I missed out on most of the early adventures with this truck but I have sure had fun with it in the last couple years.

    This thread will be updated as the rig is changed and wheeled

    Current set up and pic.
    SAS . Trail Gear Rock Assault Axles with 5.29s and E lockers front and rear. Inchworm Gear 4.7:1 "Lefty" Transfercase. 35 inch BFG KM2's, All-Pro rock sliders and rear bumper. Lowrange build front bumper. Warn 10000 Lb Winch with Duraline synthetic rope. SuperSprings SumoSprings bump stops.

    Nick driving it at the 2017 Winter 4x4 Jamboree in Southern Utah in January.

    Now for some Oldies ( I'm sure I will find others and earlier pics eventually)

    I believe this was the first pic after the Solid Axle Swap.

    Looks like the Taco was sporting a bed rack and RTT for awhile. And got a Toyota badge for the grill.

    Looks awesome. I plan on doing this with a 96 Tacoma as a father-son build in a few years. Are you running the stock rear axle?

    Would be fun to hit a trail! I have not been out to Little Moab for a couple years. I feel like it's too hard not to destroy a rig out there haha so many cool lines to try.

    I'm impressed you were able to recognize little Moab off just one picture. I didn't go too crazy out there since I daily my Tacoma. A jeep that was with us was doing most obstacles until he broke a suspension link.
