Take a stock Tacoma "muddin". You'll jack it up for sure.

Nah... Most of us like to keep our junk in running condition. I got the "muddin" bug out of my system a long time ago... Got tired of repacking bearings, draining differentials, etc. The only time I go through mud is if it's on a trail.

Different strokes, I guess, but most everyone on here is more into trails, crawling, or expedition type stuff. There's a few "mudder truckers" on here...but not many.

if you are looking for a mud truck why not just get a domestic? They have more room to drop in a big block, axles can handle much bigger tires and parts are alot cheaper to replace when you destroy them. Kinda stupid to make a mud truck out of a toyota.

In that case why not just get a tundra with the 5.7 instead of a tacoma?? I think you need to rethink this

Moved to Newbie Tech Section.

First off, just because people don't agree with your style of off-roading doesn't mean they're being a dick about it.

Best advice we can give is to search the photo gallery and the rest of the forum for that topic.

Fact is not many on here are into that.

Good luck finding your pics and if you want any tech questions, search the board and post up if you can't find anything.

I agree that a Tacoma probably isn't the best choice for a muddin' truck.
If you are dead set on a Toyota mudder I suggest an '89-'95 extended cab with a SAS and small block chevy transplant with a th350 automatic.
It would give you the height you need and power to at least try blasting through mud holes.
I would have plenty of spare front axle and transfer case parts on hand though and beer/pizza for the weekend thrash fests.
