Here is a summary of what had been done up to this point
And here she is currently with a near-production-ready Heavy Duty Prototype 2.75-inch wider (per side) and now a
2-inch "rock crawling" capability (axle pushed forward 2-inches, known as
RCLT HD -- more info:

The truck is my daily driver, its done the Rubicon 6 times, and I've driven it on 40s and ran tails in Moab, Colorado, and Texas. As a lifetime 4cyl enthusiast, I am extremely impressed with the new 3.5 V6 and it gets around 19 MPG at 65 MPH cruise with the 40s.
I share all these pictures to hopefully get across that the Tacoma can be an impressive platform with the right parts.
I've also fitted cutting brakes (via dual factory e-brake levers) and can now out corner / out maneuver short wheelbase Jeeps.
So game on suckas! haha j/k
Let me know if you have any 3rd gen specific questions and hopefully I'll be able to offer some advice!
