I'm probably going to sell all my rigs and start a new build soon and I'm looking for a couple of views on the plan.
I've been wanting another taco really bad as a wheeler that drives to the trail. I have more and more customers w/ sweet tow rigs, that want to reduce fuel consumption by being able to drive and from. The last couple rigs I've built for myself had that same intent (even though I still tow them).
A few things I wanted to know:
- What does it take to get the t-cases dumped on the pass side ( would like to run a chevy 44 front so I can get 5.89's that or I can do a hybrid 9 or flip a 44 chunk
- Is this thing just going to fall on it's face on the hills or will the following combo be decent?
40" radials.... not sure what's going to be around when I start the build
17" kmc's
built 44 and 9 or 60... 1/2 ton brakes
I'll try to keep the weight down but it's going to be linked and c/o'd all around most likely. (I'm not using race scales... just for you mr. foster
)
I'm just really liking the idea of a cab, probably just a reg cab truck. I want the 4 cyl for many reasons. I think I'd drive my jeep to the trail more in the summer if it wasn't so hot, but I like to tow because it's nice in the cab
I think a taco would be a good compromise.... I could be comfortable on the way to the trail driving it.... somewhat fuel efficient.... and I won't get any speeding tickets
