Chris's Long Travel Supercharged do some of everything build

So this winter the plan is to go thru the truck and fix alot of quick fixes. There have been so many quick fixes and good enough to get back together to finish the weekends. There will also be some minor changes.
Sorry all my pics are from instagram anymore but its easy.

Not sure Anyone pays attention to this build anymore because not overland, but its a good place for me to keep track of stuff.

Last season we added some tubes for better seat mounts and add a kinda crossmember at the same time.
Also finally Lizard skinned the interior and covered it with Eastwood X-Matt Dense Matt.

 

Switched the rear Fox 2.5 3 tube bypasses out for ADS 3.0 5 tubes.

 

Put the truck on the race scales.

 

Switched to a 10" lightened 5.33 Motive race gear.

 

For years I have been working on trying to get transmissions to survive more than a season. I also decided to try another set of lighter less aggressive tires I had to see if it would help. Shaved almost 7 lb per tire both same size 295/70-17

Toyo MT 67.2 lb


Copper ST Maxx 60.4 lb

 

Are you running an R series transmission?

 

Yes R150F and 3rd gear always ended up like this. Pulled this one apart before it was total junk

 

I'm glad you keep this updated. We need less over landing builds.

 

Awesome build! Clean build i would love to do this with my truck but keep a little more of a bed....dirt bikes and daily driver at the moment.

 

Awesome build! Just came across this but glad I did. Always awesome to see caged "go fast" Tacomas.

Sub'd

 

Thanks guys. I have actually hauled dirt bikes in the back of my truck, even a quad. Just not the most fun getting it up there. Wouldn't want to do it on a regular basis lol.

 

What’d you do with the old ones? Trucks sweet too. Been following along for a while

 

Hate speak I’ll about anyone who owns a tacoma, but amen. Overland builds are a consumerist hobby. Dare I mention that the majority have the same equipment and never seem to see more than a nicely graded fire road.

 

Thanks. I have my share of project vehicles. I figure they will end up on one of them.

 

I am a firm believer that we should all build what we want and how we want it. So I'm not really a hater, just like to poke fun at mallcrawlers Opps I mean overlanders. Its all geared towards a buddy that actually uses his overland rig. lol. All in good fun but i dont really understand it like 22 inch rims on an offroad truck.

 

Such a cool truck !

 

Thanks man. Our dune season is almost over so hopefully soon I will put together updates.

 

Just stumbled across this build. This is such a sick rig man!! As someone else said, totally digging the... more racecar than overland builds haha!!
