Wow, thats an amazing job they did to that truck. Got to have some big gonads to cut up a new 30K plus truck.

Yeah, not something I would have the guts to do myself but they built it right and its an incredibly capable machine.

Now THAT is a proper off-road truck! Not like that lifted red hermaphrodite of a mall cruiser from an earlier thread.

Correct. But the point I was making if youre going to build a serious rock crawler with an insane RTI, a Tacoma is one of the worst bases to start with, which does go to show that the Tacoma in the build posted above is quite impressive indeed. But they should have spent their money elsewhere, IMO.

Now, building a Tacoma Pre-Runner/Baja would be worth the money.
