S2man's Aesthetic Build

Welcome to my Aesthetic Build ​

The intent of this build is to create a clean yet sexy Pavement Puncher. Since my current hobbies outnumber the hours in the day, I am not aiming to pick up another, such as off-roading. That being said, this build will be focused on keeping my Tacoma looking slightly stockier than stock. Just enough to call it my own, without breaking the bank.

Current Mods:
ToyTec 3" Ultimate Lift Kit
Light Racing UCA's
Tinted Fronts-35, Windshield-55
AVEC Offroad 30" LED Bar
SCS Stealth 6 Wheels -17x8.5
BF Goodrich A/T - 285/70R17
Plastidipped Grill Emblem
Redline Tuning Hood Struts

Future Mods:
AVID Off Road Light Bar
Foglight Anytime Mod


To get things started,
I bought the 2013 TRD SPORT 4x2 4.0L V6 DCSB.


After finding TacomaWorld, and how awesome the Tacoma can look, It was time to buy a lift. I went with the 3" ToyTec Ultimate Lift Kit since it has great reviews and since I wanted to install it myself. I also made sure to purchase the recommended Light Racing Upper Control Arms.


Here are the before and after pictures to show how good she looks, even with stock wheels and tires.

I did some more couch surfing and found a sweet deal on this sick AVEC Offroad 30" Light Bar!


Jan 2015
After buying the Stealth custom wheels in october, I struggled to decide which tires to wrap them in. Finally, I went with the 285/70R17 BF Goodrich All-terrain's. I removed the front mud flap but left the rears on. Here is a pic right after I pulled it out of the bay at Discount Tire. I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. I've gotta give props to all of you guys for the inspiration and the help.




Please stay tuned as I continue to tune my Tacoma into a sexy grey beast.

 

Just dropped a rack on wheels and lights.
I'm super pumped to get these installed!!!!
Pics to come!

 

I finally installed the Stealth Custom Series Wheels - matte Gunmetal
with some 285-70R17 BF Goodrich All-terrain Tires.
Thanks SCSPerformance
I also installed my AVEC Offroad 30" Light Bar that I got from MIKEVEE

 

We have similar ideas.. good job so far.

 

you can't just post stuff without pictures man!

 

peep the initial post. haha. good point tho.

 

where did you purchase the AVEC light bar from? Also, how did you mount it?

Truck is lookin good.

 

Thanks!
I bought it here on TacomaWorld thru the user MIKEVEE HERE

I read through the thread and some of the guys showed me how to mount it directly to the aluminum crash bars with a simple self tapping screw.
I asked the same thing in Geekhouse23's build thread on page 8 & 9.
I removed the grill and left the front bumper on and reached down there to drill it in. then it was a simple run to get the wire over to the battery.

 

A build that goes a different route, awesome

 

I'm selling my stock wheels if anyone is interested...
