YellowDog01's Double Cab Build

Hey everyone. I have had some request to make a build thread. Isn't much so far but I hope to get there one day soon.

Updated 11/23/2010



Here was the first week with my 2001 Tacoma. It's a Silver Double Cab V6 Prerunner. Looked around for about a year for the right one. Almost pulled the trigger on a 2002 Extended Cab Red Tacoma, but now I'm happy I got 4 doors.


Took off the Running boards. Drove it like that for a couple of months.

Got Weathertech All Weather Mats.


For Christmas, I got a UWS Low Profile Toolbox!


SockMonkey Decals. Thanks Greg!


Got Bilstein 5100s on all 4 corners. The fronts are set at 2.5". I don't have an AAL in the back.


Tires and Wheels installed! Tires are 285/70/17 Cooper STTs. The Wheels are 17" FJ Cruisers. I got a great deal on Craigslist. Exactly what I was looking for.

Also Installed Spidertrax 1.25" Wheel spacers.




How she sits today:




Other little things:
Garmin GPS
Bedlinered Skid Plates
Bebaged

Future Mods:
Camper Shell

Thanks for looking!

 

looks great man. do you have any problems with your wheel spacers i was thinkin about gettin some

 

No problems. I had to get the Hubcentric ones though. I was debating on getting them put on all 4 wheels, but I liked just the 2. Thanks!

 

are they on the front?

 

Yep. To clear the UCAs.

 

how does the 2.5 lift with the bilsteins ride? is it level? just wondering im in need of a suspension upgrade and the 5100s are my first choice

 

Great looking truck garret I always love looking at it!

 

The ride is a little stiffer than stock, but I like it. It feels better. The rear shocks are MUCH softer though. Definetely a great lift for the money. I don't really off road, just tow boats so I didn't need a coilover(Icons, etc). But I didn't want the spacer lift. A lot happier I did this. Replaced my almost 10 year old shocks while lifting!

 

Thanks man I really appreciate it! Yours is looking good too! I need to get some different pictures, I'm sure everyone is getting sick of looking at these.

 

I've got my other 2 Spidertrax for sale.

 

With Black 2nd Generation Badges?
Or without?

 

With!

 

Thinking about it...Had to redo them a couple of times and it's not perfect but I like them.

 

I think it looks awesome man

 

Thanks!

 

they look cool! i was thinkin it would be in the same area as the 2nd gen badges are but i like it up there!

 

Just bought some Grille Material from a member here. The stuff looks good and is a lot cheaper than a Grillecraft.

Satoshi? With FJ Toyota emblem, 2 Hella's, or both?
Will post pictures when I get the material in.

 

I'd be interested to see a Satoshi on a first gen

 

I'm nervous about cutting up my old grille!

 

I had a body shop cut out my old one and put in my billet grille for 30 bucks haha
