LonzoRizo's Mid-Travel Doublecab

Alright finally getting around to doing my build. Sold my 01 2wd supercharged frontier the last week of july '11...this gem popped up on the craigslist the night after that, tacoma destiny. So I ended up with my dream truck the week after I sold the frontier. Anyways its an '03, 4x4 TRD, 136k miles on her when I got it. I wheel my truck as much as possible just nothing that puts my truck in too much risk. Tacomaworld has pretty much taught everything I know about working on my truck. I had zero experience doing any kind of auto work before I got my truck, and I've did everything myself on my truck...including installing my lift, stereo system, retrofit projectors, all maintenance, etc.

Pics from when I first got the taco:












First drive of her, had a nice camper (sold), and some running boards (for sale), and also a front tow hitch (also 4sale).






First time wheelin...








First mod was the grey wire mod, then the head unit(s)


Cheap power acoustik...sucked horribly, returned asap


Replaced it with a pioneer headunit, muuuch better.

Painted the grill surround/plasti-dipped bumpers







Painted Wheels


Before:


After:




Made a trip to wheelers!



Installed couple days later.





Sketchy wheel spacers from tacomacntry, waste of $50. Went to re-tighten em the next day and when taking off a lug nut one stud snapped right off. Ordered spidertrax that night.

Nice! Looks great!

 

looking good man!! what are your future mods?

 

I already said my future plans within my first post bud

 

Bump for more comments and opinions; Wheelers 1.5" leaf pack or ome dakars?

 

Nice build and good looking truck. Do you already have the 1.5 wheelers pack out back?

 

I just have the wheelers 1.5" progressive aal not a new pack. My leafs r flat as hell tho so my truck is begging for a new leaf pack.

 

How do you like the set up you have now? I was thinking about a new pack but mine are not completly flat yet.

 

i want those dang wheels! the tundra/sequoia ones!!!!

 

@tacomarotto: gettin fuel hostage wheels within the next month would ya be intrested in buyin these tundra wheels? I'd give ya a sweet deal.

 

Morimoto mini d2s retrofit kit just ordered from TRS! Can't wait for it to come so I can get started.

 

i just read this!

what kinda deal are we talkin here?

 

I'll hit u up when I get my wheels and hopefully we'll figure smthing out.

 

Very nice build

 

Here's some pics of my retrofit progress so far...just waiting on hunter green hi temp paint then I'll b able to finish.











Stay tuned for finished product...
