Behind the Build
What is cool about this build:
When I started this build I went for functionality. I wanted something that would be able to perform and handle any terrain, but also provide comfort. This Tacoma build for me was very much an overland build meant to take anywhere and live out of for extended periods. I typically drive the Tacoma across country and camp for weeks on end exploring various states. When dialing in the suspension I opted for Arizona Desert Racing Shocks with JBA’s HD High Caster UCA’s. I wanted this truck to be able to wheel hard, but simultaneously maintain comfort for the easier trails. I can proudly say it does just that.
