This truck belongs to a friend of mine. It turned out really well.

Looks good.  What kind of case and gears are you running?

that looks good, it would look even better with the rear axle moved back some.

I think he runs a samurai case with 4.0 gears. He plans on swapping out the 1.3L for a fuel injected 1.6L.

Yes it would.

this is kinda an odd question, but what kinda mileage does he get out of that thing, 1.3 is a tiny engine, so i would think good but because of the added weight of the axles and tires idk
'99 SR5/TRD Tacoma w/5vzfe. SAS'd with 64" diamond axle (w/ long superset & ARB). about 5" of lift, 305/75 x16 BFG KM1's. Soon to come: 1.5" more lift (6.5"), 35 to 37" tire, undecided at this point., 63" F/F diamond rear, Marlin 4.7 tacobox.

He doesn't drive it on the road so who knows. With the t-case gears, axle gears and tires, the odometer is no where near stock so you couldn't figure out m.p.g if you tried without some mathematics.

  oh man  just jump on the interstate with a stopwatch, and when you get between mileposts at 60 second  your doing 60mph  then figure from there where your speedo is,  chances are with the lower gears installed  i bet its not far from right

To my knowledge he hasn't driven the vehicle on the street once since he built it. The only way it goes anywhere is on a trailer. The vehicle regulations in our state are far from friendly. He would get stopped by the first police officer that drove by and would receive a dozen tickets.
