So I bought my '04 Tacoma Double Cab 4wd a little over two years ago to replace my '85 Xtra Cab for daily driving duties. The '85 has since turned into my rock buggy and I've managed to keep my welder away from the Taco. However, this truck serves many roles for me and the stock configuration falls a little short in a few of those, it's time for some modification!
This truck needs to be a trail capable camping and tow rig that I commute to work in.
First, a few requirements:
-The Taco is my daily driver as well as my tool for exploring some very remote areas, so reliability is paramount.
-The Taco is not my main wheeler, but it's no stranger to 3.5-4 rated terrain, so armor and well performing suspension will be needed.
-I use the Taco to tow my buggy. I don't want a bigger truck, but I do need more power and better brakes.
-My wife and I are still young and kind of like sleeping in a tent on the ground and our camping gear is already fairly modular and packs into the truck well, so I don't have the need for fancy gizmoes like roof top tents or drawer systems.
Unfortunately, this build will be SLOW- the Taco isn't my main wheeler and nice parts for new trucks are expensive.
