bigE's TRD Sport Build

Welcome to my build page or whatever the heck you want to call this. Anyways, I have a 14' TRD Sport MGM DCLB Tacoma that I use for now as my Weekend Warrior vehicle. But I am a semi-broke college student as well. Anyways, this is here to help me keep track of whats what and what's been done to my truck. I do have plans, long-term wise, to make this limo into a Mid-Travel truck. Here's a list of stuff done to it already and things to come as time goes on.

Was finally able to get my hands on BeeRads hood lighting AKA Anti-Dark. To all those considering or on the fence whether you should get it. JUST DOO IT!! But be patient.


My satoshi grill from ECG Fabrication.





Finally got to mounting my 265/70/17 duratracs that I bought a while back. It's just temporary till I actually kill my factory set.
Also, that's stock setting. No lift yet.


And finally, you gotta have the 12th man in the pic!!


Here's the light output from my 30" Lightbar I got a while back as well, that's with the light bar alone being on.




A little outing with my buddies near Levenworth


The day I got a deal on 7 Duratracs.


Newest piece of art...


Another jobsite that I was at where parking space was limited.


Was riding a fireroad trail near Crystal mountain. The view was amazing from where I was.









Here's how they look up close and personal


I especially love the new fitment, since they now sit flush with my fenders. Now I don't need spacers




At one of the many jobsites


Forgot to mention that I dipped my emblems.




Crappy picture, but here's my LED reverse lights.

Looking to get those rims for my 2010, what size tire are you running? Was thinking I would get 275/70R/17 BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A KO Tire...... Thinking they would look descent with my 3" lift.

 

Looking good , nice wheel choice , subbed

 

http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/member.php?u=89677 <---- he has the same wheels as me and is running the same size tires and I believe a 3" lift as well. And I'm running the same wheels that came on my sport truck, the 265/60/17. I'm trying to use them up as much as I can before I'll get the duratracs

Thanks

 

Hey, thanks for the reply it's appreciated.

 

Where do you plan on mounting those round LEDs that you got?

 

I was thinking behind the grill, but then I'd have to change my grill for that. I already have a 30'' led bar that I've earlier planned on putting in behind the lower valence grill. Right now I'm kinda torn between the two. Wish I can mount them all.

 

Do it!!!! How do you like the build quality? Do you have may more pics of them? I'm thinking about getting in on the next group buy that's why I ask.

 

Wow such a late reply!! I never got the notification. The build quality is very good. It has a cast iron back side to it I believe, so it is a little hefty in weight. Its completely sealed with no additional drippy sealant or caulk anywhere. Very big LED's on it. I haven't officially lit them up yet due to lack of time and a busy schedule but sometime soon I will. I don't have pics of them I'm sorry. But I helped my bro-in-law set them on his armada and they are just absolutely gorgeous. I promise that you will not regret buying them. Maybe only for the fact that they are a little bit hefty in weight and they are quite large. So far i have no Ragrets lol. Hope this helps.

 

Sub'd. Nice truck OP! Looking to get those same TRD wheels on mine. Good to know how they look on an MGM with the blacked out tails.

 

Thanks. All the pictures don't do it justice. It'll look much better once an aggressive tread like, the duratracs I have waiting, will go on it.

 

I did the lower valence and I think it looks dope because if you have a true 32inch after the mounting brackets are on then it sits flush and can be drilled and installed in less than an hour and its for the most part can't be stolen

 

Yea, I love the lower valence look as well. And I believe mine is a 32" because it's a 31.5 without the brackets so it's ~ 32" with the brackets.

 

Hows that urd exhaust

 

In my opinion. I believe it to be the best sounding exhaust. I've heard the trd one, and personally I didn't really like it. Wasn't deep enough. The URD actually has a magnaflow exhaust body on it with 3" piping. It doesn't drone too much. It has a nice rumble when idling and in 5th gear 1600RPM.

 

bump

 

WTF?

 

Hey Big E - quick question on the wheels. I have read mixed comments on whether the TRD PRO 4Runner wheels (PTR56-89210-F2) will fit the hub bore of a 2nd gen with or without grinding? I want to ask for your opinion and experience before I purchase. My local dealership has them slightly on sale right now.

Thanks!
