- RAW footage of 3 first gen Tacoma's doing the Rubicon trail on our annual trip featuring good times and broken parts.
Both IFS Tacoma's are on 33's and the one ton SAS Tacoma is on 40's.
Looks like fun. Nice to see 1st gen Taco's sticking together.
Nice job editing this. Gave it the feel of the trail - nonstop obstacles.
Damn. Clean ass builds 👌 fun to see you guys use em so well
I got a second Gen but my heart is forever with the 1st Gen ✊
Cool to see IFS out there. CV axels break like birch wood sticks.
Beautiful machines and nice climbing, cheers.
Nice video. I did Fordyce to the first water crossing. Almost actually. Some built rigs were coming back up and said not to go down due to snow. Good times. 2021 zr2 on 34 swampers with a 2.5 inch lift and 4.56 regear.
Nice!! Smoth!! And quiet!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hell YES!!! What size tires are the IFS rigs running?
You should do a build walk-around with that SAS tacoma :D
Lookin good man! Let’s link up soon. Don’t think I have the travel for this😅 but we can find something fun - Ben
Awesome dope build. What bumper is the sliver one running with the spare tire?
A modified NWTI bumper with a swingout added to it
That red truck is beautiful
Thanks!
Can I put big tires on a 2001 Tacoma base model 2.4?
Cold world hustlers!
Around the 19 minute mark, was he quoting Chozen?
My G003's performed like shit on this trail tbh, but had a blast out here! Great video
My buddies brand new G003's performed noticeably better than my 1 year old set on the trail. Time will tell how they perform as they get older
Making me miss my 1st Gen....
Nice trucks being used right
Niiiiiice 🙌🏻
Impressed with the IFS ones. Mine is very similarly built. Never considered taking it through Rubicon but it seems like it could do it after seeing this. I'd probably put an Eaton front locker on it though.
Front locker, low gearing, and good driving help a lot 😁
@@ianlennox4633 I have the stock gearing (4.10) and factory rear locker on my 03. What gears would you recommend? It is my daily and tow vehicle so I wouldn't wanna go too crazy. 4:88's? I do struggle getting my boat out of the water sometimes as well so gearing would help there, too.
mirrors on the red one are pretty sick
Thanks dawg 🤙
Hell yeah
Hey , it’s my Tacoma’s cousins
How do you like those solo lower control arms? Anybody running the later sequoia spindles, balljoints and tie rods?
They're solid. No issues with them as long as you don't have the cams crossed up.
All stuff is for 1st gen tacos on our rigs. No sequoia parts
nice vlog
What wheels are on the 33” silver one? Those are sweeeet
Scs wheels. Don't remember the model. Maybe br8
Is that an AllPro front bumper on the red truck? Had it held up well in winching if you have used it?
Ya it is. Had no issues with it and I've put it thru the ringer
Which solid axle did you swap in? Looks dope
1 ton swap. Dana 60 and a 14 bolt
What lift do you guys run on the two IFS Tacoma's?
Roughly 2.5-3in with coilovers and custom leaf packs
Fuck yea more off-road vids plz!!!! Sick ass content
Appreciate it!
Besides the grey beast, are all others running on stock lbjs? Any ideas on a good mod for LBJs?
Yes. No problems with them as long as you check them for play periodically. Total chaos makes a lower uniball conversion for the 1st gen lbj. Expensive though
I have the same front suspension setup as the red truck except I'm running kings instead of fox. Did you have any issues? I haven't been able to get mine on a trail yet...
Issues with what component?
@@ianlennox4633 suspension setup in general. Also, what's the rear setup?
@@blakef8314 No issues so far really. Only thing has been the brake line fitting on the caliper of the tundra brakes coming in contact with the coilover at full lock and full compression. It has kind of self clearanced itself though now.
Rear setup and all other specs can be seen here: myoffroadbuild.com/build/ian-lennox-2000-toyota-tacoma
Can you tell me what the gear ratios are in those? I'm regearing IFS 33's and am torn on 4.88 or 5.29. Its Manual and I carry some weight.
Definitely 4.88 for a manual. 5.29 would have a wayyy high rpm on the highway with 33s. We're both 4.88. Mine is manual and buddy is auto
@@ianlennox4633 Probably a good call. This video is sick.
@@traviswolfe7862 thanks!
What wheels, size and offset on the IFS silver Taco? Any rubbing? Appreciate it
I think they're BR6 SCS wheels with 3.5-in backspacing. You have to hammer and clearance the firewall area and your fenders and flares in order to fit 295s, which he's running
I often don’t read about Ist gen undercarriage skid plates
Any details / suggestions ?
Thx
Both of the ifs 1st gens are running all pro skid plates. Both front and trans skid plate
@@ianlennox4633 thanks
If possible
Any final assessment regarding front / rear Ist gen bumpers for fire trails no extreme climbing yet an ability to move beyond certain elevation dips that end up bashing front / rear of these trucks plus extra gas/ fuel- fire can remain underneath and general commuting “ mayhem “
04 extended
Clean
2.7 sr5 manual w a/c / basic not even electric windows ( which I specifically did not want on my truck)
Any input regarding a non trd and… either sourcing a Tacoma elocker axle and going through the locker/ refresh and what is required to install and connect
Or is an air locker preferred ?
I do not come upon the elocker retrofit on line
Is it performance, or cost or ease of install by many and shops that drives a choice ?
any y’all doin this in a 5speed i’ve got an 02 5speed feel like it would be hard there
Mines a 5 speed. The red one. I have a crawlbox though which helps immensely.
I don't understand having the snorkels. Do y'all ride under water a lot?
I don't. They do help with keeping your filter cleaner though
What leaf pack and bump stop are you running? Also what rear shocks. Thank you
Custom alcan leaf pack: 500 lb over stock capacity and 3-in lift. 4-in durobump bump stops. 10 in smooth body Fox 2.0 shocks with resis
@@ianlennox4633 would be cool if you did a thorough walk around on your rig man , much appreciated on the info!
@@rO-sg5xl thanks! Maybe one day I will. It's pretty well documented on Tacoma world as well
What axles is the SAS running? Saw the WFO case in the rear so I assume 1 tons?
Ya. Dana 60 front and 14 bolt rear.
@@ianlennox4633 Thanks. Fun video to watch
Are those custom built mirrors on the red truck or bought somewhere?
Custom
@@ianlennox4633 any info on how you built them?
@@frassati_farm no. Bought them from a fab shop. Kyle green fabrication. If you hit him up he can make you a set
What mirrors are on that red taco
Custom made by Kyle Green fabrication
Any body damage on this trip?
Nope
Inspiring shit, boys.
does anyone know what gen a 1983 Toyota is considered I have one I have had since 1983 is it called the real Toyota lol where did they come up with the Tacoma name it always sounded stupid to me
They are generally referred to as “pickup” or just “truck” as my title said for my 91 as Toyota removed the name Hilux from the US market. (They were called Hilux everywhere else). The Tacoma was introduced in 1995.5 and is only sold in the US. The Hilux is still sold overseas. (1st gen Tacomas are from 1995.5-2004)
The generations are somewhat debated on the older trucks. Some start at the beginning, some seperate the 4x4s. Yours would be a 3rd gen pickup or 1st gen 4x4.
Does anyone have any idea how hard it would be for me to fit 35s on my 1st gen
Takes a fair amount of work to tub the front firewall to clear them. Lots of cutting and welding
@@ianlennox4633 even after the solo lowers, 35s won’t clear all the way?
@@rO-sg5xl not if you want to utilize all of your up travel. You'll have to cut something regardless
@@ianlennox4633 thanks for the response man. Looking to freshen up the suspension on mine and what route to take.
🤩🤩🤩🤩
What parts exactly did the red truck break ??
Passenger side CV axle
@@ianlennox4633 just the axle ? I thought I saw a hub on the ground
@@crispyboyy had to remove the manual hub body to take out the axle
@@ianlennox4633 the locking hubs are manual ?? Mine are automatic
@@crispyboyy ya some people swap them out for manual hubs. My 4cyl came with them. But I have since swapped to ADD for rcv compatibility
See, not everyone drives a jk, nice
A little driver lol
I just spent 5k doing steering rack, ball joints, controllers, and bearings cause of shot like this

Nice video! What’s the front suspension setup on the red Taco?
Fox 2.5 w/ DSC resis, TC uca's, SOLO motorsports LCAs, duro bumps, gusseted
