My Tacoma is an extra cab with no backseat. My 8 year old uses a “booster” in an adult sized race style seat. The booster raises him up enough in the adult size seat to use regular belts. He has been running this set up since he was 7 and will probably need it a few more years.

I like that I can remove the booster and have a full sized seat again in seconds.

I do the same for my 6 year old. She has a full size adult seat and she uses the same Graco booster as in my regular truck.

It’s a tight squeeze with the cage in there. Gotta figure out if I’m going to run stock bench with 4 point for 11 ur old or ditch it and add youth seat for him and figure out something for lil one… think 4 point with stock bench till lil one is enough for racing bench/seat.

Mine is currently setup with an adult seat in the rear for my 6 year old, but as my son get closer to desert age (he's 2 months old now), I'll likely reconfigure the rear to have the adult seat behind the front passenger (scoot the front seat as far forward as possible) and a child seat behind the driver.

I had my 11 yr old sitting in a pillow in passenger seat but got an ACE’s 4” booster pad yesterday. Should work great for him.

My 6yr old is a skinny lil boy, he definitely needs a car seat or possibly a youth seat with booster… maybe a UTV or Jeep bench seat would work in back. Older boy would fit with no booster and lil guy would fit with booster.

The taco emblem from my old truck, felt right putting this on as the interior is all from that truck and so is several parts; rear shocks, springs, bumps etc. Loved that truck!
This truck was fun till she wasn’t…

RIP Rojo!

She was my work truck for the day. Problem is can’t idle with AC on and watch the guys work lol. I paid for this fuel and AC isn’t charged yet.

Hit Pisbro with kids other day. Super tracked up and choppy from all the golf carts. Was fun till P2111 code (TB stuck open).



Cleared code and drove fine then hit again and went in limp mode back by sand drag area, cleared code and told buddy who had his three kids we should back then bam dead in water lol. Don’t think woulda been fun pulling my trucks dead weight with his stick 4Runner out of dunes ha. Got her up and running and bounced!

Ordered up Aisan OEM throttle body replacement for peace of mind and figured I would clean the og one and keep as backup.

Picked up a rear diff carrier with 5.29s and LSD from @Motiracer38 , thanks again man! Hoping it has some yota mojo leftover from his whip and rubs off on my dirt yota! Should help get me out of first gear in sand and truck happier over all!!!

 

[dwphoto]

what gears were in it?

And @Haulin&Crawlin scope this thing out.

 

[Dirt Yota]

@dwphoto it currently has a stock, whatever the tundra it came from had desperately needs it as she barely gets out of her own way. The old red one has 4.56 w/33 and boogied.

1st Gen Tundra's are 3.91. Jumping to a 5.29 will be awewsome.

A lot of first gens had 3.73 gears as well. I believe it was the tow package that added 3.91 gears with a limited slip.

Nice truck! lol

Glad your happy with the build Cory.

It was a hard build to complete considering I got married, divorced, and almost went out of business all while trying to finish the truck

Also those months I spend not able to walk after getting severely burnt didn't help.

After that first trip to pismo, I knew it was worth all the effort.

Excited to see what comes out of shop as you keep squirting on metal, a true artist!!!

Knocked some basic maintenance, fuel filter, plugs and wires. Truck as 170k and they were original plugs (Toyota ran 3 NGK and 3 Denso) and one would assume it was original fuel filter too. The driver rear plug was a pita!!! Scraped up knuckles and many curse words but got it done. The best part is this fixed the misfire I was getting at high rpm just before rev limiter! Stoked!!!

Oh and she now lives that pampered life in the garage! Last cpl nights I made my boys go tell her goodnight as she is officially part of the family, my favorite child or is she my mistress???? Milestone getting her in garage!!!
