Rhino8541 From the beginning

I've been asked a bunch of times about the setup I have on my truck, so I decided to make a build up thread.

Vitals: Stock
2007 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport

Shortly after purchase
With Tonneau cover, I think it was my first "mod" :lol:

You can also see my LED blue light for the Fire Dept.




A little less stock
Fog Light Mod
Painted Engine Cover





20% Window Tint (Now it's at 3%)


Clear Headlight Mod with some cheap lights from advance auto while I waited for my chrome bulbs




Debadged, then Vinyl badges from sockmonkey, and grillcraft upper


Red interior LED's in shifter, and overhead light. (Poor picture, it shows up much better)

Home made Bumper plugs


Black lower bumper vinyl, and stock toyota skid plate





3" toytec lift: 884 Coils with top plate spacer
Rear AAL

Grillcraft Lower

As of Dec 08 with 1/4" wheel spacers (Wheelers) on front wheels (I ran these spacers after taking off the front washers on the lugnuts, to gain back some threads. I still had rubbing with this setup, but not as much as I did without spacers.)

Rear receiver shackle



Hi Lift Jack mounted in bed

sick build

 

That's a killer build man. Where did you get your Jack-all bracket for the side of you box? Exactly what I need.

 

Wow, you guys are quick! I can't remember the exact store I bought it from, but it is called the 4xRack.

It is very sturdy, haven't had any issues with it at all. The bolts also have holes so you can mount small locks in there to keep it secured.

 

as usual....saweet!

 

Thanks Greg, how ya been!?

 

Very, very nice! I like it a lot. That skid plate though needs to be black. Other than that, I love the transformation.

 

bad ass with the 6" lift. red tacos are growing on me big time

 

I've played around with this idea a bunch of times, but to me, when they are black, they disappear underneath with the rest of the black body, especially with my black lower bumper. If I could pick up another skid really cheaply, I might try it, but for now I like the contrast of the stock skid.

Thanks for the kind words though! It's definitely come a long way!

Hey man, I wad thinking about doing a similar lift to this in my truck. what is the story with rubbing/ spacers on this. Will I need to add wheel spacers to the front or do any cutting? I have an 05 sport with stock 17" rims. Thanks. NICE TRUCK!!! that thing is tough.

 

beautiful truck man, that thing is sweet! looks so sick!

 

It's been a while, I remember some rubbing on the stock UCA and a small spot on a piece of the frame. 1/4" spacers helped a little bit, but there was still some rubbing.

 

Love your truck man. Keep it up!

 

Thanks, I'm actually workin on something for it right now!

 

Nice rig dude i would love that 6" lift so much $$$

 

lol thanks man! I love it too. Took a long time of saving up. I would love to do so many other things too! My two most expensive wants right now are a supercharger and a sunroof. As the weather gets nicer, a sunroof sounds better and better!

 

one badass truck man how are you liking your tires.. ur trucks eye candy haha

 

Thanks, I really like these tires. First dedicated mud terrains I have had, and I really like them!

 

yeah i was thinking about those or km2s so many tires to choose from
