My 2015 SE Louisiana Taco build

11-25-2015 Purchased a 2015 TRD offroad Taco. All stock. status: Newb

Concentrating on on strategy for lift / rims / tires.



Added a yeti cooler to the back of taco... keeps beer cold and helps in decision making process.

 

Great first mod! Good strategy.

 

So after doing some research and talking with a few members here.. I've decided to go with a 3 inch lift and 17 inch black rims.

I ordered a TRD badge kit and I'm now trying to figure out placement. Pretty sure I want to get rid of the tailgate toyota emblem and just have tacoma left side and V6 & Trd on the right side. Was a little disappointed with the kit because I ordered the black trd emblems which are hard to see in my grill. Just ordered a chrome one for the front. I'll post pics later this week.

 

they will definitely look nice..! I am looking into doing the same to my taco... I am getting icon 3" lift....

 

Added a tool box today... Mofo is orange but did some research and it seems like alot of traditional truck tool boxes are able to be broken into fairly easily. So I went with this guy.

I also picked up a gallon of some black truck bed paint. Will post more pics after I paint / bolt it down.

 

My truck's twin! Can't wait to see where this build goes.

 

I roughed up the exterior paint on my tool box and began painting it with roll on bedliner. I'm wanting it to be really thick so I got a gallon and plan on adding about 3 coats.

 

Purchased some 3 way JBL 6x9s & an Alpine amplifier to boost my sound system a little bit.

 

Sound system came in... going to start installation tomorrow.

Also ordered some new bedside decals from cboy808 & the interior exterior LED kit from medlinaround.

I've decided to go with 18 inch FN BFD wheels. Will order next week.

 

Ordered my FN 18 inch gun metal grey BFDs today. They are on backorder, should arrive beginning of next month.

 

Just ordered new weather tech floor liners. Pretty stoked about this because I work on construction sites. Went with the grey ones.

 

Just ordered my 3 inch OME lift kit.
OME/3-leaf kit:
OME 887X coils
OME 90021 struts
OME trim packer
OME nitrocharger sport rear shocks
HS 3-leaf aal w/ u-bolt
OME cb drop bracket
Strut/coil assembly
LR UCA's

 

Show pics of build,when done.... Great job dude

 

BFD rims were on back order and are supposed to ship out on 2/29/16. The UCAs for my lift kit are also backed up and should ship next Friday 2-26-16. I know I want to go with 285/65/r18 but unsure of which tire I want to go with... leaning toward toyo M/Ts Should have pics of lift rims and tires by beginning of March.

Installed my weather tech floor liners today I'll have pics tomorrow.

Installed my new JBL 6x9s and waiting for an opening at a local audio shop to install new alpine amp & tint my windows.

Finally received my new chrome TRD badge for the grill and I'll have pics tomorrow.

removed the chrome toyota badge on the tailgate and just left the chrome Tacoma badge.

Still waiting on new LEDs for interior / exterior.

 

Update... finally finished painting my tool box with 3 coats of bedliner..

 

Replaced matt black TRD grill emblem with chrome TRD emblem. Removed toyota badge on tailgate.

 

Installed my new weather tech floorliners..

 

OME 3 inch suspension lift arrived today..

 

Purchased some 285/65/18 nitto trail grapplers today... so fricken stoked... getting so close.

 

Go ahead and debadge and get rid of those mud flaps.
