[@dylankarr2718]

Yes, more tacoma wheeling content please. I audibly laughed after you turned on the front locker and just floated up those rocks, fantastic build!

[@anthonyc6724]

Dude super happy you stuck with the taco, it looks so sick and can go anywhere.

[@HiYota808]

Glad you're finally able to enjoy the truck

[@AscendingBliss]

Man, the fact that it did so well on giant Rubicon-like wet boulders is a testament to how insanely capable and badass that truck is now. 🤘

[@sandshark5584]

“We’re going to test this truck to its fullest ability….starting with breakfast right over here” love it 👍great video

[@ricksousa3932]

Maxx you and the truck have come along way, looking forward to bigger Mt's.

[@CPMUNSEY]

Man how far your Taco has came Maxx!! It’s really impressive. Glad you finally got it mostly the way you want it and be able to enjoy it. Wry cool to see! Thank you for sharing your life with us! It is appreciated.💪🏼💪🏼🔥🔥

[@j.112]

Always great seeing a post from you brother. Been here since the beginning. 🤙

[@Matt-xw4vl]

That first gen had way too much air

[@oddballcreations2491]

I’m maybe betting that was on purpose or he is just a laziest, off-roader or ever

[@JesseRizo]

Sick!!! Looked fun as heck

[@allentisthammer4763]

Check out the forward looking camera, I mounted mine just above the bull bar and it's a game changer diving the LB Taco school bus. It's a cheap mod that's plug and play. Rocker sw lets you look either fwd or bk while moving fwd. Reverts to bk when you shift into reverse. Happy to see you enjoying the changes.

[@user-bc4dq5je6c]

It's been cool watching this rig transform over the years. Eagerly waiting for more wheeling videos. Hoping you'll do more videos on that stove thingy too.

[@MacsSpecialitiesMotorsports]

Wow the IFS and Lockers worked great! What an advantage with higher ground clearance with the Marlin Crawler IFS too! Time for a Taco showdown with you and Nate from #dirtlifestyle

[@Zed-uh8js]

Love these type of videos

[@beardedguy7321]

A cutting board is a cutting board, and besides a little floor spice makes everything nice

[@UrbanOpsOffRoad]

Hell yeah dude! Love the video but that audio destroyed my speakers 😂 saludos primo!

[@brantluckow8370]

Very bad ass! Love the state of the truck now. And it was great to see the OG TTORA sticker on the OG SAS 98-00 taco! Tacoma Territory Off-Road Association FTW! TTORA is where CBI made its mark. Many many first gens rocked the CBI Off-Road Fab products. Fabrication for the Recreationally Insane. Keep up the great content Maxx.

[@Tyler-cw6ke]

Awesome!! Was just there two weekends ago! And it was packed.

[@pkvolare]

taco is running awesome, such a deadly rig

[@John98512]

Great Job!

[@jacoblarson4420]

Man, I was excited for the walk around! Lol

[@tr0nix1]

That gladiator wheeled so well, thumbs up

[@stop153rz2]

Awesome!

[@eat.sleep.wheel21]

I love Toyotas, been a Toyota guy forever, but I hate that you have to double the cost of the vehicle to make it as capable as a mildly modded Gladiator.

[@maxattacks25]

This is the dream honestly, especially with the front locker, dual cases and FJ Tcase. Just so expensive 😅

[@insanelysane86]

Looking good, love the RCLT kit! Looks like you could benefit from a small rear sway bar and maybe a little less preload or slightly softer springs in the front as you aren't getting much flex from the front end.

[@KICROKS86]

sick i love it !

[@mitchelodeon]

I’m mad bc I just moved to Belfair and have been at Tahuya every other day it seems like and I STILL managed to miss you lol

[@rancherodave]

Watched the truck be built from the beginning stages to now. Would love to build up my 18 like that maybe someday lol.

[@sonnyrico]

Seen ya hauling south of chehalis last sat

[@harvmac69]

Taco lookin good! I think you should put a quiet exhaust on it to make it a silent creeper!

[@TJ-md2jl]

When’s the next overland store meetup and possible tahuya run? Picked up a 3 linked 1st gen I wanna go party out there

[@dirtyasstaco2484]

Hell yeah 🔥🤘 Keep the wheeling vids going!

[@brokenwrench404]

Your taco has come a long way. Looking rad. I completely understand the not wanting to work on it anymore and just enjoying it. Any plans to get a 2024 taco?

[@503Taco]

Should hit up la dee flats near estacada oregon, I think you’ll like the 803 trail 😊

[@cooksadventures8748]

Your in my neck of the woods, let's wheel sometime

[@yourface3154]

Dang, I haven't seen this channel pop up in a long time. You have long hair!

[@j.112]

Yota life FTW! 🤙

[@alkano7155]

Has anyone done a combo deal with this type of beefy IFS, with Portals on Rear Axle?

[@justinsali6581]

Finally 🎉

[@Golden-69]

Wide load beast. Need some armor around them fenders

[@cooksadventures8748]

What exhaust are you running Max?

[@ronnychavez8521]

Freaking sweet, honestly would want to own both rigs if the money wasn't a thing. Which rig would you say is more cost effective?

[@twisterad3]

“There’s a buddy” 😂

[@Shakshuka69]

Guys, going on and off the throttle and constantly losing momentum while you're trying to climb stuff is just the most difficult and wrong way to do it.

[@chrisgray8404]

The taco looks so much better now than it did when you first got it.

[@thoughtsinmotion9452]

I think the 1st Gen did well considering it was at 60 psi and 1/5 the price of the 3rd Gen lmao

[@tpharo34]

Where was the walk around?

[@SomoneTookMyName]

As a jeep guy and would not in any way convert to a Toyota. I still love Toyotas Though.

[@matthew_dag6201]

Putting music over the first crawling clip of the SAS Taco was a crime

[@iconiumbuilders7820]

TTORA!

[@ll4114]

That SAS tacoma needs better tires.

[@Hank_Amarillo]

did the jeep make it up yellowjacket?

[@iwillwander]

Love your whole family, Maxx, but the title is too freakin long on this one. Keep em coming.

[@Intentsrig]

Did the gladiator not do anything?

[@ShoddyRC]

The black Tacoma really needs a muffler to be on video!

[@gopackgo69]

The Toyota is nice, but you didnt show any Jeep action. It would be nice to see both formats.

[@DADuTV_]

Im curious how your media company is doing? You rarely promote it.

[@duggydo]

When you have it in low-low, it looks like you are going 3 mph at redline!

[@mercurials54]

100k 🤯 Reliability left the chat 😂

[@kaelyaniep4267]

How many RCV boots have busted since

[@Michael42587]

You should never wheel with front case in low and rear in high. You will end up braking the input on the rear case. You can drive logging roads luke that but definitely not any real wheelin

[@dulustanafanasev4092]

👋🏻 your son Stallone?😁

[@ValdezEstrada]

HI

[@GWBarker]

and a pistol!

[@6point1hemi]

I appreciate the build and capability it brings. But these things are being built so capable now that driver skill doesn’t really matter anymore. It’s like a cheat code for lack of driving skills. IMHO, offroading has become like drag racing. It is now about the car and very little about the driver.

[@Rubicon14]

It will all cook off lol

[@ahmonguniform]

Can you beat the jeep gladiator in a rock crawling match?

[@ValdezEstrada]

Abner HI

[@TheRambler-pz1gx]

Yota trucks were at their most popular when dog hunting was still a thing. Everyone I knew had a yota with a dog box on the back......................this was before Wa became Comiefonia 2.0

[@MorganGlassco]

Lot of additional cost to crawl like a stock Rubicon 😆😂 Bad ass Tacoma, that Marlin kit is next level

[@AscendingBliss]

Yeah, except he has an engine that won't explode on him after 100k miles

[@chriscarter3071]

Pronounced: Ta-hoo-ya

[@jaycevessier7554]

Ole boy in the sad Tacoma would of done way better if he would air his tires down like the other guy

[@deirirenteria317]

First

[@justinjohns1324]

AUDIO IS TERRIBLE
