Got my dream Taco! [Future build thread]

I told myself that I would never get rid of my SR5 unless I found a 4 door, Manual, TRD OR for less than $30k with less than 50k miles.
I found this truck on Craigslist for a deal that I couldn’t pass up, so I sold my SR5 as fast as I could, I’m glad I did! This is my 4th Tacoma, and it’s here to stay for a while.

With OVTune, the auto was actually nice to drive but I still missed driving stick anyway.
I also realized that I’m too much of a goon to not have a locking diff, and I found myself getting stuck quite a bit in my SR5.
The SR5 also left me money to mod, but this truck took it all
It’s alright... I’ll just build it slowly instead of getting everything I want within 2 months- it’s more rewarding anyway (or so I tell myself).
Luckily mat let me transfer my OVTune license to this truck, so it won’t be on that goofy stock tune

I already caved and bought a couple things lol.
The next things to go in are the accumulator delete kit and some OSRAM H11 halogen bulbs- nothing crazy yet!

Down the road, I’m thinking of getting 255/85’s and lifting the truck 1”. I loved my SCS wheels with 285’s but i don’t feel like chopping up this truck just yet haha.

 

Congratulations mate!

 

Congrats on the new truck!

 

Congratulations ! !

 

I see you picked the best color this time. Congrats

 

Congratulations!

 

Nice truck, and nice ex truck.

 

Get ready...

 

Congrats, nice truck!

 

Welcome to the three pedal club

Time to turn this into a build thread

 

Congrats and glad to see your back to the clutch side!

 

I think I shall, but it’s sure gonna be slow haha

 

First post of the build thread
I painted the brace face, couldn’t stand all that chrome

 

MT FTMFW!!

 

Congrats! Have fun.

 

Looks good, but I'll bet there are a few things you want to do to it.

Super Dooper White rules!!!!!

 

3” lift and 285/75/17’s eventually... just not sure what wheels I’ll get haha. Probably another softopper too. But that’ll be a while down the road!
Gonna run stock wheels with 255/85s for now so I don’t have to mess with anything

 

Damn that looks good.

 

WTG AND GL ...

 

As I'm new to Tacoma world (coming from the Subaru camp) what is the "accumulator delete kit" and the benefits of having it?

My TRDOR DC us not only my new vehicle, but also my first truck, so I'm still learning everything.

I went from the Legacy GT that I tracked on the weekends to my Tacoma, so I've yet to really dig into it yet.

The transition from AWD to 4WD alone has been a world shift LOL...
