LETS START​

Well guys ive decided to start a build thread, Im kind of afraid i wont have enough pictures to really get a good thread but i shall try!

Its a 2006 Tacoma Double cab TRD sport with 4x4, Bought at 96k and now has 115K almost, I LOVE MY TRUCK!

Bought the lanyard before i even bought the truck! I knew i was going to get that truck as soon as i saw it!


I just bought her! September 10th 2011.

She came with Heated leather Katzskins, and debadged.

First thing was tires!

Looking good man

 

Thank you sir!

 

Diggin' it man...coming along nicely!

 

I feel like ive done nothing to it, But the wallet says so much different! haha

 

looks good! are they really 265/75 ? or are they 265/70 ?

 

I went up to a 75. I wanted a little taller/skinner tire.

 

UPDATE! BUMP CHECK IT OUT!

 

Went to open house and got a couple quotes, Heard nothing but good things about addicted off road! Looking at sliders, and spidertrax wheel spacers!

 

Added my timeslip from the last Take It To The Track at Bandimere that is sponsored by the great Colorado State Patrol

 

Well, Hit 120,000 miles on her... Time to do some maintanance, See what the belts look like, Do an oil and tranny fluid change... Probably do the diffs and also have my tires rotated.

 

Went on a trip to Kenosha pass with my buddy chris who just happened to get a new jeep First day out for his rig. Kenosha is really set up right now!


Didnt even know he was taking pictures, I do not normally have my pants down this low, I promise im not that bro'ed out normally. HAHA I look like a freaking retard!




Some Trail damage, Slid into a freaking stump and nailed the rear bumper and then on the way home i freaking hit a cone not paying attention! Ugh i really gotta use the remote on my 7" Monitor instead of using the touchscreen!



I will post some more pictures and videos once i get my video cam out the truck, These are just the photos off my buddies cell.

 

U say 3" lift...................what did ya go with and how's it ride?

Ok, actually u put 3' of lift, but I get whatcha meant

 

Billy 5100s all around, Toytec/eibach 2" coils and an AAL in the rear. The ride isnt bad at all for the billys being cranked, No huge difference in ride quality, Little harsh on bumps though but its calmed down with a couple 100 miles.

 

Gotcha......I assume u only put the 5100s at 0.85 right?
That's the benefit of linear coils I suppose... they take preloading "better" than progressive.


Btw, the toytecs/eibachs 620's are rated at 1.6" not 2.

As for any harshness, I know that the faster (within reason) I hit something, the smoother it is compared to slowly going over.
I assume that's due to digressive valving.

 

And yeah......be careful with the radio......it can cause accidents. I know I miss buttons sometimes but its easier than looking away from the road, and I've seen what can happen even driving slowly.

Keep it shiny side up!

 

Replacing the grill, Looks like its gonna have a 2011 grill on it now, Some asshole ran his cart into my grill and shattered the black pieces. Now i gotta get my rear bumper, Relentless HC baby!

 

Threw up a new picture, Most recent photo of the truck. Shes coming along

 

Not sure if im content with the emblem colors. Anybody have any good ideas on what to do with my extra toyota emblem?

 

Threw up a checklist for future mods, Cant wait to start checking some shit off.
