Everyone is doing it!..I don't want to feel left out.

Bought it August 22nd, 2011.
2009 Tacoma 4x4 DoubleCab ShortBed Skewp Edition.


I ordered WeatherTech Digifits about 5 days before buying the truck.
So I got those put in a day after owning it.


Saw some dirt for a bit. My first time having 4x4. This is just off of Kendall Dr on the 215 up to Victorville. It was about 100 degrees out so I wasn't really planning on getting awesome shots or anything, I just jumped out while I waiting for my buddy in his F150.




I picked up an aFe intake with a Pro Dry filter. Past 3000RPMs this thing roars.


Thanks to SockMonkey I picked up some SoCal stickers. I just wanted something a little different from the rest of the Tacos around here. Most of my buddies would say "BBrraappp!!"


Rear Differential Breather Mod


ScanGauge, LazyManInstall so I tucked it in between my seat for now. (Blendmount wont work because of stupid Bluetooth Mic!)



GrillCraft. Everyone either does the Satoshi or plain GrillCraft so I installed mine and added the center Toyota logo onto the inside beam where the air temp sensor is and I like it. If I grow tired of it I can take it off in 5 minutes.


Wet Okole Seat Covers installed down in Costa Mesa on 11/5/2011, I also have 6'x6' of extra material to do the doors. Black w/ Charcoal and TRD logo.



Doors


Jerez worked his magic on the cluster and radio. I plan on getting rid of all orange/amber.


12/20/2011 - Asshole attorney at the law firm I work at hit me. I took the $1700 estimate and bought All Pro front bumper and rear wrap around bumper.

Big thanks to jonny for lending a hand and helping me get my 5100's on upfront matched with 885 coils.




I stole a wheel for a fitment check.


12/31/2011
Hit 42k miles so I did my oil change and went full synthetic Royal Purple aannndd....

Blacked out emblems

AllPro Front, wheel spacers, Plasti-Dipped wheels

Started at 9am. I needed one more coat on the bumper so as that was drying I installed my wheel spacers and Plasti-Dipped my wheels.



4" coupler and 4" clamps held those OEM fogs in real good. They also project enough light for me.


Day after install it was a nice sunny day so I snapped a couple of pics. All 4 wheels are painted. Don't mind the last pic.

AllPro Rear put on. currently looking for another place to put that spare tire. Looks fugly under there.




3/23/2012
Swapped my aFe WAI for a true TRD CAI (The good one.)


Busted out the fog light anytime mod along with the yellow wire mod.

 

Glad to see you went with the 4x

 

I had some time after the stickers to do one more mod...cheap...easy...and worth it.


probably a newb question but what mod is this? ^

 

rear diff breather re locate

 

Rear Diff Breather Mod...

 

cool!

 

looks great so far, now hurry up and lift that.

 

Glad I did. I almost pulled the trigger on a PreRunner about 2 weeks earlier at Redlands but found this for 3k more, fully loaded, with 10,000 less miles. Patience! Thanks!

Thanks! I want a proper 3" with KMC Enduros. Workin' on it.

 

if you do go with a lift don't go drop bracket lift.

 

Looks good and clean so far

 

Looks good so far!

 

You regret?

 

Haha yeah. No drop brackets or blocks here. I plan on doing it right because I actually plan to wheel a bit. Thanks for the advice and encouragement guys!

 

Hey bud, saw your grill in TW live, where did you get your mesh?

 

UP NEXT:
- I have a GrillCraft sitting in the closet, just getting everything ready to Satoshi it.

 

I put the GrillCraft in and will Satoshi when I....get around to it?!

Up next: 5100's because Jonny seems to be the evil devil on my shoulder.
& possibly Wet Okoles.

 

UPDATE 12/17/2011.

Jerez worked his LED magic and replaced the amber with white. This guy does awesome work and it looks 100x better. Hit him up!


Then an attorney who I work with hit my parked truck. Getting fixed before Christmas.

 

hey man when can i get the material??? you around thrusday night or this week???

 

I might be available this week but only on Wednesday. If that's an option let me know.
