GaBassMan's Black N Blue Build

The Tacoma is no longer with me. Traded in for a full size GMC. I’ll hang around the halls of TW for awhile, as all GM forums are down right awful. Doesn’t seem to be any since of community. And in all honesty I love looking at modded out Tacoma’s. Usually a bit more tastefully done.
This is what I ended up with.


2 inch level

Undercover flex cover

Rigid ignite lights


Removed front valence



Black-N-Blue, Both because that's color scheme and that it is how it has left my wallet.



My platform is a 2005 SWB access cab trd off road prerunner. It was bought with 105,000 on the odometer.



Lets start with the truck porn!!!!



The first weekend I had the truck I went mud road riding. No pics though

The day I brought her home!!!!! My parents 2006 in the background





Stock!!! Maybe taken in the first couple of months



I thought I was cool and decided to flex the stock suspension with in the first couple of months.



Started my mods off slow with the almighty Plasti-Dip!



Next was probably new tires! 265/75r16 Kelly Safari tsr

On the way to get tire mounted



After install



At this point I have been bitten hard by the mod bug so bring on the researching for lifts. So i settled with 885x with bilstien 5100 all around and a 2 in AAL with LR UCA.

My dad and I did the install. Here is the finished product.



Plasti-diped my rear bumper



After crushing the step bars at the hurricane creek meet I decided it was imperative to purchase a set of sliders.

Crushed step bar



New 4xInnovations sliders and thanks to Iceman2448(Chris) for welding them on



Oh I forgot mybedside decals came somewhere after the lift. Adub4real bedside decals. Trd off road bass in reflective material!!

Daytime



Nightime with a flashlight



I wanted MOAR light so i found a heck of a deal on a light bar and 2 hella black magics.



After I bought my sliders but before getting them installed I decided I wanted a camper shell. I looked on Craigslist for maybe 3 days and found the one for me for one hell of a deal. Drove for 3.5 hours to get this bad boy.

Had to stop at steak n shake on the way home to get some grub

No thats not a cracked window.



Here recently I P-Dipped my wheels. Been meaning to do it just needed the push to do it thanks again Chris for the push.

This is how she sits today!!!!

Awesome man! You are ready to go camping properly now! no more make shift tarps!

 

It worked though. I'm ready to come back up. I want to camp on a spot we passed on hurricane

 

Mod list updated

 

Nice truck, cuz. The first few pictures on here I was present for a few of them. You're taking a nice route with the mods. Keep up the good work! Truck is looking sick!

 

Thanks bud!!! I had to show some pics of your truck since you helped with some of the direction I took with the mods. Lets get started on candy or cindy or whatever the hell you named your truck.

 

thats a clean AC you got there bub

 

Thanks a lot. I take that as looks good because clean as in dirt free, it's far from that. Lol

 

Nothing new recently. Hopefully installing some OldManDoug leaf springs this weekend.

Oh and going to pick this up this weekend aswell

 

Looking great! Subbed!

 

How hard was the 5100/885/UCA install? Ive got all those same parts on the way

 

I didn't feel it was too bad of an install. It helps to have an extra set of hands. IIRC it took us about 8 hours to do front and rear. Of course I did the UCA install about a month later.

 

Newest addition are Rockford fostgate prime speakers in all 4 doors. I'm kinda disappointed. They don't sound nearly as good as I was expecting.

I have more installs to go. Cbi ditch light mounts, Amazon special led pods, blue sea 12 port fuse block and a 50 amp breaker( used on an old boat we had eventually I'll probably go bigger)

 

Finished my fuse block panel. A little more wiring to do.

 

Updated op with more pictures and some things I've added

 

Looks good man! It appears we are on the same path with these AC's

 

I appreciate it. Do you have a build thread?
