Quest for a build with minimal to no irreversible alterations.

Now we are getting somewhere. The goal of this search for others is to find alternatives to make a build complete.

 

Well done fucker, well done.

 

Drilling a snorkel hole in a buddy's paper-plated 200 series was the highlight of my modding career.

 

I like the look and function of a snorkel. I didn’t understand the benefits of driving in dust with one until recently.

 

Except the new TRD design. Things hideous.

 

Haven’t seen that one. I’ll check it out.

 

OP, I'm 100% in agreement with your philosophy on modifications. I haven't been quite by the book with my own truck, but I will be with the next one.

This is the cleanest 3rd gen Tacoma build I've ever seen: https://www.expeditionportal.com/fo...nd-tacoma-builds-on-to-new-adventures.189112/ Unfortunately that guy has sold his truck and moved on to other toys.

 

17” rays that are coming out this summer... hopefully.... I’m thinking about trying to pirate a set come March.

 

Definitely not my style. Looks like an arm curled with a sock on the hand. Looks good to someone.

 

Well that depends on entirely what is considered complete. 90% of modifications are bolt on and dont require significant changes to the truck but the other 10% (snorkels, bumpers, CMC, etc) do.

 

I’d like to think they opted for function over form...

 

Thread title should be more like "I'm a little sissy with big opinions and here's 3+ pages of proof, and my idea of a build is I must be able to buy it and pay someone to bolt it on"

 

If I saw that monstrosity in person, I'd have to bleach my eyes out, and there wouldn't be much function in a blind man owning a vehicle.

 

$725 bucks and you cant even fit a pre-cleaner on it.

 

SHOTS FIRED!!

 

Well, @ResidentCarbon , have the lambs cab mounts stopped rubbing?

...

Brave @ResidentCarbon . You will let me know when those lambs cab mounts stop rubbing, won't you?

 

I do my own work. From welding tig, mig, fuck stick, rebuilding an engine, wiring, fabrication, I do it all. I’ve done good shit and made a fuck ton of mistakes along the way. After all the years of doing this time of work on my car and others, I’ve learned what is preferable to me. I’ve done alterations that were irreversible and wanted to change it later to something else, but couldn’t. If you did all your own work as well to that extent, you’d get why I want my own build to be as such. I appreciate your input nonetheless.

 

I like where your head is at.

 

If you didn't cut, weld, drill or otherwise irreversibly modify, you didn't build shit. Just saying.
