We also got Taylor’s canyon front end back together and sitting on four wheels. New spring packs having it sitting much lowered and the body roll should be more manageable

yes it is. Toyota axles locked front and rear. used a chevy 63 rear kit from trail gear. Tacoma length draglink

v8 swapped with a all aluminum 5.3 which is actually a lot lighter that the stock motor
