    Do you have any other pics of it? I was just looking at one at lowes. It was only 12" deep which I like since the DC bed is already small. But didn't like that it measured 61.5" and the bed is like 59-60? Does it hang over a lot?

    Re-read your build journal and I didn't see anything on your 1250 watt inverter install. Any links?

    Yea. Ive got a toolbox and a tiregate now, so def not hauling and bikes anymore.
    The R1 got stolen a few years back and the bug hasn't hit me again yet.
    However it fit pretty good at the time and i used to haul it back and forth from sc to ind several times a year.

    Sorry to bring up an older thread, just wanted to say awesome truck! Searched for some builds with the 2.7 liter (for my build-2.7 5spd access 4wd) and this one popped up. Glad to see you like the 4.56, I have the 4.30's and was considering 4.88's. After reading your build it looks like the 4.30 will push what I want (33's/plate bumper/topper) ok. And that locker, exactly what I was looking for! Again, awesome, detailed build. Lots of motivation here, this one should be stickied as it answers TONS of questions for first time Taco owners!

    Nice truck man. I've had mine since I bought it in 03 as well. The blue synthetic line looks awesome. Like the front bumper as well. ;)

    Thx man.
    I think I just want some type of roof rack so I can carry a kayak and fiberglass pod and I will be done with it.
    Time to move on to something else.
