This Built 2006 Toyota Tacoma Commands The Street and Trail - Four Wheeler Network
This Tacoma actually began life as a 2006 2WD Prerunner model. The shop installed a customized transfer case and the stock IFS 4WD parts from a salvaged 2007 Tacoma. In a nutshell, these guys chopped and removed the front and rear suspensions. Steering was addressed with a hydraulic-assisted crossover system, and the truck was outfitted with steel armor to protect the body on the trail. Toyota saw fit to send Tacomas out of the factory with independent front suspension. Ray converted his 2WD Prerunner to 4WD, but later had RockSolidToys torch the front end away. They then rolled a full-width Currie Rock Jock 60 with 1-ton knuckles under the truck and installed a custom three-link with Panhard. A ported Toyota IFS steering box was worked onto the driver-side framerail and crossover steering fabricated. Rod ends are used on the new steering arms, and a PSC hydro-assist ram helps Ray steer on. Source: www.fourwheeler.com
