My "Beast Ass" Build

My build started the first day that i bought my truck. If I remember correctly, it was the black housing tail lights that i picked up first. I figured that I wanted to go with the "Stormtrooper" look. After about a few months, i found this website then started getting into the DIY's and MOD's that people have been doing on their Tacoma's and put my own twist on them. I wanted to make my own build thread so i can update it with MOD's that I have been doing. These 2 pictures are from the first few day of having my truck.

 

The 4th day that i had it, i had to take it in the mud. Didn't think about not having 4X4, I just wanted to get dirty. Unfortunately, I got stuck and it was at 11:00 at night. I had my girlfriend with me and my 2 friends, we were all muddy except for my girlfriend who was the driver while we were getting a nice coat of mud pushing it out. This was the aftermath...

 

you pul up next to a mud hole and grab handfuls and smear it in spots? lol. jk. looks good man.

 

Lol in the mud pics it looks like you just took some mud and threw them on your truck in a few places. Not saying you didnt go wheeling just saying thats what it looks like. good looking truck

 

Hey fucker you beat me to it!

 

Getting a sound system should be on everyone list of things that they would like to do with their trucks. I am a huge fan of bass so i could not live without subwoofers. I got 3 Rockford Fosgate P1 10" subs behind the bench seat powered by a JL Audio amplifier. Also installed a Kenwood double din deck. Looks clean.

 

hahaha. it’s that 2nd gen speed i have. those 1st gens are too slow.

 

I like the mean look that came with the purchase of the T-Rex eyelids and wouldn't change it for anything. These things are bad ass! Purchased a set of black housing head lights as well. Also got a grenade shifter knob which later i painted black to go with my "Stormtrooper" theme. Will update pictures soon...

 

haha. I didn't have tires so as soon as I hit it, I was stuck. lol not much tire mud throwing going on.

 

haha yeah. and depending on what you will be doing. nitto terra maybe a good tire. i have them in 265/75r16 on my 4x4 and for fire/ logging and even mud i have never really needed 4x4. just a little more throttle. i can keep up with my buddy that has fj with BFG all terrains with both in just 2wd. so i know both those tires can take some mud and rocks/trails.

edit: get a good tire and you will be able too do a hole lot more.

 

Nice good lookin truck

 

those eyelids are sick! do they just use double sided tape or what?

 

Nice. I now have nitto trail grapplers. Haven't got stuck since lol

 

Double sided tape. And they turn heads

 

Thanks

 

oh nice. yep i have not either. i did with the damn rugged fails in the snow on my drive way. they have like 30+k on them at the time. and my drive way is pretty steep. (more than a 7% grade, prob close to 9 maybe 10% grade) tires packed full of snow and would not clean them selfs.

 

My friends got me this Westin light bar for my b-day last year and I had to put it on. Probrably going to upgrade to the Avid Offroad light bar soon. Got some cheap-o halogen 55w off road lights from autozone to fill in the light tabs (which were a POS). I have already upgraded. Also her is a picture of the idea that I came up with for the switch board...

 

missed a picture...

 

When me and my friends always went riding, at least 1 bike would fall over or almost fall over on the way out. We came up with the idea of making a wheel chock for the front wheels that would space 2 bikes out evenly and also keep them straight up and down. We then made the "RBK". It works awesome and is easily removed.

 

The new 2012-2013 have the front bumper, under the lower grill, blacked out. I liked the way that it looked so i did it. Very nervous while doing it, make sure u tape and tarp good.
