jakes09taco Access Cab build

2009 Tacoma SR5 Access Cab​

I bought the truck back in early December of 2012.
Truck is a 2009 Tacoma access cab with the sr5 package. It is a standard with the underpowered 2.7 i4 that i love so much. I bought the truck from the local toyota dealer with 50k on it and there certified preowned crap. ​

I just sold the warranty back to them for not honoring the warranty because of my lift. Had a lower alignment cam freeze and they claimed that the lift was the cause. The lift had been on for a whole three days. Oh well $1400 knocked off the loan.​

My 01 Duramax i traded in on the tacoma. I lifted it and put 35x20's on it as well as chipped and 5" straight pipe.

​

my 1st gen i had,
​

my 06 wrx before that.

Nice truck. The rims look really good with that color.

 

Color-match that grill and you've got an awesome looking Tacoma!

 

Any info on the LED reverse lights? The reverse lights on my '05 suck in the rain when its dark and I really need to do something about it.

Nice looking truck. Good choice on exhaust!

 

Awesome truck!!

 

DAMN! truck looks nice man! I love those rims on that color!

Hows the 4 banger handling the tires and lift? Big loss in power, mpg's?

Thanks!

 

Nice truck

 

Thanks

The 2011 trd sport color matched grille will be here friday. Ill snap some picks and put them up.

Thanks i really like it, waiting to get the header on and see what that does to the sound.

Thanks

It does ok with the tires, as for the mpg idk havent really kept track. I'll just put it this way ill be putting a set of 4.56 in it soon as possible. It would be ok if i lived in the flat lands but i have some decent mountains to climb around my area.

 

Thanks

 

The header showed up this evening as well as the grille so i was pretty excitied to get them both on. I got started on it right away. I was actually pretty suprised at how easy the header was to put on. It pulls a little better on the hills and it also gave it a deeper less raspy exhaust note. Im pretty happy with it.

The grille before and after.




Doug Thorley header, by far one of the easiest headers i've put on. lol




Sorry for the blurry pic.

 

I love your truck! Mine looks a lot like, but its an 06. Did you have to raise it any to get those wheels and tires on it? Remeber that imitation is the highest form of respect!

 

Thanks, Its just has a 3" lift.

 

Makes me want to get a red 2nd gen in the future. One of the only red Tacoma's I've seen that I like!

 

Thanks, if I had it to do all over again I would have kept my 1st gen though. I liked it more. Lol

 

Cool truck.

 

Nice truck! Got any pics of how you did your sub box? I don't have a truck yet but I'm prob gonna end up with an AC instead of DC and am lookin for new way to do a sub instead of just a rear "center console" style

 

So jealous! I want to turn my rims black like yours, just not to sure how.

 

Thanks

Its just a ported box that i have sitting in the rear seat behind the drivers seat. It fits snug when i slide my seat back. Im pretty happy with it, not like anyone rides back there anyways. lol

Might check into plasti dip for the rims.

 

Nice truck! That WRX was sexy!!!

 

I was thinking that but I want something more professionally done.
