Picked up a CB. Uniden Pro 520xl and mounted it the ashtray location. Added an external speaker as well.

Decided to add a light hoop to the front bumper so I spent a saturday doing a bit of welding.

For an upcoming long trip I needed some additional interior cargo space and a spot for my fridge that was secure. Built a simple deck to go in the rear seat area. I remove the rear seats (4bolts) when I want to use the deck and it mounts using the same holes. Not long after that I was...

When I bought the truck it had some 32x11.50 BFG ATs on it. They were good but were getting low on tread. I was looking for something a bit more aggressive and was trying to avoid a bunch of fender trimming so I went with some 3x10.50 BFG KM2s. The narrower tire worked out great and didn't...

The truck needed some better protection so I took a weekend and built a rear bumper. I used some 3x5 rec tube for the main section, cut in a receiver and added some 2" tubing around the corners for a little bed protection. After the rear bumper was done I picked up a Low Profile Rock...

Phase 1 of the bed rack completed. Shovel mount on one side, hilift on the other. Snowboard racks, and tie down tracks in the top.

I didn't like the silver wheels too much. The wheel itself wasn't bad but the finish had been messed up by some carwash chemicals. So out came the rattle cans and I painted them a high gloss black. After that I started working on a bedrack. And called Kurt at CO again and picked up a...

After the suspension was the sliders. I have a set of Trail Gear sliders on my 80 series Cruiser and they've taken some real abuse and held up well so I got another set for the Tacoma. Got them all welded up with frame plates and gussets.

Most of this info is on some other boards, but I'm starting to get to know more of you local guys that on here on RME so I figured I'd share some build info. Current state of my truck. 2003 Toyota Tacoma Doublecab TRD 3.4L 5VZE V6 Stock Auto Trans Stock t-case Open front diff Rear...

I'm just saying that if you don't have 220 at your house, you're kinda outta luck unless someone has a mobile welding truck with a generator. Aren't the upper shock mounts just two bolts to remove the shocks? If it really is that big of a pain to remove the shocks, just tie them up out of the...

What welder were you using? Anything with 220v should be fine. I redid the lower shock mounts on my Tacoma and didn't preheat the axle tube. I'm using a Hobart Handler 187. Definitely not a "BIG" welder but runs 220v. Why can't you drive the truck? If you don't have to go too far you can...

I've got a 4Runner roll bar I picked up a while back that i planned to use in the bed of my Tacoma but my plans have changed. Looking to get rid of it now since it won't get used. Located in Syracuse. Asking $25

I've seen those Duraflex ones online too. The pictures look similar to the GW 3.5" fenders. I haven't seen anyone who is actually running them though. I'd like to hear some actual feedback on them before I give them any real consideration. Also, I don't think the flare on those is quite as...

Looking for some of these locally if anyone has some they want to get rid of.

This thing is super sexy. I've always had a soft spot for Broncos even though I'm a Toyota guy. Here's a few more trucks I like.

Mark Miller downtown seems to treat the offroad community pretty well. At least they always have with me and my Cruiser/Tacoma.

Is a set just front seats or font and rear? Black leather available?

I've run the Rubicon numerous times and can definitely see the benefit of low gears. I've had both setups with my FJ40 running an SM420 manual trans with a 7:1 first gear, early 3-sp cruiser t-case and 4.88s. It hada total crawl ratio of ~82:1 and for most of the Rubicon I could just leave it...

I hear what you're saying with the auto vs manual, but I think I still prefer the auto in my truck. Crawler gears in the t-case would improve a lot of the problems you describe. For me i've found that if it's technical crawling I don't even bother putting it into drive, but just leave it in...

I agree with Scott Brady's assessment on the topic as well, and I most definitely DO NOT fit the criteria. However, I seem to get the label constantly online purely because of basic rig setup and gear. I've boiled it down to if you have a RTT and a snorkel you will get the label, period. I'm...
