The day i brought her home

I needed another tool box as i have alot of sh*t! I knew i needed one that can clear my fender wells, i preferred a black diamond plate and low profile but they are nearly $500 new. Found one on Craiglist next morning for $130.

Towers tank Trap - Picked up some nice PIAAs off Craigslist for $65(Pair), wasn't sure where to mount them so i bolted them into custom L brackets underneath.(Currently in the back seat)


Drilled two holes into the rear bumper for my tractor lights.

Went shooting in the hills I let her shoot my Winchester


Saw a video on youtube with the blinker mod - decided to COPY! 6k

I've had the thought of ordering some kind of Visual guage for my truck - UltraGuage seemed like a popular pick so i ordered one.

I planned on lifting it soon so i thought why not buy some new wheels! (I hated the chrome, probably why they are still for sale!)


I missed my old exhaust - so i went to Advanced Muffler (Adam), i explained what i want and he made it happen for a very reasonable price.

Went to the beach houses for the 4th - kept it in low and was kreeping away from the water No Salt Thank you!






Next I bought this 2002 Tacoma in early 2021 from Boise, with the plan to SAS over 1 tons on 40s. Truck was a pre runner, and turned out to be more of a lemon than I expected. Sold it a couple months later.

 

Looks good! Both of those trucks look sweet, 1st gen FTW!

 

Thanks man! I miss my old truck every now and then, it was relentless with those 31's 1st gen FTW!!

 

subd! wanna see the progression

 

As soon as my agency gets me my overdue check i can place ORDER on lift components (Stiff Deciding on rear options tho).

 

Rear Lights + 3rd brake light! Performs nearly the same at night...Decided to keep my reverse light clear as i think it looks great + i wana keep that as bright as possible!

 

Heck yeah, man! Looks great! Can't wait for you to lift 'er up!

 

Thanks Idaho! still pickin out my 3" lift until it's paid off. I may have been talked into a 3" allpro packs for the rear.

 

Lookin good man!
I guess you decided to stray away from building a set of packs?

 

what size are those chrome rims

 

Yeah some guy talked me into buying an ALLPRO 3" pack (DAMN HIM), and my dads taco broke a leaf last year so he could use mine. Im gonna let him have all 4 shocks and both leaf packs = ??$$$ idk what it's all worth. Maybe $100

The chrome wheels are like 17x8

 

Damn clean 02 man!

 

Thanks Grey - it better be, i wash it weekly!
