    This was my first brand new truck and I am in love with her.
    2008 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab with Sports Package and Limited Slip Differential comes in handy when going snowboarding :) Bed extender, tube steps, wheel locks, spare tire lock, and road kit from dealer.

    December 24th 2007 I drove her home for the first time.

    [​IMG]

    I began working on the interior first with an all new sound system.

    [​IMG]

    Scocshe Dash kit with pioneer 790BT bluetooth and ipod hooked up.

    Wet Okole Seat Covers!!!

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]




    Had her a year and finally got my lift installed :) It is a Readylift 3" front spacer with differential drop and 1inch rear blocks. I did this myself with some help from my step dad. Never really worked on a vehicle before but it was a lot of fun and a pain in the ass at the same time. Lots of troubleshooting to deal with but I am glad I did it myself.

    BEFORE:

    AFTER:

    [​IMG]


    New GrillCraft grille and Black Headlights (a bitch to install)

    BEFORE:

    AFTER:

    How sweet it is!!!!

    Newest edition the Devil Horns

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    And the ultimate upgrade 285/70R17 Nitto Tera Grapplers and Liquid Metal Gatlin Wheels in Matte Black.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Few more random pics

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    After riding around on the spacer lift I realized that it was not for me and upgraded to Icon Coilovers and TC UCA's also put Billy 5100 in the rear

    [​IMG]

    Added Flowmaster dual Exhaust 50 series! Sounds good and can already tell and increase in HP when I hit the gas!

    [​IMG]

    Bought a 20ton bottle jack from Kragen for $30 and it will go over 17inches. Stock jack would not work with 3 inch lift.

    Got tired of the black wheels but loved the style of wheel so I went with it in chrome:

    Before:

    [​IMG]

    After:
    [​IMG]




    Next up will be my new sockmonkey Decals that i have been lagging to put on:

    [​IMG]

    Debadging the tailgate soon.



    Thats all for now. Hope you enjoyed my build.
