n0rth's Tacoma build

i bet with a SC the flow through it would be awesome haha

 

Thanks

That thing is huge, I think mine is the 8" I didn't notice that much of a difference in mileage or power between it and the ram. You'll dig the MTR's way tougher sidewall than the duratrac and softer compound so they should be awesome for Moab. I don't know much about the truxxus but it seems the only way to get deals on intercos is buy them used....

Hopefully I'll find out soon, I was in the garage today fixing a nissan pathfinder. I had to dig around in the URD goody box just to remind myself how awesome that rotrex s/c is gonna be.

 

JW, you are going to moab this year right?

Planning on doing the full trip? 29th-2nd

 

I'll be there, not sure on the exact dates yet still need to figure it out with my work schedule.

 

Well... I missed ya on my trip last Aug. so it will be cool to get a chance to finally meet you.

 

Alrighty. Well hopefully I'll be going and ill have at least one other rig going with, maybe 2, so if you are going down around the 28th for the beginning maybe we can all convoy down. Will of course be posting updates as it gets closer.

 

For sure, That was one of the best parts last year in Moab was meeting everyone.

Chances are I won't head down till Friday.

 

suck

 

So...is this thing boosted yet ?

 

Not yet, but getting closer gotta get another project done

 

For the FJ or the Taco?

 

Bob that looks like a lamp post haha

 

Hey n0rth,

Just saying thanks for this awesome thread, I refer to it all the time - Your truck ROCKS. Saw on another thread you just hit 110k miles. Thats awesome - Keep On Keepin' On. . .

 

i know right? i was thinking of tinting the clear plastic somehow...should make it look much better

 

Took me four days to go thru this thread, copious post-it notes...

 

Hey, love your truck!!

I was wondering if you ever put a dirtbike in the bed with the Softopper folded up to the cab?

I want one but I want to be able to fold up the topper and bring the bike to a race or camping, unload the bike and put the topper up to sleep in.

Will it fit? I load my bike in the corner like you, will there be clearance issues with the topper against the cab in down position?

Thanks,
John

 

Thanks man, I just turned 111k yesterday and the truck is still running strong. Now if I can ever get around to installing the S/C...and made this thread interesting again.

Thanks if you have questions just PM me or ask in here.

I have never hauled the the bike with the topper folded down although I think it would fit just fine. The only concern I would have with it is leaving the windows in place they are sturdy but I still worry about breaking one if its not warm out.

 

Really think I might go up to 36s..

I've got a 2.7, w/4.88s - running 255s at the moment. Truck still pretty drivable with 36s?

 

i hauled my bike last weekend with the soft topper folded down. I had to lift it up slightly to get the front tire all the way to the corner of the bed, and then set the soft topper on the top of the tire. Works great, doesnt rub or damage anything. Had the tailgate up too.

 

Its drivable but lacks power in the hills thats why I picked up the supercharger now if I can just make time to install the damn thing.

Nice, good to know I always treat the softoppers as maybe being more fragile than the really are (more the windows than anything else).
