You absolutely owned this video. You didn’t smother Arleen. You asked great questions and knew some much about the build components, but led him into the descriptive. I know shit about builds like this, but I subscribed because of the incredible interview and solid edits. Some creators could learn a thing or two watching this clip. Not sure why the algorithm KZbin gods sent me here, but certainly glad they did.

[@doncarlo5]

what a nice truck ! I‘ve always loved the body shape of the Tacomas! Nice build … two thumbs up on this one !!

[@C-M-E]

Hell of a nice way to fill out a Taco! Once upon a time, a '99 Taco was a dream starter truck for me, found a used one for 12K, no one believed me that it was a good deal even though it had 90k on it at the time. Few years later, that first gen Tundra was calling my name, but it never happened. Ten years later, 2nd gen Tundra is mine for life! 😁

[@WinkyMcWinkerson]

Sick build. Looks like a ton of fun. Love how unassuming it comes off as. Straight ripper.

[@Riggafatdog]

I'm 3/4 the way through my first gen build. Bought it stock and did the supercharger/7th injector and bolt-ons. Now I'm almost done built 2j/t56 swap. I am doing just a bed cage for now. If I had known I would have to remortgage my house to swap a 2j, I would have just ls swapped it but I'm so close to finishing it now I can't stop. #allhailthefirstgen

[@ryano8613]

Woooah. See it through man!!

[@Riggafatdog]

@Ryan O absolutely 💯 Time and money. Want it done this year. The next purchase is a rad/fan set up from PWR and then I will get the bed cage built.

[@JB-zf8ov]

Best video this year thus far. More BTD, less Darren Parsons with his Jeep!

[@zanesworld_ofcars]

Ya jeeps are super gay…

[@zanesworld_ofcars]

This truck is gangster… it just needs to get off those 10year old tires!

Terra sucks because James is the most annoying person on the annoying person in the world, besides his wife

Chill af the put him behind the wheel. Maniac. 🤘🏽

[@raydon4911]

That thing is beautiful 😢. All the way from New Zealand. Much respect.

[@mikedeyoung7219]

I grew up in Escondido and that was what everyone was building out there back in the mid 2000’s. Good video. Only thing I miss about California is the desert 😢

[@ocularpressure4558]

U moved huh? Were u from esco?

[@romanvalenzuela4018]

That’s sick I have a crew cab with an ls1 as well still on deavers in the back!

[@madtod9975]

Escondildo 😂😂😂 My home town and my favorite is Tacoma’s! Crashed in the same desert going over 100 before the sky went sideways- dad sold the 650 bored Baja suspension while I was in boot camp and it’s trucks to a buggy after 😂 This truck would be great to race on the streets back in the last 90’s!

[@saltymethods2637]

Im literally just about to pull the trigger on some control arms for my T100. I’ve been back and forth with Harry all this week. Perfect timing on this video.

[@james_x_edgeholguin6053]

Harry is the man!

[@nessaforce]

"Fantasy" - Maria Carey plays in my head as I learn more and more about this TACO! SICK. He 4 sure poured his soul into this! I wonder how many times he's replaced his tires?!

[@mvoutour]

This was my dream truck 20 years ago and still is. Love it

[@damonnash7958]

Just picked up my first gen Tacoma. 2002, 3.6, 4wd, double cab, Fabtech front shocks with add leaf, 2.5 lift, and a flowmaster. 142k odometer. Looking to get started on some novice trails in Riverside County and move up from there!

[@AtomSmasher316]

It's a perfect every man's truck! Something you can count on to have good time and enjoy driving without too much fuss and expense. Plus it has A/C. 👏🏼🇯🇵💪🏼

[@JB-lw2ek]

Not much info shared on the rear end? So, We built it at the end of 2021, when it had the supercharger. We installed 5.29's with a 31 spline spool. Nice truck and glad to see it's still running, JD fab does great work!

[@michaellillard7584]

Word! Sikk old school fabtech bumps.

[@JacuzziSurfer]

Who’s hatin on leaf springs? They work great

[@danielguardado9955]

Nice vid, nice rig man. Very cool. I'm jealous

THATS SOME GOOD TOYOTA!!!

How does he have the headers ran I have an ls1 tacoma and headers are in the way of upper control arm

[@davidmays3333]

Very cool ride!!!

[@dreadfulbeef7653]

where did you get that light bar in the bed from? got a 95 and think it would look sick

[@jeepgibby]

I wanna do this with my taco when it gets old. 2uz swap it or something like that. Awsome truck dude.

[@emacflores7914]

In adition Leaf springs party harder 😂

Rad love it!

[@tonyg4622]

I’m in love 😍

That's a sick truck.

[@bryanbonillaart2167]

Love that LS1 in that truck. I want to do the same to my Seqouia lol

[@kevinc5917]

I am putting one in my 1983 Toyota trekker 4x4 right now

If I was blind I would think it's Paul Walker talking to himself about cars 😬😆. Duuuuude!

[@ToysForTheBoyz]

Dude I actually get that a lot, and they I look like his brother Cody too lol

[@BladeRunner.43]

My taco needs this!!!! 😋

[@erik4205420]

nice truck! i have a 1993 2wd single cab with a ls1/ t56 magnum

[@mamburgey5]

Nice Taco! The scrub radius on those spindles looks rough. If you look at the SAI it's pretty much at the inner sidewall of the tire.

[@WhyBeNick]

It doesn't look too unusual, but he's also got a ton of space between the UCA/spindle and the wheel/tire. I think he just needs wheels with less offset. Most people don't think about that stuff though and just run whatever wheel looks cool.

[@dylankecskes8247]

Idk why buy it seems all of us Toyota guys have the same setup going on, I was worried about mine for a while but a couple thousand dirt miles on mine and no issues!

[@mamburgey5]

@@WhyBeNick Good point, My buddy is running OG walker bead locks as well but I designed my kit around 0" offset wheels so even on 37x13.50s the wheel is not fighting him. Truck has over 2k baja prerunning with the stock rack from 2007. I picked my KMC beadlocks because they look cool 😅😂

[@fvpaquetqc]

Damn this looks good

[@matthewd.4549]

Love the truck bud!¡!! Wish I could get one..

[@xpander89]

Wow, what a truck 👌

[@dieseldabz7104]

Wow glad happened to click on this video. I also had a terrible accident in July of '00 on an ATV while practicing for an upcoming race and that day changed me forever. Was in really rough shape for awhile after almost dying and my injuries to list a few were a broken neck in 3 places in 2 different disc's, all ribs on right side front and back, broken right wrist (wasn't discovered until 6 weeks after accident) separated and destroyed right shoulder, severed nerves going to my Deltoid in right arm... My life has gone downhill ever since as I also had head injury that completely changed who I was as a person, I didn't see it at first but knew I somehow felt trapped inside my own body.. Has continued to cause issues throughout my life and just never been able to get back on track but always super happy when I see others who have after similar type of things happened to them as well. Glad it's all worked out for you both👊

[@ocularpressure4558]

Damn bro I hope u are doing better today and every day after, my friend recently had a bad accident and is on the mend ❤️‍🩹 but I just hope ur ok 👍

[@owl1873]

Super Cool.

[@gavinobarrera2656]

Sick ass taco man i would love a toy like that!

[@3.2.1.adventure4]

That 4 door Dakota in the back round though. You never see those. I had one in high-school and no one made anything for them.

[@pillaryclinton6187]

Right I have a 06 Dakota and loved it. Its like the perfect medium size truck. The back seats arent really big enough to seat passengers comfortably but the 4 door is perfect for the extra room. I wish there was some aftermarket support for it though. Unfortunately Im pretty sure I just blew the motor though so Im driving my first gen tacoma rn.

[@clayrogers5706]

Where can I get those flared fenders

Holy crap that’s cool

Still have my full fabtech kit in the Yoda 👌

[@MountainTopher]

This is basically what I want

[@jensenvilla9401]

Does he still have the supercharger, I’m wondering if he would like to sell it?

[@jzmefz0944]

Tons of power said no 3.4L owner ever lol

[@tommys2979]

I scratched my head when he said that too. Moat people complained about their lack of power, that was their secret to longevity

I need that truck, gimme!!! 😂

[@HDFPV2015]

Nice rig!!! Just make sure it’s not in track mode. 😂😂

[@soulsurfer8797]

[@madtod9975]

Always two batteries in a vehicle to boat! Nice!

[@MRR-qv3bw]

I got a chub looking at this taco😜

[@talkntrash]

Lmao I know where that is. I used to drift my Starion around there and I was going to have the shop around there do my long travel on my turbo 87 4runner but I ended up selling it... I miss that truck.

[@frankfilippone9679]

3.4 is great, but my first gen Tacoma S.A.Swap has a 2.7 , much more dependable motor, and as far as riding motorcycles, it's not for everyone, I wouldn't give my bike up for anything! I would get rid of my family before my bike! 😆 Sweet Tacoma but it needs a Dana 60hp in the front, I crawl, ain't no where to go fast here on the east coast, my taco is a Crawler/Hauler , I'm to old and damaged to go fast, I like going so slow you can get out, take a piss and then get back in while rolling! 😆

[@baconcreek609]

May or may not have spun some donuts.....😂

Been building these since the eighths in aus

That vehicle smog legal right????,

[@suetaylor1127]

I love the shit that you can do with this truck. No one knows how hard this is to accomplish! The mistakes you make trying to get here can cost a lot of money and you will end up with a mid travel suspension system that looks almost exactly like this even the same manufacturer. JUST SI EVERYONE KNOWS EXTENDED TRAVEL IS MID TRAVEL! Again EXTENDED TRAVEL IS MID TRAVEL! YOU WILL GET THE SAME TRAVEL AS A MID TRAVEL KIT. PROS; You may end up with the BEST mid travel system that money can buy on the market today and all you have to do is switch out the front back coil overs and upper and lower LCAs!

what happened to the ranger build????
