03 Toyota Tacoma build

Ok i got this truck on april 20th it is a 2003 Toyota Tacoma TRD 4x4 v6. This was probably the happiest day of my life. As soon as i got her i found tacoma world and began to do some small mods. I am a college student so the mods are limited for now, but its great to be apart of this forum. Please leave me as much feedback as you want, enjoy my build.

Thanks and Godbless

Completely stock 2003 Toyota Tacoma

My first mod’s were seat covers and floor mats, just some cheap ones from Walmart. Then I bought a Mag light and mounted it in my cab, because you always need a flashlight.

Then I went to lowes and got a black low-rise toolbox.

And heres a side view

Next I added a K & N Cold Air Intake.

Then came my Bug Shield

Then I blacked out my taillights with some Nightshade.

Then I also added a flowmaster muffler with @ chrome tips.

Eventually I got my rims which are Moto Metal 951

I also painted my fender flares and the bottom half of my front bumper with some gloss black paint.

Then i got a Westin bull bar and some KC hilites

save your pics to the account

then use the "IMG code" option to copy the code

then paste the code into tacomaworld...

 

easy as 1,2,3... 4

 

Thanks alot man. sweet build by the way. And one more question how do you like the bilsteins?

 

sweet truck man and i like my bilsteins!

 

How much do they run you? not trying to be nosy just trying to find out some info about em
and thanks man yr trucks pretty sweet also

 

Sweet pickup man! I have Bilsteins love them can't go wrong with them much better than stock ride on and off the road .

 

Thanks man im looking to get some, i was just trying to find out some info on them first. but ive herd nothing but good things about them

 

Has anyone on here used the 3in toytec lift from wheelers? if so send me some pics please

 

Your truck looks good man. I bought an 03 Tacoma in May 11 was a great day for me as well being as I had to sell my 86 short bed chevy when I went off to college for a car. Its nice to have a truck again but anyways I'm in the process of a building my 03 too. So far repainted fenders/bumpers as well, 6 in Fabtech lift and tires/wheels. How do you like your exhaust and CAI? I've been looking around and your setup is what I'm considering going with, I'm worried about the sound of exhaust I just want a deep as possible sound, not loud. Thanks.

 

Looks sharp.

 

The exhaust sounds great i really like it alot, the CAI makes it sound so much better.

i got 88,000 miles

 

Finally, got my lift put on yesterday.

 

where did you get your moto metals?

 

Sick build man, I have an '00 prerunner that I was actually looking at the same rims (moto metal 951's). How much did all that cost you? I'm in the same position-- on a budget. But I want to black the lights, lift it and put those rims on, stick a nerf bar on and get a spray bed liner

 

got the moto metals from summitracing.com for a very reasonable price

 

Nice build. Where'd you get glove box trd decal?
