The Transition:
So why did I buy another truck? Well a while back I changed my coolant on my silver one and I did not fill it to its true potential. I filled the radiator till it over flowed waited 15 min added more and then I called it good. So doing mostly no more than 35 min drives a day the truck had no problems. Well one day I went on a road trip to Flagstaff, AZ which is about a two hour drive up hill. The truck was getting warm but never over heated due to the cool climate. On the way back though, as I came to a stop on the freeway and I look down and the needle is pinned and I am in the middle of traffic and have no option but to sit there. Blown head. So few months later I convince my dad to give me the title and instead of a private sale I took it to Carmax and they gave me a fair trade in offer. With the offer in my hand I had 7 days to buy a new truck and swap parts. Bought my second Tacoma an hour later private sale. Truck is very well maintained and it was weird looking at two trucks in my drive way. Swapped the front ends the first day, rear end the second day, and lights and accessories the third day. Holy shit was I exhausted and I felt like a ran a triathlon because my body hurt so bad. I work out almost every single day and I haven't been this sore before. Overall I felt bad that Carmax didn't see my blown head but they inspected the truck for an hour and a half and didn't see anything.

(Parked the truck at my grandmas, since my parents did not want both at our house. I dont blame them)


(Plastidip was first lol. Now Ive swapped trucks and my silver one is at my grandmas)


(Front lift is on and off the old truck, I was riding dirty for a day)








(Rear ends being swapped)


(Now the lights, sub, intake, and headunit)


(Back to somewhat stock for my old one :/)




(Trade in day was a bitter sweet moment)


What stayed on the silver truck was the throttle body spacer, aero turbine exhaust, 285's, Revtek spacer, and block in the rear. The spacer lift came off the red one!

Az

 

Thanks!

The four door is nice! Its halrious for the first week I had to keep reminding myself I had actual rear doors. I kept reaching behind my seat as if I were to open up my access cab!

 

nice new truck man.

 

Thanks Josh!

Pick up a few things this weeked:
- Air On Board OEM looking switches
- Daystar bumpstops
- 305/70/17 Terra Grappler G2's

 

Both trucks looked great. I'm loving the double cab. Sometimes I wish I had one. What do you have the radflo's set to. I have a similar set up with maxtrac's and all pro's so I'm trying to get an idea of how it would look with 3 more inches up front.

 

They are set to about an inch more of lift!
