All Political BS aside . . . How'bout a Tacoma concept vehicle

[iNfErNaL]

With a solid axle ?  . This is at SEMA right now :

[iNfErNaL]

I know the economy is bad but if it went into production that would be bad ass!!! 

[*FFC*]

That's awsome Solid axle you say?

[iNfErNaL]

 Uh huh 

[*FFC*]

We were offered sema tix from our work this year... but we had to take the time unpaid and find our own transportation - which is fine, but we can't afford to take the time off AND take a trip One of these years I'll make it....

[ajordan1975]

[ninja turtle]

any pictures of the front axle

Who makes this axle and what is the suspension like?

[Duffil]

probably a DANA unit, huh?

[94MtnYote]

 it would be awesome if they threw on one of those cruiser axles from overseas.

[79coyotefrg]

[iNfErNaL]

Yup , I agree . I haven't seen the axle so I don't know what it is . I kinda doubt it's a Dana but it was confirmed to me that it is a solid axle . I really dig the retro paint scheme and roll bar .

**edit**

It's a Landcruiser axle.

[Duffil]

mmmmm lower links.

[brockbuilt85]

i would buy one!

[Cheesemaker]

I'm digging the old school toyota look, including the white five spoke wheels.    

As for going into production, I doubt it, since they put IFS into the new LC's!

[94MtnYote]

 To this day Toyota does produce solid axle Cruisers for other parts the world.

i would buy one!

I wouldn't. They are too damn big, and I think they are ugly as . I like the older, smaller Taco body.

[BUDDERS]

I like it, all except for that front push bar.  Those things are useless.  If the ditched the front bumper completely and made a nice tube bumper for it, I'd rock it!

I especially like the grill.

[Rocksurfer]

You can't deal with change can you?  I like it!!!

[Toymin8r]

So tell us how you really feel.  

I like it, all except for that front push bar.  Those things are useless. 

All of those bumpers made in the 80's were useless.  Why should one trying to mimic the 80's style be any different.

[Yota-Freak]

i hate new crap..lol. if i rolled that thing id do more than cry..lol. hell a dent would put me to my knees.

[solar86yota]

Not the best lookin truck, but a solid axle production Toyota truck sounds sweet. 

[46&2]

That gives me a lot of hope to see a Tacoma like that with a solid front axle. I will be keeping my fingers crossed....
