that is about all the mods for now.

 

may need.

 

changed the OP a little.

 

Nice start man keep it going!!! What mod is in the immediate future?

 

Good plan buddy...slow and steady!

 

Great except for the orange T on the back glass. Lol just messing with ya bro. Post up pics as you go.

 

thanks guys. and the T is coming off. lol. not the look thought it was going to be.

 

Nice! Like the Black Badges... I debadged mine over the summer... bunch of people end up asking what kind of truck it is... gotta keep em guessing!

 

thanks! yeah i like them. i added one to the tail gate as well. it was debadged. idk why toyota put chrome badges on a silver truck!! lol it’s not like they don’t already make them in black for the X runners.

 

I got a buddy with a Tundra and he doesn't have any badges at all... it's just the way they sold it to him... like it cost extra to get em or something... I like my truck better without any... nice clean effect... at least for my truck anyway

 

is yours prerunner or 4x4??! I'm not too familiar with 2nd gens... 1st gens have a shifter, but 2nd's have knob right??!
Looking to do a 4x4 conversion on my Taco if I can get a good deal on one somewhere...

 

4X4. and yeah 2nd gen have a knob. idk about 1st gen. i know 1st gen tundra have a push button. because thats how dads is.

 

thanks! i will as money lets me. hope to get the front windows tinted in the next few weeks. than save for a alarm or some bass. may get alarm first since i don’t have one at all. lol

 

well i got a bet mat(well i don’t think it’s called that but it works) from tractor supply last week for $43 with tax. it was 4’x6’ so me and dad had to do a little cutting. but since Toyota wants like $120 for the tacoma bed mat. i still came out on top. ran out of light last night so i’ll get a pic in a bit. when sun comes up.

best way to cut it in a hand saw. may take a little longer. but a circler saw the teeth don’t want to clean and it bogs it down allot because it so thick. maybe a different blade would work better but idk.

in my mind saving $60+ it’s worth it!!

 

pic of the bed mat.
about 1 1/4” to narrow on both sides. 3 1/2” over all. thats at the mettle by the tail gate
how thick it is.

butted right up to the tail gate. touches by the cab as well

 

going to order some stuff tonight. nuts and stuff to attach some stuff to the bed rails. ammo can, and 2 fishing rod holders.

edit: never mind the ordering. going down to fastenal tomorrow.

 

Fishing rod holders i’m using.
and the 40MM ammo can i will be adding.

 

I thought you titled the thread "My slow mall build"

Nice truck though

 

lol. and thanks! also seams like every few weeks my ideas grow and i want more and more done.

when i made this i did not think i was going to get plate bumpers but now i know i want them. lol damn TW!

 

well i washed it. and plasti dipped my rear chrome bumper. looks better IMO! in a few weeks i’ll prob get some bed liner, and bed line it.


also added a bassnectar sticker.
