    OP: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/new-project.415081/

    @68dave was kind enough to part ways with this truck and I can't thank him enough because I have been searching high and low for a good 3rd gen T4R.

    He was very generous and was honest with me about everything. It needs a motor which he is giving me but he is unsure if the replacement is okay or not so I am going to go through it before installing. I might just rebuild it and get the heads checked at a machine shop to be sure it is okay.

    So this thread will be my new build thread.

    Definite Plans are:

    Front Plate Bumper w/ 8500lb Winch
    Rear Plate Bumper w/ Swing Out Tire Carrier (Offset as much as I can so I can see out rear glass)
    Weld On Rock Sliders, DOM, No Kick Out
    Full 1/4" thick steel Skid Plates
    Roof Rack and maybe RTT (Plans are to sleep in it but being 6'2" that is tough)
    2-3" Lift
    Larger Wheels (33's) and Tires (17" x ?) (Brands Unknown for now, open for suggestions)

    Eventual Plans when it becomes dedicated trail truck:

    SAS
    Crawl Box
    Exo Cage w/ Removable Tube Doors

    LETS DO THIS!

    Going to name this build "Mufasa" since this truck is the same year The Lion King was released. Haha

    Decided it'll get painted Quicksand once I am ready to paint. See more and more 3rd gen Tacomas in that color and love it more and more.

    Going to pull bumpers off this weekend and start thinking about design. Also going to start unhooking all lines and electronics from motor so I can pull it next week. Got it tagged historic today through Maryland. Now I don't need to worry about inspections or emissions!
