Hondahaters 2005 double cab build

Hi all, first post here. I've had my 2005 Taco for about a year and six months. I'm always on here looking at what everyone else has done to their Tacos so I thought it was about time I contributed. -mods I've done; diff lock mod, dash mod, blue dash lights, sub/amp box behind seats, bed hooks, satoshi grill with 70's FJ badge, clear headlights, bull bar, firestone "rideright" airbags, hurst shifter. -future mods; RCD lift, wheels/tires, fj roof rack, sport hood, off road lights on bullbar and fj rack, pillar mounted spotlights, exhaust, I could go on forever... the possibilities are endless. Thanks to all who contribute to the site, give me ideas to feed on and fuel my Tacoma fever!

 

Thats a very nice looking truck you have there my friend

 

i agree very nice truck

 

Awesome truck. Thank you for your service to our country.

Nice username. haha. What makes you hate Hondas?

 

What's the thing bt the seat?

 

Are you talking about the gauge?

 

Yeah, is that for the airbags?

 

I think so. The tag next to it says riderite, the brand of his airbags.

 

awesome truck, I'm no honda hater though

 

looks good

 

Truck looks good. Awesome idea locating the airbag connection and gauge there.

 

Looks good!

 

Nice Truck, Great Name Hondahater, I don't like em either

 

Yes, hondahater. I'm hondahater on several forums and websites. I have a 57 beetle project, a kawasaki z1000 project and a 90 Lysholm VW corrado project (in the pic on the trailer (for sale)). the name came mostly from all the post "fast and the furious" imports (mostly hondas) that have been so poorly customized. honestly, I like hondas and their reputation for reliability (almost as good as a toyota!) Any vehicle can be unique and cool with some work, however, less is more sometimes. I can't stand all the wings, vinal graphics and 6 inch exhaust tips from pepboys.

Yes, the guage under the seat is for the air pressure, it didn't come with the kit. love the bags though. no matter how much crap I put in the back, I can just pump up the bags and level it out. rides nice too!

 

i think the painted interior looks good.
but im kinda confused...your truck looks like an sr5...has sport wheels..but base model dash trim? just wondering if i got that right.

only reason i ask is because of thr black hazard button(base). looks sweet blacked out inside

 

I totally agree on the Honda thing.

 

yeah, I did the dash black, the panel behind the climate control black, and the vent bezles silver to match the guages... I've always thought that bumpy silver pattern and darker silver they were originaly never matched anything in the truck. I painted the hazard switch too. I just taped it off very carefully.

 

damn
nice job man!

 

Looks good, man. I really like your painted dash. I need to do the same sometime.
