1998 TOYOTA TACOMA XTRACAB - BAJA TACO

While an engine swap is in the Baja Taco's future, for now, it still has the reliable 2.4 L Toyota I-4, OE Toyota five-speed transmission, as well as Toyota transfer situation, together with a Marlin Spider TacoBox. The TacoBox is a 2.28:1 HiLux low-range equipment decrease box installed in between the transmission as well as transfer case. Marlin was the leader and designer for Toyota low-gear reduction systems. His components don't fail, adding tremendous reliability and also flexibility to the Baja Taco.

The Tacoma IFS front pumpkin has 5.29 gears and also an ARB Air Locker. The OE Tacoma rearend has 5.29 gears and also an ARB Air Locker, as well.

For the front suspension, Jon picked Complete Turmoil Construction's long-travel front upper and lower 4130 chromoly A-arms with UniBall that replaces the top round joint for optimum wheel traveling. Fox coilovers with Eibach coils and Fox bypass shocks function well dealing with the Baja Taco's raised weight. In back, All-Pro's exceptional 3-inch Exploration leaf springs perspire by Walker Evans 2.5 storage tank shocks. This suspension enables 35x12.50 R17LT BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM2 tires installed on Pedestrian Evans 17x8 beadlock wheels to be run with no worry.

What complete the Baja Taco are the All-Pro bumpers, shelfs, and shield. An All-Pro front winch mount bumper easily lugs a Warn XD8000i winch. All-Pro 80-inch rock sliders with their trademark "kickout" layout maintain rocks away. The All-Pro rear tube bumper wraps around the back quarter-panels, so the full vehicle is secured. All-Pro Off Road's Hoarder modular shelf system places in the bed as well as holds an ARB rooftop camping tent and every little thing else Jon as well as his household may require in the backcountry.

The Baja Taco's blend of cargo bring capacity, rock creeping shield, as well as suspension make it an one-of-a-kind vehicle. Removed of its Packrat system, it could crawl with the most effective. With the Hoarder installed, it allows comfortable backcountry discovering for as long as Jon intends to stay out.
