As she sits:
Vehicle: 2006 Toyota Tundra Access cab, 4x4
4.7l v8
Auto trans
Mileage: 196k. I am confident that I will get another 200k out of this 4.7 with VVT
-Current mods: slightly larger than stock 265/75r16 General Grabber AT2
-cheap Walmart CB
-diff breather relocation
-OME Lift w/ LR UCA
-debadge
-TG 84" weld on sliders
-diff drop
-ebay snorkel
-TG wheel spacers
Near future plans (likely within 6 mo.)
-Homemade high clearance rear bumper. Still deciding if I want to build a swing out.
More distant plans:
-Winch plate bumper (probably homemade)
-35s
-Front and rear lockers, for sure rear, front would be more for strengthening front end. most likely going with ARB
-regearing for 35s
-IFS,Tranny,t-case skids.
-bed stiffeners
-
I really like the truck because of the v8, and the larger bed size. I don't know if I would prefer this or a doublecab Tacoma but this is what I've got and it's just as buildable as a 1st gen Tacoma imo just with less aftermarket support.
My main goal for this vehicle is more of the expedition type of traveling. I still want it to be capable of Hole in the Rock and the Rubicon but otherwise I will be doing expeditions and it'll be my daily driver.
Trying to keep weight down, MPGs up, but still want a rig capable of crawling a little bit.
