DAY 1

Tints


Then I found TW and the rest is history

First I debadged and plastidipped some, freaked me out to do on the truck but it was all pretty easy and put on a new TRD sticker on (ultimate goal is for an all black + pyrite truck).



After months of lurking and help from SDHQ I brought the Dunkoma home with her new suspension, lift, shoes and steps.





Found some more dirt






Installed and painted the exhaust - first time, took about all Saturday, and parts of sunday..


^^wasn't finished yet^^


Found the one thing that was worth a pause in the modding.



Installed Sliders (thanks BRANDON!)



Tested them




Got into the holiday spirit



Weathertechs for xmas!





Made a few videos

- DUNK

 

Nice! Hope you had a good birthday!

 

Thanks man, would have been better if I made it up to Crown King but hopefully that'll happen this weekend. You should come along if your not busy!

 

Sub'd

 

Good seeing the truck used! Glad you are liking it!

 

hey bud - I'll go sub to yours too, big fan of what you've been doing

 

Thanks man! Can't wait to get back in there next chance I get. Not sure what for yet but I'm sure I'll figure something out

 

Hey Andrew

 

I had a great truck to look at for inspiration and I ran with it. If you have any questions feel free to ask

 

So I'm posing this question to anyone who wants to answer - the more opinions / food for thought the better. WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT?

I'm trying to think of more ideas for my future mod list. I figured I would post this first and then spend some time looking at all of your other build pages.

The armor and bumpers I'm pretty set on, but not sure about the rest. How about if you come across this post just let me know what your Favorite mod or purchase for your Taco has been.

 

Well since you already have my favorite mod lift rims tires I would say my second favorite it all my lights the retrofit and hid fogs and my light bar all of it combined.

 

Retrofit? I'm down for some HIDs eventually pretty easy to swap out right? I would do the fogs and light bar but I'm waiting for the bumper to go that route. What brand is your bar?

 

Retrofit is way easy to do. Just takes a good amount of time to do it right.

Don't just slap in HID's to the stock housing. It blinds people plus it is illegal here.

 

Mine is an okled I had HIDS in the stock housings and they were ridiculous they were all over the place and people flashed their lights at me all the time the retrofit isn't hard like Colby said just time consuming but totally worth it

 

I need to do the retrofit on my headlights too!!

 

All you need is an oven and some basic tools to pull it off.

 

I want to do FXR'S eventually

 

Did you end up needing a cab mount chop for your 285's?

 

I'm pretty sure he did not chop I did with mine though

 

Ya that's what I've heard - no thanks

I'm down - I think I remember you saying you'd help when I get the funds for it

We can make a date out of it

Jamie is correct I never did the chop although I should to eliminate some rubbing I have. Basically as the suspension settled in the rubbing got a little worse at full turn and full bump, then I removed my sway bar and it got a little better, then I did some harder flexing out on the dirt and realized it still rubs pretty hard; both front and rear at times. Day to day I don't hear/notice it buttt... eventually I foresee going ahead with the cab chop and getting some new glass or fender flares. Or I still have thoughts about doubling my lift and redoing everything
