The day I brought her home on 12/2010



What goes better with a Truck than a Dog!!!



The first thing I did was put in the K&N Air Intake - Dont notice any gas milage difference but the response time and sound are phenomenal!



Had to change out the stock grille with a Grillcraft
Writeup for a 2011 grille cut away and install - http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-tacomas/212978-2011-grillcraft-install-pics.html



Next I installed the Billstein 5100's and set the front @ 2.5"



Didnt like the "Bro-Lean" so quickly fixed that with the Rear leaf TSB, a Toytec 1.5" AAL and some bigger tires



To capture all of my adventures, I put a mount above the front valence for the GoPro







Just finished the Satoshi Mod on a color matched grille I'm stoked how it came out!!





Then shortly I did the lower Satoshi





Added some new tails and plasti-dipped the back bumper to phase out the chrome





Then came the Level 8 Guardians! I added the TRD center cap





Did some LED mods

New BIKE - TREK 29er!!

 

Nice build! Im surprised I havent seen you around yet. We have bi/weekly meets starting up in tucson finally, you should come out tonight to Old Chicago Grill @ 6pm. Ill find the link for you but its always cool meetin other local TW members

 

Thanks! That would be awesome.. Im still kind of a newbie so I have been wanting to do a meet and greet. Unfortunately I have class on Thurs nights but one of these days Ill have to skip and come hang out.

 

looks good man. Love the satoshi! U thought about color matching the grill shroud? Might look cleaner

 

Thanks bud! Yeah I need to update some of the pics. I ordered a color matched grille and did the satoshi on that. SO glad I did that. I sold the old chrome grille and grillcraft.

 

Nice truck and bikes
I'm very interested in the dual auto windows. Been wanting a passenger auto down since I got my truck so I'll have to check back and see if you figure it out. PM me and maybe we can collaborate on the idea.

 

Thanks! I dont think it should be that hard to install the new switches, just splice and connect. I got the idea from here: http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2n...w-have-auto-up-down-feature-both-windows.html.

I just havent gotten around to it and now with football starting.. But 'Ill let you know for sure once I install them.

 

Nice build

 

ill be in touch once you do

 

Bump - updated some pics and added some videos

 

Looking good how are those tires working out?

 

Nice lookin truck!

 

No complaints so far, no vibes or noise on the highway. Cant beat the price and warranty too

Thanks bud!

 

My OME 885x coils were delivered yesterday!! Im going to throw these on the billies set @ 0 hopefully next week. I also ordered the top plate spacers to get close to 3" in the front.

 

Boardude,

Did you have any problems fitting your Trek 29er in the short bed? I'm getting ready to buy a short bed and was wondering how my Specialized StumpJumper 29er will fit.

 

It fit like a glove when I first got it and the tailgate kept it from bouncing around when closed. Since then I replaced the back tire with a beefier Kenda 29x2.2 so its a tighter fit. Usually I just leave the tailgate down
