DefensorX's 2001 Toyota Tacoma


Last Updated: 10May06

Premium gas and the need for a larger interior has resulted in my baby being up for sale. Status: SOLD

I'm leaving the page/vehicle in my cardomain garage for nostalgia =)

2006 Sport TRD Double Cab was it's replacement. No plans for superchargers or any engine mods for that matter. It's just not a priority anymore. My motorcycle satisfies my speed cravings.

DefensorX's 2001 Toyota Tacoma

271 bhp / 306 btq @ 8.9 PSI manifold
Using chassis/brake dyno and compensating for 20% driveline loss.

Conducted one final dyno tuning at the Split Second shop. They were able to squeeze a bit more power out of it and smooth out the power band. Very happy. It also beat Mini-Truckin' Magazines project Supercharged Tacoma by 7 rwhp and 9rwtq which was also dynoed at the same shop. Not too shabby.

Regardless, for a lifted 4x4 truck, it's pretty quick. I'm happy that I can keep up with most street trucks/cars, and beat a few of them as well. Although, I still can't corner worth shit, but who cares. It was meant for trails.

If you have any questions, or you want to modify your Tacoma, shoot me an email.

On-board Air
Custom front high clearance bumper, high clearance rear, sliders.

Humvees are the biggest piles on earth. I don't drive these as much as I used to anymore (good thing).

If you think hummers are the ultimate all terrain vehicle you are an idiot and believe whatever people tell you. That's just my opinion, of course.

In addition, H2's are not hummers. They are rebadged, $60k Tahoes. Yup, sorry to ruin it for you.

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, thanks for the info though. I have already ordered my 2" suspension & some 35" tyres so should be better..

that sounds good, you have obviously been in this longer than I have. But down here we do more trailing where there is alot of mud involved. Aside from that I'd like to hear what mods you'd add to a Defender if you had one? If you don't mind me asking..

Thanks for replying man, actually you are right about the center locking diff. and I actully have to get lockers otherwise perhaps. But I have done alot of offroading and I rarely if ever have had to lock the center diff and I go thru alot of mud, etc..Just needs to be lifted some more and bigger tires and I'm happy. What's your idea of a good 4x4 like you were mentioning?
