Ultimate Adventure Toyota Tacoma; Stealth Camper

[@TG-wf6ln]

I remember when I first saw this build, I sent Ian an email asking if I could buy it off him when he was done with it. I never got a response and I think I know why! Great truck man, I love how it turned outl!

[@BigTireGarage]

Yeah...gonna keep this one for sure!!!

[@benjy6358]

please do in depth of the colorado..i really love that thang..

[@Dagley918]

Always loved this build! Need V8 options in things that aren’t an arm and a leg.

[@TinkerersAdventure]

Damn, I thought my 2UZ RCSB tundra was rare. This build is 100X cooler😂 some killer work went into this!

[@BigTireGarage]

I've never seen another build quite like it.

[@moxmotors]

This thing is epic.

[@BigTireGarage]

Thanks

[@hoagiesherlin7732]

Man i fell in love with that truck when you first started on it the fenders and bed side's did it for me and i've had a trekker and two first gen 4Runners

[@BigTireGarage]

Love all first gen 4 runner

[@samb198055]

This build reminds me of Toyota Hilux AT37

[@BigTireGarage]

That was what I was going for

[@JBdizzy]

Guy i no Steven Spencer has one in TX, dude hell of a mechanic

[@BigTireGarage]

Is that the double cab?

[@abpsd73]

"It won't work" "Just buy a truck with the engine you want." This seems to be the defeatist attitude with a lot of brand owners. Some of us want a challenge, we don't do it because it is easy but because we can.

[@BigTireGarage]

Exactly!!!

[@jordanharris3749]

Does the truck have some form of a front axle disconnect? Curious how that fj t case works since my fj has a disconnect

[@BigTireGarage]

Yes...front axle has disconnect, that I hotwired with a switch

[@shanewright6958]

This was a great build and a great truck 👍👍

[@BigTireGarage]

Glad you like it

[@BahWeepGranahWeepNiniBong]

It's been a great build series Ian👍 Are you going to do more interior mods to the bed area? Also, are you commentating again at koh next year?

[@BigTireGarage]

Eventually and I believe I am...haven't gotten hammers.100 percent locked in yet

[@BahWeepGranahWeepNiniBong]

@BigTireGarage Cool mate, look forward to seeing it. Cheers👍

[@Golden-69]

I remember this built. Welcome to the dark side😅 SCC next year in October?

[@BigTireGarage]

I have a better rig for that one

[@Bolie420]

Now that I think about it it’s kind of similar to the ford ranger and explorer as far as the v8. Ranger never came with one but they had a v8 explorer. In fact the only small truck with a v8 that I can think of was the dodge dakota

[@BigTireGarage]

Good point...and I think the Dakota of that era was considered a "midsize" truck

[@Bolie420]

@ yeah I would consider it mid size.

[@Fparrish]

Man that’s so cool. My 05 Tundra was recently written off late this year. So replaced it with a 2011 Tacoma 4.0L. But man do I ever miss that 2UZ. Maybe in the future I should V8 swap it 😂🤘🏻

[@BigTireGarage]

You're in the right place for inspiration!

[@yamahaguil]

Is the GoManche coming back?

[@BigTireGarage]

Yes..

[@yamahaguil]

@BigTireGarage oh yeah! I love that thing!

[@companyman5497]

Yota guys are a strange breed. I say this as someone with 2 tacos parked in my driveway right now.. A lot of them are very skeptical of any custom mod that isn't from a big name with a hefty price tag. The number of times I've heard "can't be done" or "going against factory will only yield negative results" is quite frankly amusing.

[@BigTireGarage]

That's exactly why I built this!

[@travistraynham5286]

Ive got a 2014 regular cab with the 5spd. Wanna do another v8 swap?😊

[@jimmyvalhalla1939]

The best IFS is like the mildest venereal disease

[@BigTireGarage]

Ha ha

[@stuartmorton3083]

How about fuel capacity cant remember if you did anything with that. That is one of my biggest issues with my tacoma is that it doesn't hold enough. And how about the mpg now with the v8

[@BigTireGarage]

I kept the stock tank...I am getting about 19-20 MPG on daily driving I took it on a trip recently with group of JL's and we spent 3 days wheeling and driving and I hot the same "trail" mileage as the JL .maybe just a little better

[@JesusWSalazar]

@BigTireGarage Your next project by which you get donations to build and then prize off in some fantastic way but let me drive first: 3rd Gen, LBDC Tacoma, on portals w/37's, but fire breathing, under a custom hood, a 2nd Gen Super Charged Tundra motor. You know you want to....

[@dumbestoyster]

Wouldn't a 4RUNNER V8 be the best option for a Tacoma?

[@ALMX5DP]

I believe it's the same 2UZ V8 that is in there.

[@BigTireGarage]

Couldn't find a 4 runner donor..but found a great Tundra

[@joehop5780]

Same engine (4th gen 4Runner, Tundra, 100 series Landcruiser, Lexus GX470 & LX470)
