Ultimate Adventure Toyota Tacoma; Stealth Camper

I have always loved first gen Toyota 4 Runners, but I also like all of the technology that the newer Tacoma's have in them. So when I found a good deal on a 2005 Tacoma, I had a plan to make a modern version of that classic 4Runner.

I remember when I first saw this build, I sent Ian an email asking if I could buy it off him when he was done with it. I never got a response and I think I know why! Great truck man, I love how it turned outl!

[@BigTireGarage]

Yeah...gonna keep this one for sure!!!

[@benjy6358]

[@hoagiesherlin7732]

Man i fell in love with that truck when you first started on it the fenders and bed side's did it for me and i've had a trekker and two first gen 4Runners

[@BigTireGarage]

Love all first gen 4 runner

[@Golden-69]

I remember this built. Welcome to the dark side😅 SCC next year in October?

[@abpsd73]

"It won't work" "Just buy a truck with the engine you want." This seems to be the defeatist attitude with a lot of brand owners. Some of us want a challenge, we don't do it because it is easy but because we can.

[@BigTireGarage]

Exactly!!!

[@samb198055]

This build reminds me of Toyota Hilux AT37

[@BigTireGarage]

That was what I was going for

[@Bolie420]

Now that I think about it it’s kind of similar to the ford ranger and explorer as far as the v8. Ranger never came with one but they had a v8 explorer. In fact the only small truck with a v8 that I can think of was the dodge dakota

[@BigTireGarage]

Good point...and I think the Dakota of that era was considered a "midsize" truck

[@dumbestoyster]

Wouldn't a 4RUNNER V8 be the best option for a Tacoma?

[@ALMX5DP]

I believe it's the same 2UZ V8 that is in there.

[@BigTireGarage]

Couldn't find a 4 runner donor..but found a great Tundra

[@stuartmorton3083]

How about fuel capacity cant remember if you did anything with that. That is one of my biggest issues with my tacoma is that it doesn't hold enough. And how about the mpg now with the v8

[@BigTireGarage]

I kept the stock tank...I am getting about 19-20 MPG on daily driving I took it on a trip recently with group of JL's and we spent 3 days wheeling and driving and I hot the same "trail" mileage as the JL .maybe just a little better
