Speedway Blue 06 Prerunner built like I like it.

5.5 lift front 4 rear on 33s with an endless amount more work to do

@schecter517 I totally understand that. Flowmaster is nice but the drone can be annoying on long trips (2+ hours). I'm betting there are better options out there, but I've still be pretty happy with my decision.

Put a resonator in the exhaust before the muffler. It will get rid of some of the drone without buying a whole new system. The drone comes from the long straight pipe under the cab.

Picture update. Gave the truck a good wash yesterday. It was much needed.

Also added my Autobot hitch cover a few days ago. I love it!

Nothing new haha been busy with house stuff so haven’t had any extra money for truck parts. The grill was easy. Took me a couple of hours on a Saturday. Custom Car Grills has a video on how to do it on YouTube. Check it out. I love it, totally worth it in my opinion. I like it way better than the TRD pro grill that everyone has.

schecter517[OP] initial post: ↑

Hello Everyone,

Long time Tacoma fan here! Loved these trucks for as long as I can remember. Since the thought of driving came into my mind as a kid Toyota trucks were always my number one. My parents had them growing up so I have lots of great memories going on camping trips in them. So it made sense to me when it came time to purchase my first truck straight out of high school. This is my 4th Toyota truck and 3rd taco. First truck was a 1985 pick up 4 speed with the 22R. Best little truck ever! Drove it through out hs and for a little after. Once it came time to move on from that truck, my first taco was a 2003 SR5 Extra cab 4 banger 2WD. Loved it! That truck went with me everywhere! From California to Arizona and back. That little truck was a champ. Unfortunately, an accident ended her life and it was time for a newer truck. So I bought a 2007 DCSB SR5 2WD, which I had for 4 years and in that time it turned into a great looking truck and had lots of adventures in it. But the only issue that I had with it was that it was not 4x4. So after some hard thinking, weighing the pro's and con's on buying a newer truck, I decided to sell it and get a 4x4. I ended up buying a new to me 2014 DCSB TRD Sport 4x4 last October. Since then I have slowly but surely made her my own. I decided to go with 4x4 the second time around on account that I do like to do some wheeling and I do a lot of desert trips during the winter months. So the 4x4 has already come in handy quite a few times. My 07 was great but I got stuck a lot and was just over it. Glad I made the decision to switch. Most of the mods I have done aren't anything crazy, pretty much just getting the truck to look how I want it to. I do have more mods planned for the future, but I'm not sure if I want to go crazy on the "rock crawler" look. Still figuring out if I want to make this truck a full off road toy or not. I hope you all enjoy my build, as I will update this thread as time goes on so all of you can enjoy this build journey as it unfolds!

As for the mods:

Exterior:

Future plans:

Great looking truck, did you get any rubbing with the stock suspension 265/70/17 and the TRD pro rims? (+4 offset)?
Big thanks
