Got some catch up work to post on. I took delivery of my '09 TRD Sport DC LB 4x4 Wednesday night. When I pulled into the driveway, at home, my K&N FIPK was waiting for me. Thursday after work I installed it.

Friday I got off work early. I went by the dealership and picked up my bed mat. Then, I went to the muffler shop and had 3" pipe installed from the Y, with a Magnaflow muffler, and had it turned down right before the axle. Then I took it to the tint shop and had the two front windows tinted. The UPS delivered my AVS vent visors that evening.

Today I installed the vent visors, door edge guards, removed some overspray spots and installed the Husky Liners (front & rear) that the UPS man dropped off today.

Wheeew! I think I'm caught up

 

Hi. I am new to the site and am in the process of upgrading my 2000 PreRunner. Been paid off for a while and thought I should put some money back into my truck. Just installed some Bushwacker Extend-a Fenders and Husky liners. On Tuesday I am getting an OME 881 kit with Dakar springs and an ARB front bumper. Have been looking at wheels and tires but cannot decide so looking for suggestions. Worried about backspace of rims and what will work. Was thinking about running 33s but worried about rubbing. Wanting to go with black rims too. Here's a pic after the Bushwackers. Thanks

 

Looking good Chabro!! Welcome to TW.

 

Today, well yesterday, I installed my 2" spacers from Fat Bob's Garage and had the front end aligned at Firestone. It took me about an hour and a half. It really changed the way the truck looks and the new tires don't rub anymore! If the snow stops I m going to install the differential drop spacers next.

 

Just got my OME kit and ARB Bumper today. Installing tomorrow!

 

damn!!! thats gonna be a sweet setup!!!

 

x2! Pics please!

 

Hopefully I'll have some pics to post tomorrow. Getting black steelies w. BFG MT 33s on Monday. I am hoping the wheels will not rub in the calipers. Some say yes and some say no?? Any ideas? Wheels are Unique 15x8 -13mm offset and 4" backspace.

 

well i work at the honda dealer as a tech and it was so slooooowwwww , i figured wth i might as well change my trans oil and sparkplugs , so i went to the toyota dealer down the road and bought what i needed and headed back to the shop to work on my truck

 

Pulled the front mudflaps! I think I'm keeping the back ones on.

 

Nice work Derek!!!

 

Hopefully it'll get a little dirtier now.

 

I have done the following with OEM parts:

Replaced a license plate light (chrome step bumper)
Replaced right rear splash guard
Replaced left front marker lamp
Replaced both front headlamp lenses (lens/housing)
Replaced both quarter window latches
Oil and filter change
Rotate and balance wheels
Front end alignment

My wife usually drives the Taco and has a bad habit of tailgating. It really irritates me badly! Thus, the replacement of the marker lamp and both headlamps. I'll need to replace the windshield soon as well as a result of that tailgating The license plate lamp lens got cracked somehow, so I replace it as well.

Otherwise, the remainder of the truck is almost like new.

 

Finished my sub enclosure surround. Cut out the middle of the black plastic storage bins and carpeted them with left over carpet from the box.
