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!

"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.

Does the truck have some form of a front axle disconnect? Curious how that fj t case works since my fj has a disconnect
@BigTireGarage4 күн бұрын

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
@BigTireGarage4 күн бұрын
Good point...and I think the Dakota of that era was considered a "midsize" truck
@Bolie4203 күн бұрын
@ yeah I would consider it mid size.

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 😂🤘🏻

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.

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
@BigTireGarage4 күн бұрын
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

@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....

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

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