Unfortunately, used Tacoma prices are a strong argument for buying new. Nah, it will get better mileage than the old one. What the really needed what some additional seat adjustability, something they apparently left off. And what is this I hear about the rear of the frame having more flex...

Looks great! I'd leave it green and white with a wood rim steering wheel, but that's just me. I'm sure it'll look good regardless.

Looking forward to the build and more pictures.

Hello Christophe, I bought a 3.6R two weeks ago and agree with your article 100%. Side note: There are 4 grammatical mistakes, if you have time to fix those, I would then share on my social media accounts. -Doug

Looks like fun! Keep sharing your adventures with us!

It looks very nice, I like the roof basket! I have a 3.6R on order, so I look forward to seeing what you do with yours. Just guessing here, but I imagine it will involve a tire upgrade and under-body skid plates. That's what I plan to do with mine anyway.

That's awesome FLoffroad, thanks for sharing.

I placed an order for a Carbide Gray 3.6R today. Unfortunately, they are so popular that I am looking at the end of May for a delivery date. Four months! I'm looking forward to building my first overland vehicle and taking the boys exploring to see new places.

They can (so can some port injection engines), but if I remember correctly, lean burn with gasoline is not currently legal in the US due to NOx increases. Edit: On a previous car of mine, I was looking into HPTuners to implement lean burn and the Government made them (HPTuners) remove, from the...

Correct, I think the Euro6 standards are pretty clean, even when compared to gasoline.

I'm excited about the new dual injection 3.5L. For those wondering, the engine will behave the same, and as seamlessly, as the Skyactive engines in Mazda's products. It's called a modified Atkinson cycle engine and is essentially displacement on demand. When under light load, the intake cam...
