Jake's Tacoma Build...so far

thanks guys! im pretty pumped on it!

 

Just finished putting in new Antenna mount

 

wow. been a long time!!! had to step away from here for a while. my wallet was hurting. sure enough, i come back on, and within 1 week im spending money! FINALLY found a sport good at a salvage yard yesterday!! just had to get the insert part from the dealer and i get to pick it up tuesday! so stoked. I'll need to post updated pics when i get it installed.

 

picked this bad boy up at a salvage yard! SCORE!

cleaned it up really nice, clay bared, and waxed.


had to get this from dealer


Finished product! super stoked on it. im thinking i may want to paint the insert black though... thoughts?

 

Get an awesome hood decal instead... If you do the insert black I would want to see the BHLM done and maybe the grill sash pained black. But it does need a little something-something if you know what I mean.

 

Ya for sure man. I don't know how I feel about the decals. But I did get it painted black yesterday and will be putting it on today. I reaallly do want to d the BHLM ASAP. I have always wanted to, just haven't had the cahonies to rip my head lights apart. And what is the grill sash?

 

I agree... tearing out the head lights has me nervous too. I'm not too skilled of an artist and the job defiantly calls for some artistry. Also, keeping the whole surrounding dry and sealing it properly... scary. The grill sash sometimes called the grill shroud is the piece of plastic that surrounds the front grill.

 

got the scoop painted! loving it. and next...BHLM for suure.

 

also finished this little project that i'd been working on..

 

I do like the hood scoop insert black and with the BHLM it'll look killer. If you get the grill sash painted too... it'll look awesomer!

YES! there needs to be more wood in new vehicles.

 

Pick up some lights for a great deal already with BHLM, just had to seal them up! hope they sealed well!

 

Nice rig.

 

Thanks man!

 

Damn those lights look good.. Haha
Shoot me a text today and ill swoop the gauge from you whem in off

 

Looks sick!

 

Got a TRD skid painted flat black. Added the TRD decal today.

 

Keep it going

 

had some fun in desert

 

This truck has really come a long way. Great adds with the skewp, BHLM, and skid. Looks good.

 

Thanks brotha! I'm also pretty pumped on the 285's that I just put on. Not a super drastic change, but I can tell and am stoked.
