Hey All - stopping in to give a brief intro to my rig. I don’t have social media so I’m contemplating on documenting my build and trip reports on this forum.
I’ve finally completed phase 1 of my dream build which is based off of the first gen Tacoma platform. This is my 2001 Tacoma double cab and the specs currently are:
Front Axle: Custom Passenger Drop 14 Bolt with Super-Duty outers, Yukon 5.38 gears and grizzly locker
Rear Axle: 14 bolt with Yukon 5.38 gears and grizzly locker
Transfercase: Atlas 4 speed with 3.8 low gear
Transmission and Motor: stock
Front Suspension: Custom Rockhound 3 link with Fox Factory 2.5x12 DSC coil overs and hydraulic bump stops
Rear Suspension: Chevy 63s and Fox shocks
Wheels and Tires: Raceline Beadlocks with 43” Super Swamper SX tires
Misc: Warn Zeon 12S, Tom Woods Driveshafts with 1410 joints, PSC hydraulic Assist with custom double shear steering arms, custom tube bumper, 4x Innovations rock sliders.
Here’s when I first brought it home:
Here is how it sits now:
We just completed the initial shakedown run and the truck definitely exceeded expectations.
I built this rig to be able to enjoy the Rubicon and that dream will finally become reality in about a month. Following a summer of wheeling the next round of mods will include:
Install the brand new Gen V L83 with upgraded top end work. A built 4L70, interior cage with integrated bed cage/spare tire carrier, and possibly entertain linking the rear suspension.
