TRD Pro Clone- in Quicksand

And a finished garage, yeah this is the my life sucks thread

 

@JWaldz

 

The RR is a 383 big block.

 

I always knew these kind if people existed but you never see them show it on a forum, and definitely not a Toyota one. Most of us are in debt to our eyeballs with our builds haha... All I can say is, please partake in the TWSS this year so I have a chance of getting you as my secret santa

Well done on life. You're doing it right my friend!

 

Here is a shot after the suspension work.
I originally tried to run spidertrax spacers but they caused rubbing even after the CMC.
Removed the spacers and all is good. alignment is perfect.

 

Don't forget that clear lens swap too!

 

I performed the same retrofit (RX350 projectors, STI-R clear lens, etc.) and although it was a PITA to do myself, the results were well worth the PG-13 words coming out of my mouth at the time.

@Citadel Your truck looks amazing. I love the approach you're taking with it.

 

We just had OptiCoat Pro applied to the Taco last weekend. Makes a big difference in the shine of the truck and adds a layer of protection. Won't have to wax it for a long long time

 

Fuuu literally got a chub.

 

So much win in this thread. My enthusiasm for everything automotive is directly related to my dad's 70 challenger plum crazy 383 4speed. Amazing collection

 

Those headlights made me contact one of your referred retrofit companies and do a google search to contact one local to me, well about an hour anyways!

 

DO IT!
Head and tail lights need some major love on these 3rd gens.

 

Do people retrofit tail lights, or do they just swap those?

 

Check the LIGHTING section

 

oh you!! I see you did great work..

 

Next up....
We will retrofit a stock 2017 power sliding glass assembly into our 2016 TRD Pro Clone using all factory 2017 Tacoma parts (glass, cable assembly, motor, mount, dash switch, etc...).
If successful I will include the details on the process.
BTW- parts are ~ $1,000 for those that would rather do the BenWa mod.

 

You selling your wheel spacers?

 

Nope I gave them away already

 

Great Thread @Citadel the truck looks very good, and the other cars look very tastefully done as well. My truck is very similar to yours and I love how the BHLM looks, might be convinced to do it to mine!

 

very very nice build and collection.

dont see this type of collection or build very often. nicely done
