Box Rocket - 2003 TRD Doublecab

hahahaha noticed that after...too quick on the response

going through 3200 pics give me a break haha

 

haha props for taking so many pictures! I can't wait to see more of cliffhanger.

 

Thanks! Can't wait to see what else you got.

 

962 from cliffhanger alone

 

Sorry for the diversion, but your avatar always makes me think I'm having some sort of demented flashback.

 

Put the armor to the test at the TW Moab meet. All in all it did it's job well. I tagged the bedsides on a couple of overly aggressive rocks that reached out and bit me. Little late for extra bedside protection at this point but I might still add some at some point.

All of my damage was superficial, so no big deal but here it is. Pretty evident how important protection can be. I'm definitely glad I've spent the time building a lot of this and for the other protection I've got.

Got this one on "Body Snatcher" on the Golden Spike run


Rear bumper




Passenger slider




Driver slider


Belly Skid




Front Bumper


IFS Skid




This one happened on Cliffhanger

 

Nice Adam! Awesome to see your hard work on the skids payed off! I'm heading up so we can make me a set haha!!

 

Hey man, you want to go wheeling the 2nd or the 9th?

I might be able to go on the 2nd. My wife is going to Hawaii that morning so I'll have my kids, but I might be able to make it work.

 

Just went thru ALL 32 pages. Impressed beyond words. From one "Safari" Taco to another, you done good!

 

Thank you for taking the time to go through the thread! I appreciate your compliments, you deserve a good number of them as well. Great looking truck!

 

Couple more of NYCO's pics that I messed with in Photoshop. Hope you don't mind Bob.

 

Dude if you dont mind i am so going to build my truck just like urs man. your truck is flawless.

 

How much do you like having a double cab? Pro's vs. Con's? The looks of them are starting to grow on me, but the extended cabs are more reminiscent to me because of my 96 Tacoma I drove.

 

Thanks, but if you're gonna make it just like mine you'll need to start with a 4wd conversion.

I love the double cab! I needed it because of 4 kids, but even if I didn't have the kids I'd have the double cab because the space makes it so much more versatile. I love the rear deck I built for my fridge and other gear for long trips. I pull the rear seats and bolt in the deck and it makes it really nice for securing the gear that stays in the cab. A fridge can fit in an extra cab but it would be tight and also be a total pain to get to. It's nice to just open the door and have full access to everything without having to reach over the front seats.

 

Looks like I will be part of the support/chase crew for Canguro Racing when they race the Baja 100 in November. Gonna be awesome!!

hell yea!

 

the homemade protection survived moab! sweet. I wish i could buy the skids and bumper you fabbed up somewhere..... the 33x10.5 km2s look sick btw. Better than the 255/85R16s. perfect looking size. How is the stock gearing handling them? Saw you did some pretty steep stuff in Moab.

Are you locked in the front? saw the vid of you hitting golden crack, and it looked like you it was but can't be sure. Your first page build thread doesn't seem to say.

btw congrats on the baja 1000 thing, thats epic

 

I have no complaints about the stock gearing with the 33's. The auto trans hides a lot in the rocks.

I do not have a front locker yet. Not sure if I'll ever add one while it's still IFS. If I ever do a solid axle then I'll lock it up.

 

Canguro Racing out testing a new setup this weekend.
