Early this year I bought an '02 DC TRD 4WD Tacoma. I sold my well built Rubicon to buy this truck. It is much more practical for someone with my 'ailments' and the wheeling I like to do. The truck will remain my daily driver for a long time so I am keeping absolute streetability in mind. The cool thing is my job requires me to engage 4WD from time to time so I can justify some of these mods.
I am setting up this thread map out my build as well as ask you all advice.
Right now the concrete plans are:
Cooper S/T in yet to be deteremined size (stock or one size up)
Demello sliders
ARB front locker w/ upgraded capacity pump
Some things I am looking at and questioning are a rear seat replacement with a some sort of rack system. I never use the rear seats. What are the better choice for under armour and skid plates?
Also I do have to carry tools and am looking at tool boxes.. does anyone have any expierence with this one.... http://www.ironmansuspension.com/accessoriesutebox.html
I want something that is fairly easy to remove but cannot even tell if this would work with the Tacoma application. Besides work I use the truck to get to remote camping and fishing destinations in southern Illinois Wisconsin and the YUPPER. We tend to camp in a tent on the ground so I am not looking at rooftop units.
Since I have to drive to get ANYWHERE I want to keep weight down to help with gas mileage. I am thinking eventually I'll go with a tire/jerry can carrier but don't think I have found a front bumper that really appeals to me. Any suggestions? Any advice?
cheers,
josh
