Alright, some of you might remember a few threads I wrote about possibly picking up an older Toyota or 4-Runner. Well the stars aligned and I was able to sell my Suburban last weekend and bought myself a Toyota earlier today. But it turns out it's much newer than I thought I could afford, and I think it'll work out just fine for what I need.
It's an '01 Reg Cab 4x4 2.7 5-spd. It has 265/75/16's on stock steel wheels, but they are more of a highway tread, so I'll be looking to swap them out for a more agressive tread design. I haven't done any research on the best way to lift it, but I don't think it would need much lift, if any. I'm on the lookout for a camper shell to fit it, and I'll shorten the roof rack I built for my Suburban to fit on top of the shell and mount my lights to it. I'll likely build front & rear bumpers, sliders, install my winch, and build some storage in the bed in the coming months.
I think the Tacoma will be a great daily commuter and weekend warrior, but I will miss having the ability to tow anything.
Few questions...how do I find out what gear ratio I've got, and can someone enlighten me on adding factory E-Lockers and what vehicles they came in?
I'll get some pics up as soon as I get a chance, I'm working nights for a special project this week and will be back to normal day hours this weekend.
