Toyota Tacoma X-Runner
Added on July 26 by oxi

2005 Tacoma with the 4.0 liter V6 at 325hp/380 ft/lbs.

Truck has 2” Renton coils up front and for now a 3” drop block with Calvert traction bars and OEM leaf springs rear.

Power improved by TRD intake, URD MAF calibration software and Doug Thorley long tube headers with a Banks muffler.

Aero mods include front lower air dam, roll-bak type bed cover and rear wing. Tailgate is still 100% functional.

Street/rain tire setup are ASA 18x8 wheels with 255/45 BFG G-Force KDW2’s. Race is ASA 18x9.5 wheels with 285/30 BFG G-Force R1’s. Stopping them are TRD BBK front and a disc conversion rear.

Truck has competed with parking lot auto-x, high-speed auto-x on road courses and even a rally-cross event. Truck has ran on Blackhawk Farms, Autobahn and Road America road courses.

More mods to come! Check out more pics!

Great lookin' truck. I've got an S-Runner, still stock, tho. Could you let me know how the Cal-Tracs change the handling? I've only heard of them being used on muscle cars for the drags. How do they feel in the turns?

Is this the model with the six-speed manual? If so, how are the shift travels?

Impressive setup. Good to see someone using the X-Runner as Toyota intended.

How does an intake, headers and tune give you 90hp and 120 lb ft of torque?? I want to get on this gravy train!
