My first Toyota ... 2nd Gen Tacoma

Hi everyone!

This is my first post per the instructions. I've been a Jeep person my entire life. Done a lot of rock crawling on that platform with the YJ and later JK. Through a ton of peer pressure I've now purchased a 2nd gen Tacoma to turn into a family friendly wheeling rig. I'll make a build thread soon but for now....

How it started...

• Basic overland rig complete with snorkel and all...
• Interior was a complete disaster and smelled of mildew
• Other than it is rust free and has headers

How it's going....

• Stripped the interior in preparation for a cage and 4 seats with harnesses
• Removed the snorkel and ordered new fenders
• Removed the billion pound bumper and donated the winch and lights to the same friends who pressured me into this project.

What's next?

• Cage / Seats / Steering Wheel
• Ford 9s front and rear
• Triangulated 4 link rear
• 3 link front
• 40s and beadlocks
• Bobbed tube "flatbed"
• Front bumper with winch
• .. random things I find fun

 

I inserted my images as thumbnails but somehow they ended up large anyway. I'm sorry about that! Even after editing and re-inserting as thumbnails we are stuck like this.

 

Looks like you have disassembly well at hand. Watching.

 

Im a former TJ owner for 9yrs. I never had a problem with it. I loved the Jeep, but after having my Tacoma I could never go back to a Jeep as a DD.

 

Here is the most recent Jeep... I do miss this vehicle but all things come to an end. I daily drive a 2020 Ram 3500 DRW so I'm just super comfy all the time now.
