1998 TOYOTA TACOMA XTRACAB - BAJA TACO
While an engine swap remains in the Baja Taco's future, in the meantime, it still has the trusted 2.4 L Toyota I-4, OE Toyota five-speed transmission, and Toyota transfer case, along with a Marlin Spider TacoBox. The TacoBox is a 2.28:1 HiLux low-range equipment decrease box mounted between the transmission and also transfer case. Marlin was the leader as well as designer for Toyota low-gear decrease systems. His components don't fail, adding remarkable reliability and flexibility to the Baja Taco.
The Tacoma IFS front pumpkin has 5.29 equipments as well as an ARB Air Storage Locker. The OE Tacoma rearend has 5.29 gears as well as an ARB Air Storage locker, also.
For the front suspension, Jon selected Total Chaos Manufacture's long-travel front upper and lower 4130 chromoly A-arms with UniBall that changes the upper round joint for maximum wheel traveling. Fox coilovers with Eibach coils as well as Fox bypass shocks function well managing the Baja Taco's increased weight. In back, All-Pro's superb 3-inch Exploration leaf springtimes perspire by Pedestrian Evans 2.5 storage tank shocks. This suspension allows 35x12.50 R17LT BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM2 tires placed on Pedestrian Evans 17x8 beadlock wheels to be run with no problems.
What complete the Baja Taco are the All-Pro bumpers, racks, and shield. An All-Pro front winch place bumper easily brings a Warn XD8000i winch. All-Pro 80-inch rock sliders with their trademark "kickout" design maintain rocks at bay. The All-Pro rear tube bumper wraps around the rear quarter-panels, so the complete truck is safeguarded. All-Pro Off Roadway's Pack Rat modular rack system installs in the bed as well as holds an ARB rooftop outdoor tents and whatever else Jon as well as his family members may require in the backcountry.
The Baja Taco's mix of cargo bring capability, rock creeping armor, and also suspension make it an one-of-a-kind vehicle. Stripped of its Pack Rat system, it can abound the very best. With the Packrat installed, it enables comfortable backcountry checking out for as long as Jon intends to stay out.
