My 2008 build

Well i want to use the thread so i can have a place to show my own build and get advice for you out there.

my plan so far is...

3 in lift kit front and back
frame sliders ... (custom built by yours truly)
front and rear bumpers (build by yours truly)
tires
and a fiberglass bed cover.

as well as a stereo up grade
power invert in cab
new lighting (Green)
and head lights (hid projection)
and new fog lights (hid if i can find them)
carpet for the bed and rubber mat

so if you have a few mins and want to give me some input please feel free to
send me links or advice. likes dislikes what ever.


im still trying to figure out how to post pics on here so bare with me..

 

Sounds like you have a plan! Like to see pics.....which you can do by creating a photobucket.com account or going to the advance options tab on a post

 

heres what my starting base is, 2008 tacoma pre-runner double cab TRDsport

 

Is that a North Park Toyota paper plate I see? That's where I bought my truck from, great guys, really helped my dad and I out when we got my Tacoma.

 

it is a north park truck the second on i have gotten from them. in fact i have to go down there today and get my dented rims fixed and truck aligned, when i bought it the inspection tech didnt catch the dented rims, but i did and goin to get then fixed

north par is a great place and 2 pm is cookie hour....

 

thats worked out great using photobucket made it really easy thanks

 

Having read your thread, I noticed that you were making your own sliders and bumpers; and your name, "TwistedMetalfab". I'm only asking cuz you are in SA and relatively close. Do you have a custom fab shop, or work for one? That would be awesome cuz there are none down here.

 

yes and know, i build stuff in my garage and yes im in SA, hahaha so if you want after i build mine your more then welcome to check it out and look at it in person, if you like it we can defiantly talk..

im building mine in the next 2 weeks or so and i have another one im goin to get started on for a friend of mine so there will be two of en running around town.

 

That's awesome! I wish there were cool Tacoma owners like that down here. All we have are Chevys and dodges with 8" lifts and 35" mud tires that never leave the pavement, boring and old to me. I dream about having the time/money/resources to just go out to my garage and build what I want, the way I want, when I want, haha. That's why I haven't bought a bumper yet. I definitely will keep an eye on your build so I can see your craftsmanship, and it would be awesome to see in person, mounted on a truck. My dad also drives a Tacoma, and wants a new front bumper, so he might be interested also. He hates not being able to see something in person before he buys it so you being close is a big plus.

 

What's up TMF, where are the pics of the "wheeling" we did yesterday?

Lookin forward to seeing your products man!
