DIY: Bobbed Second Gen Tacoma

You know what i mean - cut like 6" out of the front fenders and hot glue them back together.

 

Perfect. The engine bay is empty anyways

 

mid engine like a Ferrari?

 

More like Dirt Every Day ep. 69 Rad4

 

Just think of how balanced it will be when you jump it.

 

Very cool ,great work ! I wish I had 1/10 of your mechanical ability

 

I love it. Looks awesome. Nice work!
I have a 5lug reg cab, so I don't do any offroading, but
I had briefly entertained thoughts of going the other direction, putting a reg cab on a access cab frame with a custom fabbed 7ft bed. Glad to see the concept isn't completely ludicrous.

 

Im slightly disappointed in myself. Im loosing it.

Thanks for the heads up B

 

Op can we get a DIY for a tubed rear bumper build.

 

what are the advantages to the BOB cut? is it just the offroading and preventing the section behind the wheels from catch on something? Just curios, I have seen more than one TACO rocking this cut.

 

Yep exactly. It’s beneficial off-road since it increases your departure angle. Less stuff to get hung up off road.

 

Just when you think you’ve seen every taco incarnation.

Really, really nice work OP.

 

Awesome build!

 

As promised, I made new bed caps to eliminate the seam.

 

Sick project. I love the lack of short cuts. Relocate the radiator? Long hoses would increase fluid supply/dissipation and you’d have plenty of room for the winch.

 

Here’s a link to that write up too. Gained a ton of clearance in the front.

Thanks, watched the vid. Looked like you almost got hung on a slider on the first drop. Some cool stuff. What’s the rear suspension in the trailing rig? Don’t see leafs or hangers. Tiny cell phone screen won’t show details.

 

This is really cool, and I have to say props on your skill. I do have to ask, what is the purpose of this?

 

Leafs and rear hanger replacements with a shock relocation and 12” shocks. She has some pretty good flex.

clearance off-road. My departure angle went from 26° to 45°

Imagine the clearance potential with rear coilovers.
