Ironman_Jon's Build.

Well its about time that I start my somewhat build thread.....

Well my truck started as most do a 2009 Toyota Tacoma Prerunner Sport that was bought for my wife. After a year she grew out of the truck and forfeited it to me and that's where the journey begins.

First mod on the table ditch the stock rims and tires.


I hit up a company called HellBentSteel and went with a 3in spacer lift


Got froggy one Saturday and started to hack up my grill and experiment with fiberglass for the first time. Outcome satoshi...wife then bought me some 7in Kragen HIDs. Also painted the lower valance.



Added HIDs to the headlights and fogs. Completed fog light mod.


Got bored of the PNP HIDs and picked up some Honda S2000 projectors.


Picked up a BajaBumpers front bumper

After rubbing issues Glassworks fenders were added


5 55w HIDs added on a custom rack made by Baja Racing Supply.




Bedsides came next


New bumper made to somewhat protect the fiberglass.



After a couple months everything came off to be painted.


Back from paint.


Quick picture


After hitting a donkey a couple months ago I finally got around to fixing the shroud that came off.


Readjusted head lights.


Long travel tear down



Camburg Lt on.


Don't mine the zip ties its temp til I get the resi mounts mounted.

 

Bumper goes in for powder coating tomorrow


Looking for a someone who knows anyone who does reflective decals.

 

Where did the light bar go?

 

It's being rewired right now. Should be back on next week.

 

Right on. That thing is badass.
Is that gettin paint too or is it already painted.. I couldn't tell.

 

It's painted already. Lol.

 

Hey John, I have the 4.10 Gears if you want to re-gear it. 120$

 

Still looking for someone who does reflective decals.

 

pretty sweet light rack!! def a let there be light moment

 

Looking for a URD y-pipe to complete the exhaust.

 

Looks good man! Where did you get the s2000 projectors at?

 

Got them from a friend that was throwing away the oem headlights he had laying around.....found out what they were really worth after a member here said $60 was extremely to low in the price.

 

Finally got a build thread! Have you gone wheeling in Yuma yet?

 

A little here and there off Fortuna and a little Picacho. Its when I get time off work and don't have shit planned but then again it's not very fun by yourself.

 

Don't go wheeling by yourself/one truck. I got stranded at picacho for a couple hours because my battery holder came loose and my battery cracked on some small whoops.

Do you still have that tacoma muffler by chance?

 

Yea I know lucky i didnt go very far out. My battery blew up on me a while back now i have to clean and sand and primer the mess it caused underneath it.

I sold it to a guy in El Paso and have to ship it out Monday.

 

Just an update here. T minus 3 month and counting before this bia is payed off and the long travel goes on. Decided on Solo Motorsports extreme kit. Debating on a 4 link or a Deaver set up....decisions decisions.

 

This is what happens when u do t change spark plugs. Dont be me!

 

Front end broken down for the Camburg Lt. Goes in next month for the DMZ SUA, bedcage, Camburg spindles, gussets, regear and bigger tires amongst a couple other things.

Still debating on swapping the rear end out for a little wider Ford 9". Thoughts?

 

Wow I like where this is goin
