Nugget's 98 Tacoma

Hey everyone. My name is Kemp and I'm pretty new the the Tacoma world. I recently acquired my Tacoma approx. 2 months ago or so. The truck was bone stock when purchased. Since I've owned it, I've done the following mods to it:

• Clear corner lights
• Aftermarket headlights
• Clear signal lights
• HID Headlights
• Front Bull Bar
• Smoked LED Rear taillights
• 01+ Center Console
• Levelling Kit
• Bushwacker Flares
• 17x9 -12 offset Level 8 MK6
• 265/70/17 Falken WildPeak A-T


Future plans:

• Mesh grill with FJ Cruiser Toyota emblem
• Undercoating
• Powder coating side steps black
• Window rain visors
• Command Start (for those cold Saskatchewan winters)

Let me know what you guys think. I'll be updating the progress as it comes along. Thanks!

niceee is the leveling kit installed??

 

Yup, finished everything up Saturday evening. I ended up having to replace the driver side shock as well as new front rotors and pads.

Still waiting on my bushwacker flares (going on a 3 week wait now. unreal). Next will be fabricating a new front and rear ARB style bumpers and some window visors.

Heres how she sits now.

 

Small update. Just got my flares in today at noon and will be putting them on this evening. I also purchased a set of 01 - 04 mirrors. Cant wait for those as the current mirrors are terrible.

 

Flares on. Was a pain in the ass to put on but they're on there.

 

Update.

Recently got a set of 01 Mirrors and they are 10x better then the previous ones. Since then I painted my front grill and chrome bumper caps matte black.

I also acquired a roll bar for $100 and is currently getting powder coated matte black. I'll keep posting with updates.



Bad pic but you get the idea.

 

roll bar back from powder coating and mounted.

 

Nice 98, Looks real good . Were the 01 mirrors much of a hassle to swap in?

Need some Light Force 170s on there, HIDs are pretty spendy.

No rubbing problema with those 17s?

Looking forward to the bumper build, I'm hoping to get a rear plate bumper with a swingout done this summer.

 

Been awhile since I've posted but here is how my truck is sitting as of today.



Since my last update, I've done the following:

- Painted side steps
- Painted rear bumper
- Custom Made front bumper
- Timing Belt
- Tensioner
- Water Pump
- Thermostat
- CV axles
- U joints
- New Rotors
- Air Filter
- Plugs and Wires

 

Nice Truck! More pictures of your bumper
