Howdy all,
Steve from Alaska here.
Got a 98 Tacoma with 130k, 3.4l, 5spd. Looking mainly to go overlanding and some backcountry touring in the 4 corners area.
Learned quite abit just lurking, and as the mods progress, I hope to learn more about these fine trucks and their capabilities. I'm currently the midst of an OME suspension lift, with some 16 x7 steelies, and some bigger tires, so I can upsize to Tundra discs in the future.
Main uses will be some backcountry, trailering as well as hauling a fair amount of gear, so there is a regearing and a locker in the cards as well. The truck has 3.91 stock so maybe add a second transfer case to strike a balance between power and mpg.
Another project in the works is an 85 Toyota SR5 LWB, 22R, 5 spd, that will get some basic mods as well.
Looking forward to learning alot and having some fun in the backcountry.
Thanks for the benefit of all your experience.
Cheers
