Thank you everyone for the fantastic advice. Sorry it took me so long to respond but I have been away from the net for a few days. Looking like we will probably keep the JK. The only other factor is going to be seeing how well my wife does with driving it (since it is Manual). Every time she...
Howdy,
Feel like I haven't been on here in forever. So I used to do overland trips via an f650 Dakar. Many years ago I bought a 4 door 02 Taco to make into a rig but life got in the way and I had to abandon that project. I am currently in possession of a paid off 15 jku sahara with 3.73's. I...
Hey Adam,
If you don't mind I have a question for ya. I finally got around to putting all my suspension components on the truck this past weekend. Pretty much the same setup in the rear that you have (Dakar's with the OME AAL). Everything went fairly well with one exception, the tailpipe is...
Question for you. I have almost the exact same setup as you on my 02 taco DC. Still running stock tires. On the 255's with the stock rims any rubbing in the front on full steer lock? Also where are you seeing the rubbing in the back? Thanks, and you build is looking fantastic btw.

Just an update with some further info...Haven't had a chance to swap the tires or get under the truck yet...one thing I did notice on the way home yesterday though that might help with the diagnosis. It is def coming from the rear of the truck. as it just starts to be noticeable I can look in...
Awesome thanks for the replies. Gonna try the tire rotate and check underneath to for any leaks or to see if I encounter any loose parts in the drive line. Will keep everyone posted. For some reason I wasn't thinking it could be the drive line as it doesn't always happen, and when it does it...
Not as dirty as it sounds. :)
First a little back story. I am an ex motorcycle guy. Had a 05 Dakar and loved it. Loved the travel aspect most of all and wanted the family to join. Thus, I have just recently become the owner of a 2002 4WD Tacoma DC TRD. Got the truck used with 94k miles on...
