Agent475's Build

[Agent475]

Well, I guess that I've put this off long enough... I've had to put a hold on mods for a while, but I've been slowly working the small ones until I could get some expendable loot to do the bigger stuff again...

I started out with a stock 2006 Red Tacoma, TRD Sport 4x4...

One of the first things I added was the seat covers (pics coming)...



Then, I added the headlights:



































Then, the 3" Tuff Country Lift:











Most recently, I added the tailgate theft mod:




And the permanent oil filter drain plug:
Connected the Fuel line using a hose clamp:


Another view from side:


Ran the hose next to the fan, with two other hoses:


Zip tied them together:


Zip tie from under the truck (you will need to remove skid plate):






Run hose through the frame hole that is under the skid plate:




To finish, I ran the hose under that frame bracket and zip tied it along the way.


Nonetheless, all you need to do is zip tie the drain hose out of the way, reattach the skid plate, and trim the hose. And now, when I change the oil, I don't have to worry about attaching a hose to that oil filter drain plug or spilling oil in the engine....


Took off some badging (which you cannot really see here)... and I added a USMC badging on the side (pics to follow soon).

Then I added my personalized plates:







Next up is the breather diff. mod and finishing the tailgate debadging....

On the to do list:
-weathertech floor liners
-New in-dash navigation
-Black ATX Thug rims and new off-road tires
-Sliders
-Front and rear bumpers
-winch
-roof rack w/ square lights integrated into the roof rack for 360 degree lighting
-spare tire bed mount
-hi-jack lift mount

It all looks great. Where did you get your lights? I need to do the diff mod and change the fluid asap! I have about 60k on the truck and do a lot of towing and it hasn't ever been changed.

I still need to do the diff. fluid change myself... Got the lights from www.octanemotorsports.com and the lift from www.suspensionconnection.com

Thanks... it's a work in progress... The lift is ok for a budget lift. With 20/20 hindsight, I probably would have actually upgraded the suspension with coilovers and UCAs, but hell man, I don't off-road THAT much to really justify it. Most of my 93k miles is from commuting to work.
