The point was to provide more interior room for the fam (Wife, 13yr old, and German Shepard) for camping trips. we typically go dispersed camping in the national forest and do some mild wheeling during our trips. the trail around here can be pretty tight and the Tacoma's paint and overall condition made me re-think taking it wheeling. so long story short I decided v8 4runner 06-09 and of course 4wd. with improve room, shorter wheelbase, towing, and capability, I knew it would be a vehicle to enjoy! Let the build begin!
I do as much of the work myself (98%), first on the list was to catch up all maintenance which meant a timing belt, new cv boots (old inners were ripped), all fluids, misc things like lighting ect, ect. Still awaiting my Dobinson's IMS suspension so I can mount my new wheels and tires (33"). Maybe I will do a build thread, but I've already missed out on a lot of picture opportunities.
Anyways, Hi. I can here for the great information that I know was here just from being a member @ TacomaWorld. Thanks for all you do!!!

Hey 4Rlove,
In casual everyday driving can you really feel a difference in the V8 vs the V6 in your Tacoma?
