ya i save some pic of this rig for refences for my fj. Pepe, do you know if the axles are cut down at all?

[iNfErNaL [OP]]

Pepe, do you know if the axles are cut down at all?

They're Currie Rock Jock 60s,so they're completely custom axles.  I remember when I picked both of those axles from Currie in the back of my F-150.

i miss seeing this thing everyday i wanted to drive it. New owner needs a lesson on how to use it  . oh and he wants to part it out for a buggy.

[iNfErNaL [OP]]

He does ? . What a bummer , that thing works really well the way it is , no need for a buggy . But then again , Jesse has always wanted a buggy . . . There's a couple of Jonny B's past rigs that have worked well and people have bought them , torn them appart to make them better and failed .

[mudaddict]

ya i just shook my head at that point but what i realized is hes got money to burn. Ya i wouldn't doubt it he knows what he is doing when it comes to that.

[iNfErNaL [OP]]

That is one guy who's spotting I wouldn't question . Dude can drive , no doubt about it . And he can build a rig .

[mudaddict]

agreed

Not all of his old rigs get that done to them, here's a friend of mine that bought the Supercharged Taco from him. Bought it and just wheeled it.

[iNfErNaL [OP]]

Steve's . He's actually one of the few that didn't . It wasn't supercharged when Steve bought it ,  he added the supercharger to it and changed spring rates up front if I remember correctly . He changed rims and tires too . That Tacoma right there is AWESOME ! ! ! . I wheeled that thing many times . I even wheeled it in Hot Springs , AR. It worked really well and drove nice on the street too . . . Truggy didn't get torn appart either . Julio from Trail Sport bought that one and I think about the only thing he did is add a little tube to the cage . I know a couple of his more recent rigs are still running as they were purchased as well , including his two FJ Cruisers . The long travel tan one and the solid axled blue one . . . His old Runner "nub" is still running around almost exactly as purchased as well . That Runner now lives in Norway :   

[Rocksurfer]

You'd be correct on all counts minor suspension upgrades and wheels & tires, but that supercharger is nice, I thought Jon had done the SC since it is the only way I ever saw it.

[iNfErNaL [OP]]

No , I remember when Steve first did that . He told me he had to do it . It did feel a little slugish before but it wasn't bad .

Nice looking Taco with SAS.  BAck in the early Daze, Allpro did my SAS conversion.
