BEAUGXHBIGV's TACO'D BED

[Munky]

So im going to put this here cuz it probably wont happen for awhile, and whatever i decide to do from now on i can just add it here. Anyways, So the other night i was thinking not totally sure if im going to need winch on my rig or not time will tell over the next few weeks on the first couple of runs that im going on. Though either way im looking at stuff now so that if it comes down to it and i do need a wench i will have a plan of action. so that being said i know i can get

1. ARB
2. Shrockworks

though not totally sure if i want to replace my whole bumper cuz those kinda look like butthole.

3. Buy Material and get someone to let me build it/help me build it.

4. Get the Warn Tr4nsformer System (pics attached).

I really like my truck but since 2nd Gen Tacos just started in 05 not many kool accessories out there yet.

[AlxJ64]

Ehh, see, with wheeling, you are going to want more than some loops around the headlights and a grill guard. In that picture I really see the front valence completely eating it if you hit something of any substantial.

EDIT...
And x2 on what Kack says below... Don't tear up that new truck.. Get something old and go from there. Also, he is right on the winch comment. Always a great thing to have.

[Kack]

A winch will always come in handy but for the coin you spend on that ft bumper setup you can get a beater toyota and not tear up your clean truck. Hell, that Taco will pull a beater yota on a lightweight trailer. Vangard Anon from Nc4x4 and Pirate has dragged his rig all over the East coast with a purpose built small trailer, and his V6 Taco.

Just my .02

But a winch comes in handy if you ae somewhere that someone else doesn't have one

Oh yeah, and trees and shit will break and scratch those headlights and bumper REAL QWIK!!!

[Munky]

ya i figured as much though i guess ill just have to find a older taco or T100 that i can get, really dont want to hurt my DD that is for sure

[n2jeepz]

what kind of wheeling are you looking to do primarily? If getting into any rocks is in the picture I'd have to agree with Kack, the front of that truck looks sweet but it will get tore up quick.

I really liked the look of this S-10 who was behind me a Big Dogs in Sept, can you do something like that to yours?

[Munky]

how wrong would it be to DD a Taco and Wheel a CJ ?

[Basterdized]

There are tons of aftermarket parts out for the 05+ Taco. What kinda bumper are you looking for and what kind of wheeling do you want to do....... I speak from experience wheeling my FJC that the IFS that Toyota uses is very surprising.


Check out Total Chaos Suspension systems and Sway-A-Way shocks with OME rear springs. Put an ARB in the front with a good winch bumper from All-Pro or Demello or whoever put a good winch in it 33's and have fun. Also regear to 4.56's when you put 33's or larger on.

Build something else for the rocks......... Do not use this on the rocks!!!!!!!!!! I repeat DO NOT USE THIS ON THE ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!! Trust me I do know........


This things work good but do not hold up....... I have been through 3 rear ends and 1 front shaft....... keep this mild and build something else for the wild.

i mean i have seen alot of stuff out there for 05+ but it all kinda looks like butthole to me. not totally what all kinda wheeling im going to do i have been to the beach a couple of times and im going on GWNF run on 10Jan. other than that not totally sure

[Basterdized]

GWNF is a good spot due to very light wheeling to do but I personally would not do any harder than that.

[Munky]

THUS is why im looking at getting something cheap

[Basterdized]

I got a CJ 5 tub and front clip just get a frame and axles then your set! LOL

[Munky]

enter CPike trying to get me to buy his axles

[Basterdized]

lol

[AlxJ64]

enter CPike trying to get me to buy his axles


Nah, those are sold.. FINALLY!

[CPike3]

Axles? I have an idea....

[Munky]

lol fair enough, anybody know if Matt sold that 76 CJ?

[Kack]

Ther eis a 1000 dollar Ex Cab Yota on CL in Baltimore. CL seach toyota 4x4 and it's at the bottom of the page

[Munky]

ya thats kool though i dont really want to spend that much, cuz i just spent 880 on new tires for the 07, so 1000 for the truck, 300 for the exhaust, and 6 or 700 for tires, and like 30 bucks max for the window... alittle to much cabbage for me at the moment, and then what 2k for a trailer to haul it on.

[brmckenzie]

In my experience it is hard to find a good deal on a CJ that is drivable let alone wheelable. Most people just want way to much for them. Just my 2 cents.

[Munky]

fair enough

[Kack]

try 40 bucks for the exhaust. 250 for some tires and under 20 bucks for a window. It would drive wherever you want it to until you decide to try and break it on purpose and want a trailer

[Kack]

XJ's are pretty cheap too but they all need axles after a few runs

[Metalworx]

XJ's are pretty cheap too but they all need axles after a few runs

my last XJ had stock 30/8.25. Lincoln Locked rear, on 33 claws and it never broke anything but dshafts. You can run 33's all day and hardly ever break on stock xj axles.

35's is pushing it but seen it done. I got 44's to throw under my XJ because I have 35's with plans for 36-37 in the future.

XJ's are great wheelers and are cheap and parts are a dime a dozen.

Ive owned 3 XJ's since 05, and everyone Ive found on craigslist. My first one had 300k miles and ran like a champ, got it for 500 bucks.

[jhama78]

X eleventy on getting another rig to beat on... 86-88IFS toy 1k, Welded Rear 12pk at best and some silicone and gear oil, CL 32/33 mts 150-300, add-a- leafs/shackes for the rear 50-75bones, turn up tbars in front free, the fun you will have with it because you dont have to drive it to work on monday PRICELESS :devil:

[CPike3]

Yup, I made the same mistake with a Tahoe

[jhama78]

Kack unload dannys heep... get moneh to do work on teh 4skinner.

[apbt3178]

Yup! Plenty of us here to help you "shop" for parts that aren't gonna break the bank! So far, I'm money AHEAD building my S10!

XJ's are pretty cheap too but they all need axles after a few runsI have part of the cure for that here right now and the other part is less than 5mins from my house for $100.

I have a pair of 63's that I probably won't be using. :ts:
Have to agree that you have A LOT more fun 'wheeling a rig that you aren't counting on getting you to work after the weekend!

[Munky]

i mean ya it would be nice to do all that and im sure it would last a good while but that 1k toy is almost 5hrs away, i would have to get you one of you guys to go up there with me, although a 2500 toy is portsmouth, and def dont want to spend that much

[AlxJ64]

Theres plenty of folks on here with trucks and trailers. Just offer us some Fuel, beer, and to help out.. And you can prob talk someone with a tow rig into getting the truck for ya.

[Kack]

I'm going to baltimore on tuesday

I'm just sayin


Not pressuring you, but there are deals out there. keep your ears to the ground and you'll find something

[green73]

Why on earth are J*&P XJ's being brought into this thread? Unibodies....:rolleyes:

[Munky]

LOL ya ummmm man now if i can talk the woman into it, would like another yota.. but the CJ that matt has is cheaper, and closer

[AlxJ64]

Possible Beater Rig???

[Munky]

Possible Beater Rig???

http://norfolk.craigslist.org/pts/963724478.html

ya but no title ??????

[AlxJ64]

You can apply for a lost title with the DMV as long as it has a VIN number on it.

[Munky]

how much does that cost? and what all can you tell needs to be replaced/worked on? besides the head

[AlxJ64]

No clue on the lost title, but I think it ends up costing about $150 after its all said and done, which you can barter off of the price, other things it would need are prob the breaks gone through, bearings gone through. Fluids changed and maybe some electrical tinkering.. Possibly fuel system parts.. Typical stuff from a sitting truck..

THEN it needs some longer springs with some Boomerangs, and a set of 35s, spooled rear, aussied front and a Redneck ram hydro assist.. Build some bumpers and tadda... RIG...

[FULL AWN]

those things have more 14-16 gauge sheetmetal than anything I have ever seen:devil:

[jhama78]

if you go look at that thing check to make sure that the tub is in decent shape... i.e. the sides not getting ready to fall the fawk off of it from the doors back... a bud of mine had a 78 scout in high school and had to stop driving it because both sides fell off of it due to rust... :devil: and those are a bitch to do a spring over on because the ft axle had zero caster stock so you have to cut and turn the knuckles to get it to drive correctly after the spring over.... and knuckles themselves are bastard azz IH specific because they have 8 studs holding the spindles to the knuckles ...

so if yer gonna do xover steering ya should prolly swap to gm flat top knuckles... it could be a cool rig, but itll take some cabbage and some time...

fyi a gm front axle D44/10B will bolt in the front in a spring over configuration.. i had a traveler about 6 years ago with a D44 12 bolt combo in it...

my .02

heres a couple pics of the POS before I sold it...

had a kid drive from tenessee to buy this thing for 700 bones minus tires and wheels... :devil:

33x15.50 tsl sxs on a set of 15x12 wheels...

[Munky]

lol fair enough, i think im just going to wait till i can find a yota truck or runner that im willing to pay for. might be around tax return time though :(

[jhama78]

patience grasshoppa... good things come to those who wait... you will find a deal soon enough... dont rush into anything that could be a basket case and end up frustrating you... you want to pick up something that is running and driving so you can make upgrades for its off road worthiness not its road worthiness...

[Munky]

Yes i know Master, you could always sell me one of your rigs LOL

[green73]

J-Rod I never knew you did the scout thing.

Yeah Rust is definitely the enemy of the Scout. Those rockers just don't hold up.

[Kack]

That Scout had Trex Decking int he rear for a floor

Don't buy some basket case pos because it's cheap. Cheap deals that dont run are not cheap deals unless there is a direct linkto why the vehicle doesn't move/run.

If the tranny blew up yesterday while someone was driving it to work and they are selling it cheap because they don't want to deal with the tranny, then it's a good deal. You put a tranny in it and continue driving but random old rusty crap that hasn't moved in a long time is not a good deal.

Somebody is selling it because they've come to a point where they want it to be somone elses problem and they'll take a little bit of $$ to get it gone.

If you want a pound for pound vehicle that you can beat on with 33's or 35's straight out of the box, then grab yourself an 86-88 IFS, 4 cyl, 5 spd, Fuel injected Toyota.

The jeep guys are gonna jump me on this but the damn things just don't hold up to a beating as well with larger tires on them. The S10 guys are gonna jump me too but come on they have vacuum actuated 4wd. Nissan guys are gonna jump me but their engine compartments look like a spaghetti bomb exploded under the hood.

One will come along

I'm just sayin

I came here for the Terror Taco, all I've seen is a Tacoma... :(

Sad Fist, is sad...

A '90-'95 Toyota will do as well but you're not going to find a decent one for the price I think you are looking for. I bought mine for 2K and have maybe 5K in it and it has done everything I dared ask it to since I don't trailer my stuff where I wheel.

[Munky]

So Yall know i was at BJ's Warehouse today and say they carry BFG's cheaper than anyone else 265/75/16 were 204.95/each including mount, balance, lifetime rotate, road hazard, kinda kicking myself in the nuts. cuz i got my at TQ for 209 with just mount and balance

[Kack]

I paid 170 for mine, out the door with road hazard Load range E too. Gotta love price matching.

Can you please show us a terror Taco pleasE?

I def gotta say that jasons truck works damn well offroad, and is a faily simple recipe: Bumpers, sliders, a winch, and a rear locker with 33 MTs with minimal lift. and ya can have fun with it anywhere from fire roads to crozet and still drive it to work on monday if ya had to.

Jason you should try to make it to the chesapeak coffee run sometime so that Munky can check out your truck... Im gonna attempt to be there next weekend on my way through to work on my junk.

[jhama78]

Yes i know Master, you could always sell me one of your rigs LOL


Meh, I could sell you one of my rigs but then I wouldnt have a toy for every day of the week...:flip:

[Munky]

well i got out of the hospital this morning, seems i had mersa, they had to cut it out of me.

[Munky]

[gtrsnax]

Yowch, looks just like a lot of snake bite pictures I've seen.

[GreenTJ]

stock trucks and a bad thumb, something is wrong here

[Munky]

man wish i had enough cabbage for this http://norfolk.craigslist.org/cto/966586465.html

[Munky]

bringing back a blast from the past :greentj: :fst:

took the good ole factory beef curtains off of her this afternoon during lunch

[GreenTJ]

wow, and the truck is still stock, and your thumb is still fawked up

[Munky]

:dfinger: though ya that is true, im not going to do anything to the Taco, all my mods are going to be on Lafawnduh. And i finally popped my thumb the other day after 5 months. if only i could do it more often

[GreenTJ]

you finally poped your thumb out of your ass?

[Kack]

POP

[Munky]

no the knuckle :dfinger:

[GreenTJ]

not suprised at all

[Munky]

back from the dead with some bad news, I fucked up today and hit a fence. How much do you think it should cost to fix? Bent the shit outta the Bed right forward of the Gas Tank Door.

[lostcoz]

pics would help someone give you an estimate or atleast humiliate you here in public forum.......

[Gastank]

True on both fronts... Get a couple pics up... it might not be as bad as you think.... Is it creased anywhere?

[jhama78]

:facepalm:

[Munky]

eh

[onegreentj]

how did this happen?

[Munky]

coming out of my yard thought i saw a kid dart out in the street, so i checked the wheel and caught the fence

[jhama78]

dayum dood, that things pretty jacked... Maybe ya should think about an exo... :fist:

[CPike3]

:facepalm: I still don't understand. How fast were you coming out of your yard to hit a fence with the back half side of your truck?

[Munky]

dayum dood, that things pretty jacked... Maybe ya should think about an exo... :fist:
nah ill get it fixed, going to remove the fence alittle also

:facepalm: I still don't understand. How fast were you coming out of your yard to hit a fence with the back half side of your truck?
i was halfway out in the street when i turned

[GreenTJ]

Thats what you get for doing doughnuts in your yard to get the truck muddy so you get some street cred

[CPike3]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^this

[jhama78]

:devil:

[blkbetty]

thats about 1500 to 1800 worth of damage

[dtrailtaco]

damn man, that sucks. do you have full coverage? what is your deductable

i hit some an ice clump in a neighborhood with my bros rx8 this winter and the insurance covered it minus the deductable. that is an option for you. cant gar. your rate wont go up a tad, depends on your ins. but if the damage is enough then you might be covered. that is what full coverage is for:devil:

[lostcoz]

:fail:

[n2jeepz]

it'll buff out

yep full coverage, 1000 deductable, would it be smart to just lump everything into one "fix" , ie, i have a crack in my windshield, bumper is dinged up, and receiver is missing some powercoat.

[Munky]

Thanks whichever one of you changed the name of this Thread. and the Drum Roll Please

Roughly 3k on the estimate, found out this morning that my deductible change i put in didnt take effect yet so 500 is what i have to pay. I called last week like Wednesday and raised it to 1000. That is just for the cab, bed, flare, and step.

[Kack]

My guess was 2800. Paintwork will kill you. Take it to the dealer, let them do it.

[jhama78]

and once the truck is fixed... dont drive it into immovable objects.... :devil:

:fst: Just haven't had a chance to bust yer balls in a bit brah. Lemme know next time you're closer to the coast!!!

[Munky]

got it back to day looks clean, only things that suck are:

the gas door moves with the wind, it doesnt open but you can see it rattling in the mirror

and the Gas Cap isnt connected to truck with a plastic "line" anymore

[vapathy]

and the Gas Cap isnt connected to truck with a plastic "line" anymore


:facepalm:

[Munky]

whatz that for Paul? they cut it off and didnt replace it

[onegreentj]

sounds like quality work

[vapathy]

whatz that for Paul? they cut it off and didnt replace it

I understand they should have put it back but are you really upset that its not there. The door flapping is a different story.

[Munky]

im not totally upset, was just saying those were the 2 things that i have found wrong with the job.

[vapathy]

Have you checked the bolts to the gas door, are they loose?

[Munky]

it looked to be 4 rivets, ill look at it tomorrow though

[vapathy]

Are they loose?
