W8N4MUD's build

Got some new shoes for Mud. ATX Auxiliary Rims with a teflon coat to keep them nice all year round.

 

Looks great Al!

 

Thanks Matt. New shoes make all the difference. It look totally different. BTW, I did see (and hear) you in the University area when you were passing me as I was turning left. Haha. You were loud.

 

Waiting to get these new cross bars powder coated. Also, I just purchased a new INNO bike carrier. Now there's no need to take off the front tire. My Trek has a 15mm thru axle that requires the use of an adapter. Adapter no more! Can't wait to get this bad boy installed.

 

Definitely need to give socalduckslayer some props building me some cross bars. Absolutely love these beefy bars. You rock brother. Great job. Highly recommend.

BTW Tyler, I love your front bumper. My wife even approved. Hmmm.

 

Got these new side bed decals from Sock Monkey.
Installed today. A little higher than the stock sticker placement, but I like it.




Check out page 1 for the entire build. Thanks for checking it out.

 

Nice truck!....Great post of your build!

 

Thanks. As most guys would tell you, the mods really never end. They get more creative.

 

Cross bars made by Socalduckslayer...

Powder coated by Triad Powderworks

Installed this Inno bike carrier for my Trek Fuel EX8. Reason: Thru Axle

Added the Thule MOAB Basket

 

Nice ride man! Im liking that Avid light bar! I think I will have to save up my pennies and get one for my truck one of these days! You gave me some good ideas of what direction I'd like to go with my truck! Thanks for the pics! Keep it up!

 

Thanks Sir. I appreciate the compliment. Creeping to almost 148,000 miles now and I'm still trying to keep it looking good. Frankly I think it looks better than some newer Tacomas I see on the road but that's just a matter of opinion (until I see people starring at it - LOL).

 

Are PA systems legal down in san diego? Much less Cali. Where out in otay do u go on trails? Reply would be good

 

To my knowledge, PAs are still legal. I don't see why they wouldn't.

Trails in OTAY are simple and depending where you go, you could be out there for an hour to five hours. Otay Truck trail entrance off Otay Lakes road headed East where the camping site is at. That trail can drop you off near Campo or Otay Mesa once you pass the antennas at the very top of the mountain. Thats the fork in the road for which ever side you wish to head.

 

Purchased these from another member here who sells a whole supply of LED lights.
CSJumper2003 is your man. Hit him up. Here's his link to his thread on TW.

NEW L.E.D. lights.




Time for HIDs or Silver Stars again. The original headlights don't look good compared to the others. Totally temporary. Thank goodness for anytime fog light mod with DTRL.

 

Or time for some retros...

 

I was just looking at yours. I would love to do retros. Oh the possibilities, but I dare not go that route. I still enjoy hitting the trails. There was a guy who had retros out on the trails and I guess after a few too many bumps, the housing around the lense came off. I felt sorry for him and thought to myself that they weren't made for trucks that visit the trails and/or likes to go mudding. Nice to see/hear from you Adam.

 

Where did you buy your roof scoop and your headlights?

 

Roof scoop? Not sure what you mean. If its the roof rack, then that is also another Toyota Product. Ebay has some.
Headlights? I bought them off another member who decided to go aftermarket. They are OEM from Toyota. Most of the older ones are straight up chrome. Some of the newer Tacomas (especially the Sports) have smoked "Chrome" headlights.

 

Mileage update.

 

ALMOST TIME FOR A NEW ONE.....
