Dan's 2001 DC Build

This is my 2001 3.4L V6 DC TRD 4x4. My dad bought it back in 2002 and gave me this truck after he bought a 2011 black DC Tacoma.
Started modding my truck in January and now that I feel I have done a good amount to the truck so far there is always a long list of more things I want to do haha.

This was when it was still stock before my dad gave me the truck.



January 2011, when i first lifted it.


In the snow. February 2011


March 2011
Plasti dipped the rims and spray painted the fenders flat black


Added a light bar i made myself, and some lights.
May/June 2011


Tints: 20%


New All-Pro tube bumper (8/6/11)



New Toolbox, and relocated my bed lights to reverse lights on the bumper (1/12/12)


Here is my latest addition: My new TOYOTA decal from SockMonkey! (1/28/12)


Its been a lot of fun working on my truck so far and hope i get to do a lot more in the future. Thanks for looking.

nice build man

 

Nice build you have going Dan, I didn't notice, but are you Prerunner or 4x ?

 

thanks, its a TRD 4x4.

 

now all you need are new shoes

 

yeah hopefully tires and rims will come this summer.

 

Nice build man!!! I have a similar truck and i wanna put on the same lift setup. Did you install the lift by yourself?

 

thanks man. yeah, a buddy and i did it ourselves. the only thing i had done by someone was have the strut assembly put together. i didnt want to mess around with compressors or anything. i would recommend an AAL instead of shackles though. my leafs are completely flat so i cant carry and load in the back. with very little experience it went together pretty well though.

 

Nice mods man, time for them new shoes in the future! How do you like that glasspack? got any clips of it?

 

Not bad. Not bad at all. Looks good.

 

Looks good...

 

NICE!

 

How do you like the glass pack?

Its decent, ill give it that. My friend talked me into buying it somehow, and i like it because i spent $38 dollars total. Thats with the clamps, hangars, the tip, and the exhaust itself. It went up super easy. I personally think it sounds alright, but i drive between NH and CT pretty often and it is kinda loud. if someone is with me i have to yell a bit, and the music has to be cranked to really hear it. But i have it so it comes out right before the rear wheel so that contributes to it being louder in the cab. i do actually have a video of it. Its not the best, i don't have a video camera, so my friend just used his phone but its not bad at all for a phone camera. he has a droid or something like that...

Sounds great, nice build dude!

 

looks great man put some oversized BFG's on those stock rims will look great!!

 

Thanks everyone! anyone have any recommendations for wheels? Only thing i want specifically is something i can still rely on in the snow and some that is still relatively aggressive looking. I was thinking bfg a/ts but im not sure about them. they are pretty expensive.

 

They are a little pricie if you go with a 15x8 inch wheel you could still put 33 x 12.50's on and fill those wheel wells up a lot cheaper. I've had at least 5 sets on different yotas and have all dine great and wore well. Of you rotate them like you should they will last at least 60 thousand miles on them. Check tirerack.com usually have them on sale from time to time.
