As much as I would love for you to have a 3rd gen 4runner, I would be pretty bummed if you sold the Tacoma. I love that thing.

Some pictures of the yard sale this project ended up being. I wasn't able to install the Aussie Locker myself. Ended up taking it to Jaws Gear & Axle in Sacramento, Fast turn around and great pricing.

Nice Matt, your taco has come a long way since I last saw it. All the weight you have added up front must be really nice, now that the weight matches your front coils?

Build update is I sold the Tacoma back in 2018 and bought a 1998 4runner Limited that was in fair shape just been restoring/ fixing that up. I haven't done any serious mods on it yet, just been my daily driver/ weekend camper. It hasn't seen any serious trails still just fire roads

It is good to see you back on YT again. I just recently got back to YT a few weeks ago. Each step brings us closer to our dreams.

When's the next trip? I think it would be cool if we had a small group caravan up to Gold Lake just to hang out sometime this summer.
