tervanun's Build - "Shirley"

*I am renaming the truck, "Shirley" the redhead

Soooo I just ordered a couple things today so I though I'd start my build thread since I have nothing else to do.

So I kind of cheated and bought my Taco already lifted from dealer...
repo apparently.

2006 DC Taco 4x4 SR5





got her with about 8k miles
almost brand new!

So it came with the following:

Pro Comp 6" lift
Pro Comp 18x9 Series 7089 Cast-Blast wheels
Toyo A/T 275/70/18 tires


I then proceeded to add:

-Weathertech Liners (front and back)





-Stubbs Welding HDSKO rock sliders







-Diff Breather mod








Went down to 17's and slapped on some 35" BFG KM2's

6/11
Got a front bumper from Brute Force Fab. Effin sweet if I do say so myself

Installed the XRC8 I had sitting waiting for a home

And finally hooked up both [stock] fog lights....



New lights from Automat Central:


-Prinsu CabRack + Sirius 40" curved light bar


-Next up: Plasti Dip?
Clear coat on roof is starting to go

 

damn, you're not f****** around! snorkle and bumper are on my wishlist

 

^^^i was gonna say that but thought i'd let it slide for a few days since he hasn't been on here long

still a great truck though!

 

Hahaha naw I want this thing to go everywhere
I finally sold my old 90 PU that was stolen, so I used that money for the new mods

Sorry bro! consider it a temporary name

 

OMFG

Ok I'm gonna go with the "Little Beast"

 

she looks good, i can still kick myself for passing on her...

 

Good decision. Nice truck btw.

 

Good lookin truck. IMO you need bigger tires.

 

I feel you on that one. I wish I could go smaller wheels but doesn't procomp
say you can't go smaller than 18's? and why?

What size tires would you recommend?

 

i think i seen on here that if you go smaller then 18's you will rub,but if im wrong ill trade you my 17's...lol

 

hahaha I'll have to do some reading...

but in the meantime.... I rolled the truck on Monday
I'm starting to think the 6" was a little too much......
tell you what though, that thing held up really well.
it was sitting upside down for 1.5 hours and none of the
windows/windshield broke or anything. just body damage
(hood roof and fenders). hanging there by my seatbelt,
I rolled down the window, unbuckled and crawled out (lol)
picturing myself do it makes me laugh.
Not a scratch on me.
We'll see how long it takes to fix her :/

 

oh my god!....it's amazing what these trucks can take, i'm glad it kept you safe.
was it just too fast on a turn?

not that i like seeing injured tacos...but i'd be very interested to see any pictures if you got some. to have a 6 inch lift roll over and not even break a window is pretty impressive...that's a long way to fall.

 

Wow. Sorry to hear about your truck but the important thing is that you are ok.

 

dam... that sucks,

 

Alrighty I figure you're not the only one who wants to see these...





Here you can see the burm that stopped me but also sorta rolled me/ saved my doors and side panels...



There's where I was driving from.

See super long turn, wasn't going that fast IMO...
But if you look carefully, you'll see the small bumps in the road that
I believe induced the "hydroplaning"

 

is your truck totalled or are you gonna get it fixed?

 

Fuck that is held up super well, I trust these trucks even more now. Now would be a good time to swap that driveline

 

so what are your plans now?

 

Holy crap! Glad you are okay.
