ok im getting a 2001 tacoma in the next month..i want to lift it 6" and run 35's and get a arb bull bar with winch...but other than that im not really sure what else i should get..like what things i should get first..to help you decide.. ill tell you what i would like to be able to do with the tacoma..it definately has to be able to handle some pretty deep snow. it needs to still drive pretty decent as it is my only means of transportation. and i want to be able to handle some of the rougher trails..anything helps..

Armor - T case skid for sure, sliders, etc.

If you're going to be even close to rocks sliders are a must.... Or not if you like big dents.

well dents do add some character... but i think the sliders would be enough character without the dents...wheres a good place to get them

with only 6 inches of lift and 35 inch tires, you will probably rub a little bit, especially on trails. then the bumper and winch will only add extra weight to the front. may want to consider a body lift, too. good luck with it and post some pics. when you get it finished.

with the 35's you'll need to regear, most likely 4.88's if you have a V6 5spd or 5.29's with a V6 auto or 4cyl. it sounds like you've got some money, i say get some adjustable coilovers as well, this way you can lift the front a little more to compensate for the sagging under the weight of the bull bar, and help cut down on rubbing. Also, two free and easy jobs you'll want to do are 1. pinch weld mod and 2: grey wire mod (if you've got the TRD paskage) both write-ups are on customtacos.com

What would be better you think..get a tacoma with TRD package or get one with out and just add lockers front and rear?

 

[synovus]

That's probably more a personal preference thing. I'd go with the TRD packaged Taco, and get an ARB up front.

O boy... first off, what is your budget for your total build and how soon do you want it done? What engine are you getting; I suggest the v6 for what you propose.

this ain't gonna be cheap

with much to play with I would find an early model Taco for under $10k (you'll be lucky to find an '01 for the entire $18K). then do a solid axle swap on it.
