Justin's Build

So I got my truck back in 2011 on New Year's Day.


Here's my list of mods:
Rockford P3 Shallow 10" mounted behind driver side back seat
Rockford 300W mono channel amp
Alpine deck
Hella 500FF 35W HID
Bamf Light bar
130W KC Slim lites 6"
Relentless Fab bed rack rails
265/70/17 Trail Grapplers 10ply
Fog Light anytime mod
Full OME kit with 886 and Dakars
TC UCA's
BAMF Sliders with pickup (on the way)

Future Mods:
Brute Force Hybrid Front
Brute Force HC Rear with tire carrier, rotopak can carrier, and hi lift carrier
Some type of topper

2009 TRD Sport 4x4 DLCB with 49k miles. I haven't done too much to it yet, but I'll try to go in order. First was my stereo.

It's an Alpine deck (the 138BT I believe)
I also have a Rockford 300W mono channel amp and a P3 shallow 10" (I'll get pictures soon)
Next came the light bar from BAMF (I love this product and would highly recommend it.)

Then some Hella 500ff converted to 35W HID that I got on the forum
.
I put this behind the stock grill, until I could afford a new one.
.
Following that I got some new tires. My old tires were highway tires and didn't really grip anything, so I got some Nitto Trail Grapplers M/T 265/70/17.



Went out and had some fun in them. I've gotten stuck multiple times with them, and even had to get pulled out by a raptor once...

.
About a week after I got my grillecraft I also got some KC slimlite 6" 130W. Damn these things are bright! Threw them on the light bar between my HIDs and I loved it.


Following that was the Relentless Fab bed bars. These things are great and I love them. I got them to put ski racks onto but they're very versatile. Thru on a bed liner onto them to prevent them from rusting.

.
Then put some skis on them.

Finally I've relocated my KCs with Relentless's hood mount


Next down the road I'd like to do full OME with Dakars and UCAs along with BAMF sliders and Brute Force rear bumper and front hybrid. Thanks for reading!

 

Off to a good start.
You're going to love the Emu.
I would go with sliders & skids then bumpers (that's what I'm doing) instead of sliders & bumpers.

 

with this pic, it just screams WEATHERTECHS!!!!

 

So yesterday I put on my lift
I went with a full OME kit with 886's up front and new dakars in the rear. I also got TC UCA's. While installing it I decided to keep my sway bar off, just to see the difference. Well here are some pictures from the install and afterwards.


Tightening down the 886's up front


I think my buddy was more excited than I was at the moment...


Well we got the fronts done, and while the wheels were off we plasti dipped them




Then onto the back.

These dakars were heavy! But the ride is so nice

And the end result


Did a little wheeling this morning on base and found these cool little mounds to climb. Having the lift definitely helped out so I wouldn't scrape my rear bumper.



Getting a little flex out of the rear

 

hey man nice build, how did you mount those KC's at the top of your hood?

 

Thanks! Relentless Fab made those. I think they are called CB hood mounts. Something along that line. Erik makes a great product. I sprayed some primer then bed liner on them so they dont rust. I love them.

 

Eric's CB hood mounts (specify right & left). Hood opens just fine with an antenna or lights on them.

thanks for the help guys, those mounts are sweet, ive been looking for something like that for awhile. I gotta make my build thread soon, bunch of pieces are coming together nicely.

 

whatd he charge for the two of them?

 

I think they're $21 for one but cheaper for 2..... He has them on his website. Under Tacoma it's on the 2nd page

 

Looks sick! What are your measurements with the lift?

 

Hmm I'm not sure. I don't have them before the lift but I can do them post lift. Which measurements do you want?

 

MEGA THUMBS DOWN. He just sold this truck. Justin, I will slap you every day I see you now.

 

Oh Brian..... One day I will get a truck again, but until then I will just fly around in my diesel
