REDTRD's Build

Well the Taco is now gone. It was a good 5 years with it but this past weekend found a deal on a Tundra that I couldn't pass up. Now moving over to brother forum of this one @ tundras.com (Pics of Tundra on last page)













Day 1 happy new Taco owner!



First official "mod"



Then came the plasti derp and also removed factory side steps




Started removing the as much "chrome bling" as I could added a satoshi grill from Jim (river rat 69) also added the laminx yellow covers to the foglights






Got lucky and found a guy on craigs that swapped me wheels for nothing just a straight up trade



Got in on a group buy for retrofit headlights and with some help from guys on here was able to get it done. By far my favorite thing I've done to any of my vehicles.








Installed a pioneer double din with sony backup camera very nice for helping hook up trailers.

 

Saved for future goodies!

 

Great start! Looking good. The grill emblem is especially nice.

 

x2 great looking truck!

 

Looks good buddy

 

Nice build, I can't wait until Pioneer releases their new nav's and I will be joining you in that department.

 

glad to see your build!

 

How did you make the grill ? How much did it cost ?

 

very nice work with the retros!

 

My wife must have got my Christmas list! Now to order a set of duratracs!

 

I wanna say I paid between 250-300 for the grill color matched and satoshi + shipped to me. PM river rat 69 (Jim) he does great work.

Thanks bud, the best mod I can say I've ever done to a vehicle

 

Looks awesome so far man!

 

Finally got my 5100's from christmas installed and got alignment done. She looks all level now. Loving the feel of the shocks.
Before shot

After shot

Front shocks

Rear shocks question are the boots supposed to mashed that much on the
rears?


Now to talk the wife into letting me get new tires, I'm really hating these 245 Dunlops the seem like they never ending tread lol

 

I don't think so... my skyjackers did that on my 4Runner.... so I ziptied the rubber boot to the shock body.... never had that problem again. Try finding a Ziptie that is the same color as the boot.... so it's not as noticeable.

 

I like your new stance but it will benefit from some new Dura's

 

Heck of an idea I'll give it a try thanks!

I'm right there with ya just gotta talk the wife into it lol

 

Just some randoms today, gave it a wash.

 

very nice and clean build

 

Thanks bud I was gonna remove the emblems today but I was fresh out of fishing line lol. I'm debating on waiting to get the scooped hood painted and getting my tires first. Decisions decisions
