Project Salvaged: 2019 Tacoma Build

Brought it home today. Still have to get some trim pieces but the truck has came along great!

 

Nice work. Would love to see the total cost after completed so I can slap myself for buying a new one.

 

Right now I’m at roughly 15,500 or so. That is not including airbags or the remaining trim pieces for the front bumper.

Airbags are roughly 4000-6000 easily new. That’s not including replacing the dash, or seats either.

 

So a little update, getting the truck aligned and going up in tire size today.

Going from a 245 to a 265.

I’m still in need of the front driver and passenger seatbelt assemblies.

Pics to follow. Any thoughts on the largest tire size at factory height?

 

265/75R16 or 265/70R17 is the largest. 255/85R16 also works

 

I saw 275/285 may be possible but with trimming, is this true?

 

I went with 265/75R16 and boy do I love how it fills in the wheel wells. Definitely go up to 265/75R16 or 265/70R17

 

I think it depends on wheels, and offset/backspacing to make 275s work. I haven’t personally looked into that size so I could be wrong, but I probably will when it’s time for my next set of shoes

 

Figured I would show an update. Currently at 24k miles.

 

Very nice!

 

I e been eyeballing another Tundra project.

Just can't make myself pull out my wallet.

I have one but it’s matte black. Need to get it painted!

 

Update: 38k miles

This week I picked up black TRD cloth seats and this TRD hood. I’ll have to get the hood painted to match. I also picked up a dash, steering wheel airbag, driver knee airbag, passenger dash airbag, and passenger knee airbag.

I still need the side curtain airbags.

Costs:
TRD Seats: $800
TRD Hood: $550 + stock hood
Dash + 4 Airbags: $1900

 

Things to be completed:

- Paint hood
- Get a gloss black pass. front fender flair
- Get a pass. front fender liner
- Get airbag module flashed/or get new
- Go to dealership to reset dash codes

The Amazon headlights clear coating is coming off so I need to get those redone or source more quality headlights.

 

Why are you going to dealer to clear dash codes?

 

The lights are still on dash from the accident. If there is a way to clear them without going to dealer I would love to do that! Any tips are greatly appreciated

 

If you are talking about the air bags lights, they will be cleared when you send in the SRS module to be regulated.
