    If anyone would want a signature picture made, I have been messing around with photoshop quite a bit the past few days and have started making some again. Any size wanted, will work with whatever.

    One I made for another member-

    When modifying a vehicle you should play to its strengths. The taco is heavy with a loose rear end. It's strengths isn't go fast with great maneuvering unless you start doing mods to make it like an XRunner.

    They call it an XRunner because of the X brace under the bed. Makes the rear frame much more stiff. Between that and the lower than 5lug suspension it can pull 1.02 G's of lateral acceleration.

    But that doesn't even begin to address the weight issues. I don't think it's a great platform to go that route. But then again, it's not my truck. If you don't obsess with getting the most out of it and are ok with compromise then you can probably make something that looks good and unique. But it won't function as well as doing the same amount of work on a different platform (like an FR-S for example)
