Hello everyone!
For most of my life Ive had Toyotas and they haven’t let me down. I had a decently built 2nd gen Taco that was swapped for a TRD Off-road 4Runner. My wife and I realized we needed a truck again, so I grabbed a TRD Tacoma. We loved it. Added a full Dobinson lift with 33s.
After that we had our daughter, and Tacomas aren’t know for the back seat space.
We then moved on to a Power Wagon. Something that was plenty big enough for everything, plenty of power, and didn’t need any work done.
Well, that didn’t work out. Had the truck for seven months and it started finding its way to the dealership more than we felt was comfortable. First was the exhaust broke at the cats, which is nuts. Second was the phantom battery drain.
We tucked our tails and ran.
SO NOW we have a JL and a JT. It’s exhausting starting and stopping builds…
The JL Rubi currently has an AEV spacer lift with 315 Cooper STT Pros and it may stay that way for a while.
The JT is a Mojave. Part of me wanted a Rubi, but I’m not building the truck for rocks. It’ll be more of a trail/camping vehicle. I have a set of 315 Nitto trails in the garage waiting and an AEV spacer lift (when ever they ship out) paid for.
