TacoFMS' attempt at a build thread

I've seen your handy work, so all I can say is you plan on doing it twice?????

 

I’m still here and that’s awesome! Cant wait to see what you do with it.

We’re getting the wife a GX 460 sometime before the end of the year so then I will have two Lexus/Toyota vehicles in the proverbial garage. She’s already given me the green light to mod it however I want as long as it stays roadworthy

 

You have 5 vehicles... you mean you have 4 clones of yourself to drive em all at once?



Joking aside...

I had 3 vehicles before.. Mustang, Impala, Tacoma.

Mustang: Sold.
Impala: Sold.
Tacoma: Traded it in for '17 Tacoma.

 

Spent almost the entire holiday weekend working on the new truck.

Was able to put in all new headlight assemblies, taillight assemblies, side markers, third brake light, tailgate bushings to stop the rattle, all new weather stripping for the doors, new UCA's, lca's, sway bar links and bushings, inner and outer tie rods, front brake pads and rotors, plus a new passenger side caliper, full Eibach suspension kit and installed the newly painted 4runner wheels i got from @Shibbyjeep with a fresh set of Bridgestone rubber.


I think it turned out quite nice. Just need the front to settle in a bit because it actually has a very stiff and tight ride now.

Next will be the timing belt service with a new water pump, thermostat, radiator and pulleys and belt... but that will likely be in a couple weeks.

 

Looking good.

 

Looks good man!

 

Thank you sir!

How have you been?

 

Not too shabby! nothing new with the truck just driving it a bunch. I’m trying to decide what tire to go with next obviously

the fact that my current Yokohamas have lime 50,000 miles left on them is irellevant lol
