NOTE: Updates at the bottom of the pictures.

Just recently picked up a 2011 Tacoma Access Cab TRD Pkg. Been doing mod's since my first tool set as a kid. I'm really into the jeep world also but I needed a truck so here I am!

Just to start I'll list off the way I bought it.

TRD Pkg
- Single TRD cat-back Exhaust,
- TRD 16" Beadlock Rims in "Copper",
- TRD Cold-Air Intake
- 3" Leveling Kit

Also came with Bull Bar (That's coming off eventually), Rear box Step, Rearview Camera, Tonnau Cover (Soft, TriFold), Tacoma 10" Sub/Amp, etc.

Future Plans:

- Bed Lighting.
- Lift 3" - 6".
- Straight Pipe my duals instead of off to the sides.
- Backrack with lighting.
- Fog light anytime mod.

Progress:

UPDATE; August 23rd 2012
> 10k HID Hi/Low Healights and Fog Lights!
> CB Radio (Fully functional!)
> MBRP Dual Exhaust (Installed! Needs fine tuning, its vibrating on my leaf mounts.)
> aFe Throttle Body Spacer installed. I realize its a fancy whistle, but it was free and I'm arrogant.
> Gloss Black Halo Projector Headlights and "Smoked" Fog Lights (Were installed, hated them so I went stock with the HID's)
> 2" Wheel Spacers (Caused rubbing, had to take them off until a larger lift is installed)

UPDATE; Mar 16th 2012
The pictures I've been promising of the recent "mod's".

> Took the tonnau cover off for the spring - fall period. Needed a spot for all my crap so I installed this shiny tool box.

> I then mountain my CB radio antenna on the side of the box. I haven't completed this yet but I'll keep you all posted.

> My new MBRP dual exhaust which I'm completely satisfied with. Although I got the double cab version sent to me so I had to do some trimming off the flange.

> I also tacked on my 2" hubcentric wheel spacers but it is causing some rub on my front mud flaps. So, they may come off yet atleast in the front. Too bad, cause it looks awesome! Still have to install my projector headlights and smoked fog lights. From what i've read I may end up selling them and going HID retrofit. We will see! Oh, and my awesome +100HP whistle maker throttle body spacer, I'm an asshole.
