Tacos in St. Louis area

I went the economy route when I first bought my truck. It was lifted, 285s,tented windows and a few other things on a major budget. I still had the temp tags on it when all of that was done. In my defense, have you ever seen a dclb with 245s? It looks terrible. Now I'm going back and doing it the way I want. Ill have SR8 wheels in a week or two and my 35s will be delivered Friday. My sliders won't get here till February ish.

 

Who are you getting the sliders from? I'm hitting up 4xinnovations for mine. Maybe I should do it now before mid janurary that I planned? I want them ready to go for the lone star jamboree.

My problem is I now have a bunch of the cheaper goodies, but still need to add it all on, haha. I haven't had a day off without other crap to do for 2 months now. But next week I'll start dipping, and I have some kenwood speakers to put in, and figuring out if i can get the wiring type stuff figured out on my own for the lights I have. Doubt I can do it without help, but Ima try all by my lonesome first .
Then I'll probably be annoying @G.T. to have another mod day, haha.

What 35's did you go with?

 

I would definitely put on the sliders before the jamboree. You would kick yourself if you got some damage that could have been prevented. I will play around right now but won't do anything serious till I get the sliders on and a full set of skids.This is what I have on order. It's definitely not cheap cheapest route but I really like the way they look. The 35s are Toyo Open Country at2. That is what I have now and love them. It's just a pic off the net, not my setup. I have around 90k on them and still have many more to go. I drive a lot and don't want to replace tires every year. When I find a good tire combo, I definitely stick with it.

 

That's the plan with the sliders. I'll have enough to upgrade my front skid, but the rest will have to wait until later in the year. I'll just hit up the bunny trails there with my own most likely.

They look good. I won't upgrade until I need to. Just ever looking for ideas of the best tire to go with that won't kill my mpg when I do. Haven't heard anything bad about the toyos yet.

 

New Tacoma owner in the STL area. Just saying hi. Picked up my truck on the 19th and am loving it so far.

Cheers.

 

Welcome to TW! Good to have another 3rd gen in STL. We're slowly catching up to the 2nd gen members here

 

Welcome! Put up some pics whenever you get a chance. Any plans yet or are you going to keep it stock?

 

Thanks all. Here are the pics.

Not sure whats next. I had a lot of the stuff I wanted completed before I picked it up. wheels, grille, seats, rack, cover, etc...

 

How would everyone feel about a mod day on either the 7th of Jan or the 14th?

 

14th

 

Good looking truck! There is a couple of people out this way. I hardly see any lifted tacomas. Still trying to get Gerrick to lift his.

 

Thanks. Not sure if I will get it lifted. Short family over here with a 5 year old. Possibly looking to get remote start added next

 

Go for kbvodoo. They have a kit for $129. Uses the key fob.

 

It's coming, don't you worry. Gonna pick up the stainless brake lines here in the next week. And then hopefully have the Total Chaos UCAs and OME spring leafs by April. After that is tires. I just have to measure my clearance in the garage to make sure whatever I do I'll still fit.

KB Voodoo is selling a remote start system right now for $130. I bought a kit and putting it on this weekend hopefully.

 

That's a nice rig man. With all the accessories you added, why didn't you just buy a Pro?

 

I can open the shop up on the weekend of the 21st-22nd for a mod day but I'll be busy for the first half of the month.

 

Works for me! I should have my BAMF grill by then. I also finally got the parts needed for the hood strut system. I also should have my brake lines by then I'll need help putting on

 

I saw that one. Any recommendations in the area that can install it for me? I'm somewhat mechanically/electronically deficient, so not sure its something I want to tackle.

 

do any of you guys go to mizzou?

 

I should have. I think with everything I added I still paid less and I got to get it in black.
