TacoTwo

Hello folks. Back in 2006 I bought a slightly used 2008 Tacoma Prerunner Base DCLB. I owned it for about a year, was a member over on TN, did a bunch of mods and had a good time with it. I sold it because it wasn't 4wd and it kept getting hit (doors, debris, little old ladies, etc). I've missed TacoOne ever since.

About two months ago I realized I was in a good position to buy another one, so my search began. I wanted the exact same truck, except 4wd and a short bed. Found a used '09 in Columbus, Ohio with only 12k on the clock. Since I regularly travel to Columbus for work, I kept my eye on it and waited for my next work trip. When the time came a couple weeks later, I called the dealer and worked what I thought was a very sweet deal. I bought TacoTwo sight unseen, and upon arrival realized I lucked out. She was a beaut'.


I drove from Columbus to Oklahoma City the day before Thanksgiving (battling a sinus infection might I add). I couldn't wait to start modding my second one, and so it began. I've done the following in the past couple weeks:

• 4Runner 17x7 wheels, powdercoated satin black w/265/70/17 Nitto Terra Grapplers
• debadged and depinstriped
• 2011 color matched grill (honeycomb style)
• front Bilstein 5100's set at .85"
• added OEM cruise control
• added OEM intermittent wipers
• tint
• clear headlight mod w/LED bulbs
• Certifit Fog Lamps (OEM fit) - waiting on the relay and switch to come in

Planned:

• remote start
• DVD/NAV/App stereo of some sort (if anyone has suggestions, that woudl be greatly appreciated. Oh...I'm Android)

That wraps it up for now. I've utilized a lot of good info from these threads and will continue to do so. Big thanks to all those that post, especially with DIY's and how-to's.

Yeah basically the black headlight mod without any paint work, then removed lenses. Used LED bulbs for flashers and markers for a nice clean look.
