The commentary on this video is amazing, pure comedy, nice truck too!

This is imagination!!! But very well done!!! This tacoma has all you need, and looks way better than any other tacoma!!

Great video! Brought back a lot of memories for me of working on my Toyota 4 x 4’s over the years.

GOOD JOB DINGUS!

That truck is beyond clean!! Great job bro!!

Nice 1st Gen! Love all the custom made stuff!

Dude your walk around is dope! Great rig

This is the best video 😂😂😂😂😂 I just know you love this truck as much as I love my taco

Cool truck. I have a 2003 but it's very stock and I love it.

i really wanna see how you made the led halo lights, was looking for some for my first gen and couldn’t find some but i suck at wiring so if you could show us/ tell us how to make those headlights from scratch that would be mint

Nice video man!

I'm a simple man I see Tacoma I click like!!!

Sweet rig.

You must really love to try to put in this much work

Sick build! This is something i hope to do soon! Just throw some 40’s or 37’s on an old truck and cut to make them fit!

There is a lot more to it than just throwing on 37's on and cutting it haha but if you have the time and space I highly recommend it!

I feel your pain, when you buy a part put it on and then you hate it and would have never done it if you knew the outcome. I have found that more with used parts when I was trying to save a buck this isn’t quite right, not what I wanted etc…

What year and how many miles on your truck?

need to drop front diff. cv angle too steep. nice build tho. would like too know how long your ball joints, tie rods, bearings, bushings hold up in the long run. i have a 2nd gen 4runner ifs on 35s. i daily drive daily trail for 6 years no prob. been thinking of 38s last couple years. I'll be following this build. thanks

@frankentrd

I do have a diff drop. I have the front up pretty tall (which I don't like) because i don't have a spare tire or bumper in the rear. I wanted it to sit more or less level, I don't like the stinkbug look haha

Just curious, did you have any issues with your clutch pedal after such an aggressive tub on the firewall? I have an 04 on 35x13.50r15 BFG Krawlers, and will need to do something before wheeling it again. I'm just worried about getting full pedal travel by messing with the firewall.

@frankentrd

Yes I did. I had to bend my clutch pedal to the right to get it to work properly again.

Is that a different attachment for the ram phone holder? Or the standard clamp it comes with?

Same attachment I just used some of their hardware to fix it to the handle.

Is the front gonna camber anytime soon?? I notice when you run big wheels one of them always tend to bend a little.

I did not take a video but it was pretty easy. I just marked it level with the tailgate and used a grinder to slowly cut it out.

IFS just sucks, off road. New technology in metals is making the components a little better. But most just do not hold up to alot of abuse. Kudos to you for building your own truck. Thats awesome.

@austinradtke2896

It's not bad for overlanding and light rock crawling. But putting 37s on the stock 7.5 inch front diff is asking for trouble, especially locked. I personally wouldn't run anything larger than 35s without doing a solid axle swap.
