5995's 98 Build

I got a 1998 Tacoma a few months ago for my first vehicle. Thought i may aswell create a forum post on my build to keep track of my progress.

Got the truck with 220,000 miles a few months back. I dont have any pics of the truck when i first got it but i havnt done many mods to it.

This sight is awsome and really helps me use all that left over money with all the member's mods and ideas.

When I got the truck it was bone stock:


Now (8/27/12):

 

Also if anyone could tell me where those rims came from that would be awsome i cant figure out what they came off of or if they are aftermarket?

 

When I first got my truck i had to put a sound system into it. When i got the truck i found out the door speakers were replaced and a aftermarket deck was installed so all i had to do was get a amp and sub. So i went with the best company out there DC Audio and thankfully Rusty hooked me up with a DC 2k Amp and a DC XL 12" and i made a custom enclosure for behind my seat.

Completed Amp, Sub, and Box:

 

Looks good man. Im getting ready to build a new box for mine. Something ive never seen before to keep all my passenger seating! I think you need a satoshi grill...

 

yea the only reason i made the box where i did was simply because i dont know anyone that could fit in the back of my truck. And for the satoshi grill i am thinking of making one i still got to install a 3" lift then maybe do the grill.

 

COOL! I have a black '00 and I did my sound system, but yours will be much nicer. Check out my build and I'm staying tuned for yours!

 

thanks man i will check out your build aswell

 

Installed the Relentless Fabrication plate bumper. Lots and lots of welding and grinding

 

Went mudding before i put the bumper on the truck



Look who is stuck...

 

That bumper is going to look and work great on your truck. Looks like you could use a winch inside it too!

 

thanks and yea i just picked up a winch a couple hours ago for it lol

 

Got me a Warn VR8000 winch

 

Sweet! Are you going to mount the solenoid in the bumper or under the hood? The shop that did mine managed to fit it under my bumper with the connector socket mounted on the top of the bumper. I have some crappy pics on my build thread.

 

I wanted to mount it under the hood but I would have to re-wire the whole winch solenoid box. So I am going to mount it in the bumper hopefully there will be enough room

 

Yeah that's one of the same reasons we didn't mount mine under the hood. There was enough room in mine, there should be enough in yours as the bumpers are very similar.

 

Nice little truck

 

Yea hopefully it fits in there

 

Thanks
