I've had a lot of people asking questions about my Tacoma and since its not 100% done I guess I can still start a build thread lol.

Truck:
1996 Toyota Tacoma 2wd manual reg cab 2rz

When I got it:
Extremely rough!
Hadn't been registered or ran in 4 years
Had a little custom long travel kit on it with 12" 2.5 SAW coilovers!
220k 2rz
Non op
Got it for $1200

It was trailered to my house and immediately pulled into the garage where it sat for three months while I worked on it!

Pretty rad truck man. I was just checking it out yesterday and it turned out pretty awesome! Thinking about putting a rock slider on the passenger side?

Pretty awesome man. What axles are you running? Looks like rock assault housings?

95toyrunner · « **Reply #11 on:** Nov 13, 2012, 09:53:59 PM »

I have a fj60 front and 3rd gen runner rear. I'm hoping to do a ruff stuff housing up front soon

Seriously man, I left all that stuff in the bed so Austin can do some work if he wanted. Just remember that it has a hole in the radiator so you need to fill it before you move it and then after about 2-3miles it'll need another 2 liter bottle's worth of water

coontailcrawler · « **Reply #14 on:** Nov 14, 2012, 11:13:24 PM »

haha will do man. How bigs the hole?

95toyrunner · « **Reply #15 on:** Nov 14, 2012, 11:41:20 PM »

Big enough to drain the radiator in like 5min of driving. I'd say the size of a golf ball. I'm gonna try and get a new rad in it over thanksgiving.

coontailcrawler · « **Reply #16 on:** Nov 15, 2012, 10:45:04 AM »

Dang man how'd that happen?

95toyrunner · « **Reply #17 on:** Nov 15, 2012, 01:03:09 PM »

Radiator wasn't bolted in and I drove it and it hit the fan

coontailcrawler · « **Reply #18 on:** Nov 19, 2012, 02:22:15 PM »

Lol good times man

Why would you ditch the 9.5in ring gear for a custom 8in housing. I'd leave it. Sweet ride other wise

95toyrunner · « **Reply #20 on:** Nov 19, 2012, 03:11:39 PM »

I love the 9.5 diff but I'm switching for a few reasons:

1) my 9.5" is 3.73 and I have an 8" in 4.88 in my garage.
2) the housing is pretty messed up so I need a new one anyways.
