From Stock to Murder

Right now my 2010 Tacoma Sport is all stock, I haven't done a single thing to it beside replace the tailgate that my father-in-law ran into a mailbox (crazy what a mailbox can do to a tailgate) as well as your typical preventive maintenance (oil, air filter, etc.). I have a long list of mods that I want to do but haven't even considered started due to military life.

So, I'm creating this thread for two things. 1.) being a place for me to list what I want done 2.) for you, the TW viewer to critique what I want done AS WELL AS what you as a Tacoma driver would do with a completely stock Tacoma if you had an unlimited amount of money.

Opinions are desperately needed.

Right on man. Lookin forward to this build.

 

Were you in the back of somebodys bed when you took this pic? lol

 

murder is good

 

New to the mechanical side of vehicles man. SAS? DD?..you think 32's will be alright with a 3" though? I just kind of guessed on it because my friend always siggested 33's (I used to want a 6").

 

I am truly curious as to what originated the phrase "murder" for a blacked out car.

 

SAS = solid axle swap (a front axle with a pig like super duty fords instead of independent front suspension like hummvies)
DD = daily driver

 

Thanks taco...

Wasn't using "murder" to reference the color of a vehicle.

 

Murder would be more like what his wallet is going to do to him when he starts the mods.

Hmm.. unlimited money? Jam a Tundra 5.7L with supercharger into your Taco.

 

Time has passed and I actually have progressed toward getting one of those mods done...I ordered a Grillcraft grille from Pungo Offroad in VA Beach...I'll wait on pictures until I get more...Also, this is a bump because more mods will come within the coming months.

And Mort, I'm Republican...I have money. So many people look down on robbing poor countries for oil.


I'll use SmittyT2k6 from TTORA as an example for bed rack and lift / wheels

 

velly nice!!!

 

That's not his truck FYI. That's another dudes.
