Eduskator's '14 SR5 build thread

Hi there. Thought I'd start a build thread.

My 14 Tacoma SR5 didn't stay stock very long My main idea is : blacked out.

Brand new out the dealership


Here's what I bought so far and will be installing this weekend :

- Duratrac 32''
- HeavyMetal Lift 3'' front, 1.5'' rear
- 1.5'' spacers to clear this up
- Plastidip matte black wheel kit





August 31
After lift/spacer install with stock tires: (did it myself, took almost 5 hours...)
Measured clearance from bottom of the wheel to fender, it's now leveled. I have 1 inches more in the back, which is perfect.
Front, before install: 35''
Rear, before install: 37.5''
Front, after install: 38''
Rear, after install: 39''




Mud flaps removed as well. It looks so much better!
I will also be dipping wheels, all emblems + the chrome grill and rear bumper.

Sept 1
After 32'' Duratrac install



Sept 3
Plastdipped my wheels today and my tailgate emblems. Sprayed 5 layers and it looks really good! This stuff is amazing.






Sept 5
Plastidipped my rear bumber + added a douchebag license plate holder (ahah)

Sept 7
Plastidipped the front grill + toyota emblem. Looks great!




On my shopping list:
-6k HIDs (35w)
-Yellow fog lights + 3k HIDs (35w)
-Tonno Cover
-Black Nerf Bars

Will post pictures everytime I'll do something

Cheers!

 

Got my tires yesterday..

I don't know what side would look better? With the white letter wall or black wall?

Hmm!

 

So I'd think.. blackwall.

 

Yeah, I found pictures and black wall is nicer

 

It's coming!!!! Getting everything installed this weekend.

Haven't received my plastidip cans though, but it will surely look awesome!

 

Pictures updated. Lift now installed. Tires will be installed today.

Looks like my wheels have positive camber right now because of the 3'' lift in the front, but an alignment should correct this.

 

It says your main goal is blacked out,so black out!

 

Haha yes of course! The plastidip cans are on their way... Can't go faster than the shipping carrier

32s are now installed! Can't wait to paint everything.

 

Started the plastidip project yesterday and this stuff is great!

As it sits right now
