pdxpuddle - Let's see where this takes us...

Greetings everyone, so the reason I titled this thread the way I did is because upon finally purchasing a 1st gen Tacoma (which I always loved) I find myself buying more and spending more. I bought it about a month ago and will post some pictures below of the changes I have made to it so far.

As it is now:






This is a few days after I purchased it, I installed the Westin bull bar and the tool box (I didn't take pictures when I bought it).



I installed HID's and did a headlight restoration, they turned out very nice. I also installed yellow fog lamps onto the the bull bar and took the mud flaps off.



Next comes a 3" lift...I did it the cheapest way for now (spacers/blocks) but will be purchasing Bilsteins in the future. I used the top of the license plate as a constant to measure

Before:



After:





I bought Procomp 7069's 16x8 with 265/75/16 Goodyear Duratracs. I have to say I love this setup and it lifted my truck more. I alsogot a stubby black antenna.






Here are some pictures I snapped today...

 

good looking truck , welcome to the site

 

looks good!

 

Here are a few more pics from this weekend, went down to the coast for my 2nd anniversary.

 

I put a 20 and 40 inch light bar on the truck yesterday evening, used the Relentless Fab low profile mounts which are great. I put the basket on the canopy a few weeks ago, my next step is spraying Raptor liner on the canopy and under the truck. I also have two pairs of led lights two will go under the rear bumper and two on the basket facing the sides of the truck.

 

Damn , your truck is really looking sharp .

 

Nice truck! Did you mount the basket directly to the truck topper?

 

Yes sir, I directly mounted it to the topper. Next weekend I'm going to spray the topper with Raptor Liner. I'm going to mount 3 led flood lights to it it also for side and rear view.

 

Good looking truck! I dig the classic steelies!

 

The wheels are alloy Procomp.

 

My bad... They cool though!

 

Nice truck, were the LED bars from Relentless or just the mount for the windshield? I think that may be one of my next purchases.... Just not sure which bar to get. BTW, really want to check out your HID's retros when you get them.... I wanna see how much better they are then my drop in's.

 

Lookin good man!!! Sub'd!! And mike check my build out...might help you get a better idea of what the light bar will look like! I used relentless mounts
