The "Peer pressure is a MFKR" build

Hey all I am finally making a build thread after many people pestering me about it

Little did I know this truck would take me to great places and help me meet some great folks along the way!

I bought my current Taco at Toyota of Killeen back in 2013. I searched for months for a long bed Tacoma with 4x4 that's all that I really knew I wanted. I got burned by several places that would be selling the truck as I came in to look at it. Houston, San Antonio, Austin and almost ventured up north towards Dallas before I found "the one". Found a 2007 DCLB 4x4 SR5 in BSP in Killeen and I left work early that day because I knew that if I waited it would be gone in no time. They hadn't even cleaned this truck out yet when I got there and it had some issues that I was willing to deal with because my budget was around $20k.







This is my first actual pic of the truck the day I drove it home.


Current mileage: 217k and climbing!

First things I did to the truck were transfer some electronics over from my VW I traded in like Alpine head unit, Escort 9500I radar, and a Garmin GPS.


I quickly added new wheels and tires:


The wheels are Moto Metal 951's and I put Cooper ATP's on it first then switched to Nitto Terra Grappler AT's because I didn't like the ride of the ATP's.


My next mod was an ACCESS limited roll up tonneau cover and I enjoyed the heck out of this thing for years! I carry a lot of stuff in my bed usually and I really just wanted protection from the elements. It's a great option for the price!




She cleans up real nice Added some AVS window vent visors



I added some Carhart seat covers that are made by Covercraft, they are not too shabby and have protected my seats time and time again.



Next I cleaned up the headlights with a 3M kit because they tend to fade and yellow after time


Fixed my center console latch with the repair DIY here on TacomaWorld


Truck likes to roam with cows too...

 

Lift pics: Big thanks to @Texoma for all the help



Swapped the rear 5100s for some King 2.5 ext travel with Resi's. Thanks @MattCowsmasher for the enabling of buying more truck mods
