Solid Axle Taco at SEMA

[YotaJosh]

I want it!!! Digging the old school paint scheme. Apparently that's a newer model cruiser axle under there.

I've been seeing some of these pics on other forums.

This picture leads me to believe that it's got the FF FZJ80 rear end in it.

Well, I didn't shat myself, but I'm agreeing it's super cool. The retro paint scheme is almost as cool as the solid front axle, but I'm not really a paint guy, so the axle wins out. Are those bumpers or exhaust tubing bent to look like something? It would be very interesting to know the spec's on what they have put under both the hood & the drive train of this Taco (info is probably there, didn't do any diggin' at this hour). Touching on the interior . . . WTF w/ the one bee . ar a a ah . . cup holder? I'm gonna' have to have at least two drink holders. Given these flaws, I'd hit that.

The retro look is sweet, however, I really did like the Ducati Red Taco. While not wheeling worthy, very sweet looking and a setup similar to that except with room for a quad would make a nice Fire Dept Search and Rescue Vehicle.
