    Edit: If anyone has a recommendation on painting the red TRD on the wheels blue let me know!

    “Fabbed” up some down and dirty light brackets from some scrap aluminum I had laying around. Had the lights originally mounted to my bed rack I sold a while ago, so they have been taunting me from the work bench ever since. Not the most functional I would imagine but oh well

    Just about an inch up front. Didn’t do leafs yet so no change in back. Gonna order the icon aal dealio and possibly a front top plate spacer when i get the bigger tires.
    The issue with the double clip brake mod still making the clink sound is no more. I guess just getting in there and regressing all the joints n stuff did the job. Either that or the clink was coming from the old coil/shock. Either way sounds looks and feels good. Ppl say the 3rd gen sus on the 2nd gen makes it ride smoother and more planted. My commute to work is on some pretty bouncy construction highways, so I’ll give it a week and see how she feels

    Dipped the bull bar. I know they’re not a hot item on here but it was on when I bought the truck last year and I like it. It’s my truck so why not? The black looks a lot better than the slightly yellow and pitted chrome.

    Nice face...
    As said before, the Tacoma looks better with her factory front bumper.
    But, it's only plastic, and in severe conditions it breaks....

    Thanks. It's actually an electric boat horn. No need for compressed air.

    It's not as loud as a train, but a good 2x louder than a strong car horn even when muffled by the engine bay
