unholycumulus's Build
I figured since I’ve been here for a bit over a year, it’s time to start a build thread. I bought my Tacoma in 2007 with about 22,000 miles on it… here it is on day -1 (I test drove it, parked it there, snapped a picture, and made an offer the following day)
 From there it’s pretty much a blurr. I did know that I wanted to mod the truck, but in a way that made it more user friendly and comfortable to drive, and more fun if I decided to off road, which I ended up deciding to do! I’ll go out of order from here on out… I ended up getting a uhaul hitch and wiring harness, then some guy rear ended me about 7 months ago.. so Toyota put on a Toyota brand hitch on his dime… I was able to keep the Uhaul one and sold it to a member here on the forums:  Did the fog lamps on anytime mod:  Designed the “bed lights in the cubby hole” mod found on the free/cheap easy mod section:   Installed my compass/temperature gauge bought from sideways, here on the forums… and at the same time did the “map lights on with dome light” mod:   Removed my secondary air filter… as to which I have not noticed any difference one way or the other. Then installed the double din stereo:  Decided that one wasn’t good enough, sold it to a member here on the forums, and went with this guy:  Got the sockmonkey SR5 decal… I decided on California in the background because I grew up in Northern CA, now live in San Diego… and my truck is obviously a Prerunner.. so it’s “Off Road” and it’s not TRD, so SR5 it is…:  Door and seatbelt chimes were disabled.. no pics.. and then I painted my engine cover:  And got a set of those Redline Hood Struts.. (so so so awesome by the way) :  Put a set of tan Weathertechs in and did the “Cheap Piezo Buzzer” mod:  A mod some jackass decided to do for me… (who knew a screw driver coudn't open a door?!) I guess he liked my truck just as much as I do:  When I got my truck I didn’t have a spare tire, so I found a scraped up sport rim and bought it a used tire.. total of $50 later:  Then did a set of Bilsteen 5100’s in the front, set at 2.5 (thank you Roger and Steve!!) :  ...and realized that now since I’m pointing my headlamps up in the sky… got an AAL from ToyTec to put in. Turns out Roger had a set of leafs with the ToyTec AAL already in it! So we shoved that in place instead with a set of rear bilsteen 5100s:     and of course, couldn’t do it without help:   ---------------------------------------- SO that’s about it.. future mods in the making is a permanent cb mount, leather on the doors instead of the now gunky cloth, and my tires are shot, so a set of 265 75R 16 BFG TA KO's. I also will soon get a set of the FJ TRD rims in anthracite. ALSO want to do the BHLM but in gray.. so.. GHLM.. Satoshi with color matched grill.. All coming soon ----------------------------------------- Tacoma action shots: This pic was from about 2 days after I got my Tacoma:   Small camping trail in Anza Borrego mountains:  San Bernardino Wilderness backpacking trip:   Joshua Tree National Park car camping and offroading trip:    Cleghorn with a busted taillamp:    There is more, but I’m over typing and can’t find many more pictures. Of course more will be added… and thanks to all the members/friends who have helped make my Tacoma awesome. As she sits today:

thanks everyone! I know I'm not the most BUILT Tacoma out there.. but she's comfortable and good lookin'. I probably get a comment a day about how nice it is - which is pretty rad for a daily driver.

Joshua Tree is a blast! They have great trails there. Good start Jeff. Keep it up and organize those thoughts.
