    Hello all,

    I have a 2014 Tacoma DBLC 4x4 sr5. I will be doing a slow build on my Truck! I have several objectives:
    Get me to fishing spots.
    Get me to hunting spots.
    Be able to keep it reliable. Hopefully 200,000 miles plus
    Still be able to fit in most parking garages 6'6 and up.
    Future camping trip with a small family of four.
    Be able to stand in the bed and go spot lighting for critters.
    Be able to keep the interior clean.
    Not lose any drivability (I do about 40,000 miles a year for work)

    So the first modifications so far have been the follow:
    Flashlight mounted on drivers side seat.
    Husky floor mats.
    Salex glove box organizer (this is a great product)
    Wet okole seat covers are in the mail.
    5100s all the way around. Front set at zero with eibach coils.
    Fj cruiser steel 17" take offs
    255/75/17 bfgoodrich km1s of a jeep rubicon. ( I call this a poor mans 255/85's) Craigslist is a great source for these tires coming off new jeeps. I paid $500.00 for 5 brand new tires. They fit great and don't really require any lift. I did have to take of the front mud flaps.
    Futur mods:
    Front bumper with winch and light bar.
    Rear bumper.
    Sliders.
    Soft topper.
    Rack over soft topper.
    A tent for the rack.
    Console vault.
    Bigger battery.
    Some sort of police spot light mounted like a cop car(anyone ever do this?)

    Thanks for looking folks!

    Oh yeah forgot! I sell equipment to hospitals. So my work day consist of driving from one hospital to another. That's why I didn't go crazy with the lift in order to fit in and out of parking garages.

    I'm referring to the movable spot light they have in the corner next to their mirrors. I would like to use it for spotlighting rabbits.

    A full semi tire came off the bed of a semi truck while I was in rush hour traffic. Couldn't do anything to avoid hitting it. Jacked up my drivers side bumper......glad it didn't do anything more drastic. It was bouncing down the freeway at 70mph..

    Shit man, hopefully everything gets replaced and handled! Pretty unfortunate.

    I was actually able to push the bumper out. Once I did that it cleaned up pretty nice. I will be getting a aftermarket bumper in the future anyways so its all good. I wasn't able to catch the driver of the semi because I pulled over to make sure my truck was still drivable. It was making some bad noise do to rubbing. It would have been nice to get some insurance money to put towards the new bumper....

    Front and Rear bumper are on!!! They are Shrockworks based out of Houston. They make a great bumper and I didn't have to pay shipping. I have installed rigid lights in the rear. A 20 inch light bar in the front. Also instead of fog lights I installed LED spot lights. The winch is an Engo E9000s. Looking forward to taking this out and doing some wheeling.truck 1.jpg truck 2.jpg truck 3.jpg truck 4.jpg truck 5.jpg
