Long time lurker, first time member

I figured why not join? But a little about me.

I currently drive a 2002 Tacoma SR5 TRD 4x4 Xtra Cab I bought stock back in May of this year. I began modifying it a month ago starting with the exhaust because my stock muffler developed a crack horizontally about halfway down it. I bought this Tacoma with the intentions of doing heavy modifications to it but after I scratched that itch with the muffler, I haven't been able to stop. All in all, I'm not done with my Tacoma yet and say I'm probably 33% there. I've got a list of modifications in my profile.

I had a 2004 model identical to my current Tacoma (stock wise) except it was non-TRD and 5-speed about 2 years ago.

I had a 95' Cherokee 4.0L 2-door 5-speed 4x4 with a 4" lift and 33's (I bought stock) in my HS years but sold shortly after graduation.

Here's a pic I took today and I've got a few more (interior and exterior) if you'd like to see.

 

Welcome RonBurgandy

 

welcome man good looking truck

 

I'd like to see! Welcome to the site

Where you from?

 

Welcome to the fold! Good lookin truck!

 

Nice lookin rig! Welcome aboard!

 

Welcome to TW

 

Thanks for the big welcome. I'm in SC and have been here some 15+ years

Heres an interior shot of my floor board I had Line X'd. Set me back $800 if anybody is wondering and only took my truck out of commission for two days at my local shop



This is my ARB front bumper. The 3" body lift I had installed did come with relocate brackets for the bumper but they are meant for the OEM bumper, not a 200 and change pound bumper (plus the winch and being able to pull 8,000lbs.). When I have my winch installed, hopefully not in the far distant financial future, I will have custom relocate brackets mounted to make it flush and also come forward about 1/2" to make the winch more accessible. I need the lower trim piece below my passenger headlight as well as it didn't come with it when I bought it.



I also order rock rails today and should hopefully have them installed by next weekend

 

Here's an interesting shot. Mid installation of the body lift with the Bilstein suspension lift added and the body lift applied only to the cab.

 

Nice truck man! welcome!
