    Ok these are before and after shots of when I brought the Tacoma home and today.

    So far I have:
    -New Vent visors on the doors
    -Bug shield on the hood
    -New mud guards on the front
    -Tonneau cover on bed
    -Plasti-Dipped the chrome emblems black

    Future Plans:
    -New Wheels
    -Power Remote Locks
    -Fog Lights
    -In-Dash GPS

    I was really amazed at the difference the black plasti-dip on the emblems made. They look great! Chrome on Silver doesn't really stand out as much as Black on silver! :)

    pretty much done i guess for the most part.

    not gonna do anything crazy as it's my daily driver and i hope it lasts 20 years or more.

    we'll see what happens. :D

    so far i have OME 883 lifting springs on the front and 5100 bilstein shocks on all 4 corners. the struts are on the 0" setting up front. this makes the rear end maybe 1 1/2" of rake higher than the font.

    stock it was about 3" difference so it raised the front 1 1/2".

    i have ivan stewart trd 16x8 wheels. got them on ebay for $750 from a toyota dealer brand new.

    right now i have bridgestone dueler a/t revos and they have about 45k miles on them so soon i'll be getting new tires. thinking of cooper discoverer at3's size 265/75/16.

    i cut the mud flaps down in half about a week ago. that's about it so far.
