Tacoben Build

My dad was in the Navy for 12 years. Thank you for your service

 

Thats awesome thank you for your support and thank you for your dads service

 

Just took off my fenders this week broke some tabs gotta order some and double bubble the ones from the fender that broke off then prepping to cut them 2.5" leaving some mounts along the way so i can still install the wheel well liners if possible gonna post pictures as soon as i get home.

 

Research. Little. Idk you were going LT you may not have to cut fenders. If going +3.5 lt you’ll have to replace fenders with fiberglass ones

 

not yet going LT i probably see if i can do a 2WD conversion to 4WD if i get the perfect parts that will make it easier/less headache before going to LT in the future if not ill just get another 4x4 tacoma in the far future of course lol right now just prepping to clear 315x70R17 first before i buy the tires when i get back from deployment then regear if i have to? definately gonna do more research @.@ going to mess slowly with my stock bumper just a little hopefully comes out good >.<

 

Im looking to cut the bumper like this plus the 2.5” on the fenders it will look wierd but ill take the risk lol will see might change the angle still

update: got pussied out will see and look maybe ill get bored and cut it lol i just want to see if i can still put a cover so that the fog lights dont get wet

 

Just cut the fenders today still waiting for the dremel fuse so i can fix it to get the flares done clean and waiting for flare clips too still over thinking how i will cut the bumper as soon as i get the fenders done thats when ill plan how will i cut it and ill be reusing the plastic cover around the wheel thats for the other day.

Update: in the end i used the jig saw it cuts like a butter screw the dremel lol i should have used the jig saw for everything i left so much metal tabs that makes my cut not the most beautiful lol just incase in the future i put a fender liner

 

Replace my wife 2006 honda civic EX Rotors and break pads then i installed the front fender of the taco only when i get the extra clips ill install the rear fenders waiting for the fender trim also because it give that super clean look

 

Finally a fender trim that fits nicely but pain in the ass to install it has a very tight fit but well worth the trouble its better to install it off the car 35 here we go

Installed the Ray 10 and Falken Wildpeak A/T 35x12.5R17 yesterday still rubs but well worth the pain

 

Holy shit those look amazing

 

thank you sir ⚓️

 

My 35/11.5/17 Toyo AT3s should be here Monday.
What is that you used on the edges of the cut fenders?
I think that is the last thing I need to get my hands on.
I really don't want a snorkle so I am going to have to figure out another solution to ripping all the liners out if need be.

 

@Jacked Burton replied to you broski i was deployed when you message my bad late reply no internet on the boat

 

Installed this bed tire carrier and just been using a bicycle wire lock to make sure bad guys have a bit of hard time lol

P.S
If you have thicc rim and tire like me -38 you have to buy a extra slong bolt on lowes or home depo just bring the short one that comes with it to have a idea how big lol its is
