You absolutely owned this video. You didn’t smother Arleen. You asked great questions and knew some much about the build components, but led him into the descriptive. I know shit about builds like this, but I subscribed because of the incredible interview and solid edits. Some creators could learn a thing or two watching this clip. Not sure why the algorithm UA-cam gods sent me here, but certainly glad they did.
I'm 3/4 the way through my first gen build. Bought it stock and did the supercharger/7th injector and bolt-ons. Now I'm almost done built 2j/t56 swap. I am doing just a bed cage for now. If I had known I would have to remortgage my house to swap a 2j, I would have just ls swapped it but I'm so close to finishing it now I can't stop. #allhailthefirstgen
Hell of a nice way to fill out a Taco! Once upon a time, a '99 Taco was a dream starter truck for me, found a used one for 12K, no one believed me that it was a good deal even though it had 90k on it at the time. Few years later, that first gen Tundra was calling my name, but it never happened. Ten years later, 2nd gen Tundra is mine for life! 😁
I grew up in Escondido and that was what everyone was building out there back in the mid 2000’s. Good video. Only thing I miss about California is the desert 😢
Im literally just about to pull the trigger on some control arms for my T100. I’ve been back and forth with Harry all this week. Perfect timing on this video.
Not much info shared on the rear end? So, We built it at the end of 2021, when it had the supercharger. We installed 5.29's with a 31 spline spool. Nice truck and glad to see it's still running, JD fab does great work!
Escondildo 😂😂😂 My home town and my favorite is Tacoma’s! Crashed in the same desert going over 100 before the sky went sideways- dad sold the 650 bored Baja suspension while I was in boot camp and it’s trucks to a buggy after 😂 This truck would be great to race on the streets back in the last 90’s!
It doesn't look too unusual, but he's also got a ton of space between the UCA/spindle and the wheel/tire. I think he just needs wheels with less offset. Most people don't think about that stuff though and just run whatever wheel looks cool.
Idk why buy it seems all of us Toyota guys have the same setup going on, I was worried about mine for a while but a couple thousand dirt miles on mine and no issues!
@@WhyBeNick Good point, My buddy is running OG walker bead locks as well but I designed my kit around 0" offset wheels so even on 37x13.50s the wheel is not fighting him. Truck has over 2k baja prerunning with the stock rack from 2007. I picked my KMC beadlocks because they look cool 😅😂
Just picked up my first gen Tacoma. 2002, 3.6, 4wd, double cab, Fabtech front shocks with add leaf, 2.5 lift, and a flowmaster. 142k odometer. Looking to get started on some novice trails in Riverside County and move up from there!
It's a perfect every man's truck! Something you can count on to have good time and enjoy driving without too much fuss and expense. Plus it has A/C. 👏🏼🇯🇵💪🏼
Right I have a 06 Dakota and loved it. Its like the perfect medium size truck. The back seats arent really big enough to seat passengers comfortably but the 4 door is perfect for the extra room. I wish there was some aftermarket support for it though. Unfortunately Im pretty sure I just blew the motor though so Im driving my first gen tacoma rn.
I have a question about the part where the ball joint goes, which is a piece that is welded, what is it called, I would like to know the name to make it or buy it
Wow glad happened to click on this video. I also had a terrible accident in July of '00 on an ATV while practicing for an upcoming race and that day changed me forever. Was in really rough shape for awhile after almost dying and my injuries to list a few were a broken neck in 3 places in 2 different disc's, all ribs on right side front and back, broken right wrist (wasn't discovered until 6 weeks after accident) separated and destroyed right shoulder, severed nerves going to my Deltoid in right arm... My life has gone downhill ever since as I also had head injury that completely changed who I was as a person, I didn't see it at first but knew I somehow felt trapped inside my own body.. Has continued to cause issues throughout my life and just never been able to get back on track but always super happy when I see others who have after similar type of things happened to them as well. Glad it's all worked out for you both👊
Dude I just broke my leg for the 2nd time recently and had surgery yesterday for rods and skrews in my leg aswell as breaking collarbone from my dirtbike and I’m wanting to build a 1st gen like this and gonna sell the bike. Can’t wait to get a 1st gen asap
@@ToysForTheBoyz Love your truck man. Best of both worlds. Do you know if you could keep the stock dash and put a third seat in between the two PRP's if you were building this truck from scratch?
Lmao I know where that is. I used to drift my Starion around there and I was going to have the shop around there do my long travel on my turbo 87 4runner but I ended up selling it... I miss that truck.
3.4 is great, but my first gen Tacoma S.A.Swap has a 2.7 , much more dependable motor, and as far as riding motorcycles, it's not for everyone, I wouldn't give my bike up for anything! I would get rid of my family before my bike! 😆 Sweet Tacoma but it needs a Dana 60hp in the front, I crawl, ain't no where to go fast here on the east coast, my taco is a Crawler/Hauler , I'm to old and damaged to go fast, I like going so slow you can get out, take a piss and then get back in while rolling! 😆
"Fantasy" - Maria Carey plays in my head as I learn more and more about this TACO! SICK. He 4 sure poured his soul into this! I wonder how many times he's replaced his tires?!
I love the shit that you can do with this truck. No one knows how hard this is to accomplish! The mistakes you make trying to get here can cost a lot of money and you will end up with a mid travel suspension system that looks almost exactly like this even the same manufacturer. JUST SI EVERYONE KNOWS EXTENDED TRAVEL IS MID TRAVEL! Again EXTENDED TRAVEL IS MID TRAVEL! YOU WILL GET THE SAME TRAVEL AS A MID TRAVEL KIT. PROS; You may end up with the BEST mid travel system that money can buy on the market today and all you have to do is switch out the front back coil overs and upper and lower LCAs!

what a nice truck ! I‘ve always loved the body shape of the Tacomas! Nice build … two thumbs up on this one !!

Woooah. See it through man!!
@Ryan O absolutely 💯
Time and money. Want it done this year. The next purchase is a rad/fan set up from PWR and then I will get the bed cage built.
Sick build. Looks like a ton of fun. Love how unassuming it comes off as. Straight ripper.

Best video this year thus far. More BTD, less Darren Parsons with his Jeep!
Ya jeeps are super gay…
This truck is gangster… it just needs to get off those 10year old tires!
Terra sucks because James is the most annoying person on the annoying person in the world, besides his wife

Chill af the put him behind the wheel. Maniac. 🤘🏽
Nice Taco!
The scrub radius on those spindles looks rough. If you look at the SAI it's pretty much at the inner sidewall of the tire.

That 4 door Dakota in the back round though. You never see those. I had one in high-school and no one made anything for them.

Hey man love the taco!! Who makes those side mirrors?? And would they fit a 91 4runner?

Those rotted out window sills. Classic for the 1st gens lol
Love that LS1 in that truck. I want to do the same to my Seqouia lol
I am putting one in my 1983 Toyota trekker 4x4 right now
In adition Leaf springs party harder 😂
Word! Sikk old school fabtech bumps.

Where can I get those flared fenders

Dope Vid. What out for that High Voltage Box 😳
Does he still have the supercharger, I’m wondering if he would like to sell it?
Toyota will always be king
Post a link for the IFS kit and spindles
Call JD Fab in Escondido, CA and they’ll get you dialed in
@@ToysForTheBoyz Love your truck man. Best of both worlds. Do you know if you could keep the stock dash and put a third seat in between the two PRP's if you were building this truck from scratch?
@@shannon3931 you definitely could put one in, just leave the center of the front seats empty for more leg room
@@ToysForTheBoyz Thank you for the reply man. Stunning truck. The heauxxs wasn't ready for it.
Good amount of weight in the back to balance
Lets see it in the desert
Wont that LS 1 have lifter failures @ 20k-45k miles though???😮😢
Not if you upgrade to the ls7 lifters when building it
what happened to the ranger build????
Filming this month!!!
Always two batteries in a vehicle to boat! Nice!
Lmao I know where that is.
I used to drift my Starion around there and I was going to have the shop around there do my long travel on my turbo 87 4runner but I ended up selling it... I miss that truck.
Been building these since the eighths in aus

Guys have the same accent as Jesse James. Nice truck Maaaaan
If I was blind I would think it's Paul Walker talking to himself about cars 😬😆. Duuuuude!
Dude I actually get that a lot, and they I look like his brother Cody too lol
"Fantasy" - Maria Carey plays in my head as I learn more and more about this TACO! SICK. He 4 sure poured his soul into this! I wonder how many times he's replaced his tires?!
wish I could make my taco look like this
What bike?
best video ive ever seen!
Sick ass taco man i would love a toy like that!
Dude tried LSTACO and saw it was taken, by me 😂 Sweet Taco man.
That was my first choice lol
Nice vid, nice rig man. Very cool. I'm jealous
i deno about that ''tons of power'' statement. power of a 4 cyl but drinks gas like a v8
4 cylinder don't make torque like a V8
Love the truck bud!¡!! Wish I could get one..
THATS SOME GOOD TOYOTA!!!
tons of power? the 3.4? hmmmm
LS but but but what about the reliability?
With a couple parts ls motors can be damn near bullet proof
Fabtech cast iron spindle or wat???
JD fab custom
Sweet hella tight truck ⭐⭐✌😎😎😎👽👽👽
Beautiful. Just missing a third seat
Any plans for this thing?
Yeah, imma try not to roll it....
That vehicle smog legal right????,
I used to live in Escondido now it’s a giant crap 💩 hole 🕳
I’m in love 😍
what kind of mirrors are those?
One of one JD Fab Kustoms
Esco foos where you at 👊
Love that build.
This is what they should have came with there to heavy and move like slugs my pops has the v6 and it’s so slow 🤣
That's a sick truck.
My taco needs this!!!! 😋
Shoulda Swapped for a V8 IForce Turbo Charged. Would of lasted a lifetime w same effect. 🎉
This makes me miss my 1st gen.. 😭
Dodge was on to something with putting a v8 in a midsize but they f****d it all up with torsion bars in the front.
How much rear travel?
Strapped at 18in
Tons of power said no 3.4L owner ever lol
I scratched my head when he said that too. Moat people complained about their lack of power, that was their secret to longevity
May or may not have enjoyed those donuts 🤣😂
“Alleged” donuts. Allegedly.
@@woohoo59 Dangit...(cough) donuts (cough)
Wow, what a truck 👌
Badass tacoma
May or may not have spun some donuts.....😂

It’s would be registered in Arizona. You can’t have fun in Cali with all does mods
Cool truck
Very cool ride!!!
Nice rig!!! Just make sure it’s not in track mode. 😂😂
This is basically what I want
Wheels flying off tacos lower ball joints? What’s that shit about??
Lower ball joints are known to fail on these trucks. Gotta replace before 100k miles, im sure sooner with a pre runner
I got a chub looking at this taco😜
I need that truck, gimme!!! 😂
Super Cool.
Take it to Glamis😎
That’s the plan 😊
@@ToysForTheBoyz hmu let’s film a video🤙🏻
Tons of power 💀
I just call the tacoma 1 gens were made in the 70 the 2wd hilux. Then its went to sr5
Holy crap that’s cool
Damn this looks good
I do love me some Yotas!
Zelda is legit
Wow this shit is clean. i always dreamed of throwin a v8 in my 93 toyota pick up
