The McJosh mini- beast

I've been checking out people's build threads and barely realized I didn't have one.

Well My truck is a 2005 small, base model, 5-lug tacoma. Currently sits with 72k miles. My first mod was the limo tint and smoked all the lights. I then picked up a scooped hood and color matched grille that both needed repair. And it looked like this:




(satoshi was done while it got repaired)

Next I got 30" BFG's with pro comp wheels:



Later on I found out about fatbob's and ditched the readylift idea. I also put 33" pro comp tires with new kmc enduro wheels. And 2 hellas behind the grille.:



I didn't like the chrome rear bumper so Avid Off Road made me a new tube rear bumper:



Avid O.R. Sliders came next:



I ran into a bush and got tired of the scratches on my front bumper cover and got a front tube bumper from Avid as well:



Throughout all that stuff, I put
-an afe CAI
-a flowmaster muffler chopped to dump over the axle
-3 stereos and 3 sets of subs with different enclosures.
-changed my bench for 2 bucket seats
-did the DIY armrest mod
-Installed a cobra 75 with 3' firestik
-Bought all weather Tacoma mats
-Installed 2 extra fogs in the bumper
-Put 3 rear lights altogether
-traded my scooped hood for a regular hood
-bought black bezel head lamps
-stuck some TRD decals on the bedsides from tunafish

and this one...

 

whoa.....beast dude.

 

Geez your truck has changed A LOT Josh! Mines pretty much the same since we last talked but damn you've done some major work on yours!

 

great lookin truck josh!

 

what procomp wheels did you have?

 

Looks good!

 

Thank you sir.

Yeah the mods never really stop.ha

Thanks man!

They were 8179's but required a darn spacer and my lug nut would only catch a few threads so I ditched the whole wheel and got my kmc enduro's.

 

wow that thing is awesome! went from pretty ricey to BEAST! lol

 

Well thanks scott. Yours isn't too bad.

the wheels and tires did everything.

 

yeah, im loving that rear bumper! single cabs are awesome

 

Avid Off Road, heard about 'em? lol

 

now i have if you dont mind, how much did that rear bumper run you?

 

Thats a damn nice looking 5 lug...what is your exact tire size? do you rub? i have 33s (285/75) on my prerunner w/ 3" lift and still rub....

and those bumpers are sex

 

About $350. I'm local so there's no shipping..

my previous tire size was 33x12.5x15 they were pro comp x terrains. No rubbing after the little black box was removed and I also didn't have the fender well. The tires I'm running now are 32x11.5x15 (they're better suited for my needs)

Since your tire is 285 I'm assuming on a 16" wheel, that could make a height issue. My wheel's offset was also a role player in that.

 

Specs on rims? Im asking...for a friend......

 

Well I actually don't know. Discount tire did all the hard work.

 

lol dont worry adam i already have my specs figured out thanks to keith.

but your build is awesome josh. thanks for the ideas man Ill have my rims and tires on my truck on monday. Then im debating weather or not to buy that front bumper.....
