Janster's modifications
I don't necessarily call this a build - but I'm a proud tacoma owner so I have to share.
It's an evolution. I've spent 5 years with a 96 tacoma that I modded up mildly when I owned it. From that to a 92(totalled) & 94 Jeep Wranglers(still own). To a Dodge Ram(previously owned) Corvette (still own), and my current tacoma. This truck is a daily driver. It doesn't go wheelin (that's what the jeep is for). It'll haul my mulch and anything else I need. But for the most part, it's the first NEW tacoma and I wanna keep it prestine. Most of the modificaitons I do are for a reason (not for looks). 2007 TRD Sport, auto, access cab purchased March 2007. Oversized OEM oil filter and Mobile 1 engine oil. My Modifications: Ipod2car PXDP ipod integration (no pictures) C2C hood struts (no pictures) Husky floor mats http://www.lieblweb.com/cpg/albums/T...skyLinersB.jpg Leaf spring TSB - fully settled http://www.lieblweb.com/cpg/albums/T...TacomaRake.jpg Ruff Tuff Seat Covers (clothe) http://www.lieblweb.com/cpg/albums/T...l_IMG_7782.JPG Advantage Torza Top (tri-fold) http://www.lieblweb.com/cpg/albums/T...l_IMG_7778.JPG Pop-n-lock http://www.lieblweb.com/cpg/albums/T...l_IMG_7784.JPG Protecta Bed Mat http://www.lieblweb.com/cpg/albums/T...ectaBedMat.jpg Scangauge II http://www.lieblweb.com/cpg/albums/T...l_IMG_8441.JPG Homelink Auto Dimming mirror http://www.lieblweb.com/cpg/albums/T...l_IMG_8350.JPG Heated drivers seat WRITE-UP http://www.lieblweb.com/TechLinks/He...Heatedseat.htm Fumoto oil drain valve http://www.lieblweb.com/cpg/albums/T...DrainValve.jpg Garmin Nuvi 660 http://www.lieblweb.com/cpg/albums/T...l_IMG_8024.JPG Proclip GPS mounting system http://www.lieblweb.com/cpg/albums/T...l_IMG_8020.JPG AFE drop-in air filter (no picture) Aries black pushbar http://www.lieblweb.com/cpg/albums/T..._AriesbarB.jpg PIAA 540 fog lights http://www.lieblweb.com/cpg/albums/T...al_PIAA540.jpg Toyota fog light switch http://www.lieblweb.com/cpg/albums/T..._FogSwitch.jpg (I purchased the fog light switch here: http://www.rallylights.com/detail.aspx?ID=501) Hood Scoop graphics by SockMonkey http://www.lieblweb.com/cpg/albums/T...versticker.jpg http://www.lieblweb.com/cpg/albums/T...assSticker.jpg Flowmaster 50 series dual exhaust CAT BACK system Future plans? Nothing special in mind. I've been researching my ass off trying to get wheel-to-wheel running boards. That's it for now...unless of course...this forum gives me more ideas. No plans to lift....no plans for bigger tires.

 I've *been there done that* with my 96 tacoma. If I had chitloads of money floating around - I'd probably go-4-it. But the house deserves & needs the money more than my truck does (unfortunately). It's a driveway Queen - I'll admit it

Looking really nice Janster! I think it's smart to do the really needed mods before the just wanted mods, when the money frees up is when it's time to do those!

janster.....your tacoma looks really good, and the mods you have done are really nice. sometimes, subtlety is the way to go...........instead of going crazy with some things, it gives your truck a nice clean look.

That heated driver's seat mod looks like a real PITA. Did you really do all that, or did you just pin 'em to your seats under the seat covers?

Thanks Gang!
Sorry I've haven't been back here, this never popped up in my 'new posts' ..until today. Dark Knight, The light on the switch isn't bright at all. The switch was cheap ($14 total shipped) and it's actually a Toyota part. You can use that same switch for fogs or driving lights (or any lights for that matter). TacoCo - yeah, we did all that - with the tywraps & such. I did use duct tape on the foam instead of the lame tape they supplied with the kit. It was a royal pain in the ass when we (husband and I) were doing it - but when my ass is warm this winter, I'm sooooooooooooooooooo very THankful we did it!! tacomaman06 - believe me, I want more!! But I seriously hate working overtime ...

I MUST visit Chickies Creek someday!
Seriously, how do you like that Garmin? I was looking at the 205GPS. I have to do in the field visits and some of these folks live seriously off the beaten track. The 205 is the "lowest" model that offers voice prompts for turns (I think).
