Shaydo’s Reggae-lar Cab build

I had Kalā do the work while I was working on the mainland. Should stop by his shop. If you not familiar, his shop is up next to Kauai Athletic Club up in Kapahi

 

Got my stripes put back on also the tailgate decals that weren’t there when I bought it. I put New “Tacoma” badges too I’m stoked on how crispy it looks now. Looks almost like it probably did off the lot idk. Waiting for this rain season to gtf outta here so I can finally give it a nice wash and a good hard wax layer. Like I said in the beginning, slowly but surely coming together without being too radical. I need a fresh undercoating, and a brake job. Possibly looking at a PowerStop setup as my front calipers are hashed. Also need bucket seats of the year so that I can have the truck completely returned to the original “SX” that it was.

 

Rolled past you last weekend in Lihue right by the intersection in front of KFC, your truck looks super clean in person! Looking at getting a bed rack setup for my truck but contemplating between Thule and Yakima, how you liking yours so far?

 

I like the Thule Xsporter pro because its adjustable by the inch. I usually carry fishing gear but when I put my canoe on I raise it up a few notches to clear my foot wells. Plus I never really liked the look of some racks that stick way higher than the roof line haha. If you go with these go buy um through Kuhio Ford they have a better deal than online I think. I bought mine open box because they used it for a truck in a commercial and took it off.

 

I think you live in the same complex as my girlfriend, been meaning to ask you lol. You have a clean white single cab and recently put on ditch lights right?

 

More pics for the eyes. Been on the shoreline a lot since moving completely back home and haven’t really been posting here due to some fun having but here’s this past Sundays shoreline session in the morning. Follow on IG @the.beach.walker for more activity from me! Thanks!

 

Shoreline action last week. Was blessed with a good little GT caught and released

 

This has got to be one of the nicest 1st gens in the world. How do you like the supercharger? I'm about 1 click away from buying one.

 

Thanks pal! It’s not showroom standards but it’s still a little cool lol. Supercharger is so fun. Make sure you get the high boost setup. I received my water/methanol injection kit and real close to putting it in so stay tuned haha. Got that inspiration from @1997tacomav6

 

If you need any help let me know

 

Passed by your truck in front of the CrossFit gym in Lihue with your wa’a, as always, looks super nice need to hit up kala once all this Coronavirus stuff blows over and get my truck painted

 

Raja that! I was blessed with a position at Hawaiian Tel couple months ago so I've been busy trying to get settled into work and develop good habit lol. Thats the reason i haven't been on TW for a long while. I've done a bunch of maintenance jobs on it that ill post up in the near future. I hope X-D

 

Sweet ride my man. Following along for sure.

 

Got a job at home In the same field of work finally so I don’t have to travel. It came with my very own parking stall LoL here it waits for me for 8 hours...

 

I got a new (used but still cherry) rear bumper and a set of some rare flat clear lenses for the tail lights and third brake for a deal. Don’t ask my why but people pay coin for these fkn lenses. On the streets up to $450 a set.

 

Congrats on the new job! Been seeing a lot of guys working down by the airport lately pulling wire heading towards Ahukini. I’m about the pull the trigger on some clear headlights and clear taillights from a dude selling them in Kapaa, but I haven’t come across anybody who is running his stuff so I’m weary of moisture getting in.

 

just gotta make sure for the tails you use the rubber gasket that lay in between the lense and housing. just check all the seals you should be fine lol \000/

 

Brakes needed an emergency replacement. The 25 year old calipers had seized pistons on both sides causing excessive wear and the shit load of brake dust on my wheels. Power Stop in the future but for now Autozones brand will do the job.

 

The underneath looked like it needed a refresh so went to NAPA to scope out some aerosols. I Knew I needed to put back some rubberized stuff under the fenders since it looked like it all fell off over the years and the frame needed to be black and protected again.

 

Hey man I live on Kauai as well. Sick try btw, I got a 98 tacoma single cab you know anyone else with a supercharger sitting around?
