cshade's start over build

So after a long while of debating i had decided to sell my last tacoma, being a regular cab it was a little uncomfortable with two dogs and a girlfriend on long trips. So after shedding a tear and saying goodbye it was on to bigger and better things. Two weeks later i bought a 96 extended cab with 192,000. Lots to come with my build, already have a pile of parts

So far all that I've done so far is, removed factory decals, installed an alpine radio I had laying around, HID's from my last truck, ultragauge from my last truck, and built a rear storage/seat extender to give the dogs some more room.

Man I suck at this interwebs thing

Yeah it was really hard to let it go. But there were some things that I wanted to change and it was to late also so figured Id just start over

 

It's okay...we forgive you..haha

Also I think it's awesome how some how you still have a not so popular color

 

Yeah im pretty stoked that I ended up with a some what different color again

 

Parts are piling up

 

What is the hunk of metal in the middle of the pile for?

 

Rear diff cover

 

Awesome truck ! How did you get rid of the decals I have the same truck and like it without the SR5 retro stripes lol

 

First I used a heat gun and a plastic scraper and the decals them self came of pretty easy but there was alot of adhesive left it. It took me 2 hours to get one fender done using rubbing alcohol. So 3m makes this wheel thing you put in your drill thats made specifically for removing adhesive so I picked up one of those and it worked really well and fast.

 

These came today

 

Got everything done finally now on to more mods

 

Schweet

 

x cabs are best anyway.

looking forward to seeing what you do with this one. you have some work to do before moab!

 

yeah she we will be ready on a side note your on 35's right? did you tub or do you have any rubing issues?

 

After almost 3 weeks, locker is here

 

Sliders coming out good so far

 

Will this be a trail rig or a dd or both...
just thinking that a Detroit locker might
Increase wear on the road.

 

Mostly trail rig with some dd if I dont feel like driving my other car. I put 30k on my last taco with a detroit and never had a problem with wear or street manors. I actually hate driving my truck right now with an open diff.
