    Good afternoon people.

    Ok so, first truck ever 2011 Tacoma off-road super white. I loved her. She came lifted (guessing spacer lift) not sure fully. Had the mt tires and aftermarket wheels. Did little to no real mods to her. Decals badges, plasti dipped the grill. Bought her with 95k on her. This was in 2016.

    Long story short. I got stuck in the snow with my boy about 8 miles up a mountain. (Hunting elk) We hike down everyone is safe. Buddies come pull me out. I start looking at bumpers and winches to install. Then light bars along with them. Realizing I’m about to drop 2500-5000 into her. That’s fine. But... she has 209k on her at this point. One year left for pay off. I decide to get a newer model and start from the ground up.

    So here I am today. I have installed the led cab lights. The center console organizer and the dash organizer. Metal lettering for the tail gate.

    TRD pro look alike will be here tonight.

    my appointment is set for Les Schwab to do the 700$ lift and I’m installing 285/70/17 with some courser mxt and race line injectors.

    I don’t do any hard core off roaring. Mountain roads maybe a few mud holes if I’m feeling froggy.

    Tint job will be last. Have a friend of a friend doing it on the deals.

    custom bed decal ordered from sticker hi.
    Thanks for your time any input would be great thank you.

    Updated pics attached. Old truck. Bumper I selected. Tires I thought I wanted and decided to go bigger. The bumper pic is fuzzy... I order the slimline tube bumper off Tacomabeast.com Thanks again.

    updated again. Pro grill installed. Went without the garnish at first. Tomorrow will be installing the garnish. The sensor went off just driving a few miles down the road.

    update, I’ve installed my bro grill and lights and finally got the harness in. I think I must of blown a fuse for the drl luckily my box had a extra 10a so it worked out. I might mess with positioning later but for now I love the way they look.

    update: spacer lift is on. New tires and wheels. 285/70/17 courser mxt am race line injectors. Love the look no rubbing.

    I installed the meso chrome delete kit. Love it. Went with ajt designs for vent rings. Due to meso mgm color being sold out everywhere. I updated to the meso minimalist fob it’s legit. Gives me a unique personal feelto my key.

    pending shipment for door handle covers from meso customs.

    pending purchase to replace mirror signals and headlights.

    Well I’m guessing it’s a spacer lift...
