Your right. Do that and I'll be all set. All ready have money aside to buy the parts and stuff haha

Thanks mike, Im happy. By the way, I saw your post count. Holy hell dude. You talk alot

Yup thats true. It just seems right and if when I see it it seems alittle off, he has seven 2000 to 2004 tacomas on his lot haha.

 

Unless you want that newer double cab..you picked the best one there... You could just pull up too their black one( that ones been crashed ) and see what those wheels look like black...

Good luck....

 

I might ask to transfer those wheels onto mine haha. What a deal that would be haha. How do you know it has been crashed?

 

Sweet ride Miguel, hope this works out !

What year is it?

I actually like that color; all the black stuff you're going to put on it will look great ! Sliders, bumper, wheels, tires, roll cage ....

 

Thank you. Its an 04.

And guys, Im having a hard time finding companies that sell first gen front protection. Like a grill guard. Something to protect it. Anyone know of anything good.

 

Single best thing I can tell you is don't look at the total $$ they're willing to lend you. Screw around with a mortgage calculator and change the rates and stuff, figure out what you can afford every month including worst case stuff like car repairs, a car payment, etc. My sister wasn't so prudent and she's doing okay but she did overbuy IMO.

 

Like a bumper? Lots of companies make them. If you mean just like a brush guard, i know westin makes one.

Here's a bunch:

I had extra plates left over. I couldn't fit them on the bottom holes (which is reinforced anyways) so I bought grade 8 washers for them. All side bolts have plates but the front one with that bar thing.

 

Everything is made for the first gens EVERYTHINGGGG

 

I saw that and westin does make one but its 500 and the airens one has really bad reviews. I'll keep looking. I think once i get it, I'll buy a factory black grill and rear black bumper. That will be my first set of mods. Then tires and small lift.

 

Miguel, the brush guards and bull bars are just damage multipliers and offer very little in the way of protection.

 

Plate or tube bumper with grill/ headlight hoops if you really want protection

 

I kind of figured that. They might cause more harm then good. I dont wanna buy a plate bumper so I guess i'll just deal with it

Enjoy

 

To heavy. I guess i'll just stick with nothing for now

 

The 1st Gens at least have a metal front bumper instead of the plastic cover that you have on your 2010.

 

I concur


1.5" tube smushed to paper thin after a 45mph broadsiding. In the bullbar's defense, I pushed the camry's doors in a foot an spun it around lol

 

Thats true they do. I just gonna black everything out . silver paint but black wheels,bumpers,grill,headlight and tails lol

 

Tube bumpers are significantly lighter than plate bumpers. Not as much protection, but still a lot more than stock.

 

wow. Looks like it took one hell of a beating. I wont buy anything yet. My bull bar did damage to my bumper. I hate those things now
