    So i have been on this site a lot since i have bought my Tacoma and finally decided to make me a build thread. I have got so much planned for my truck and know it is never going to complete. I have done some mods already and being on TW will help me in the future with any suggestion/comments ya'll have.

    Here is so far how the truck sits

    Great looking truck. I love my DC and I'm sure you like yours too. Looks like some decent mods so far. Only things I'd change is I'd ditch the brush guard, and the lights by the windshield and under the rear bumper. The ones on the rear could get torn off and busted really easily.

    I'll keep watching for updates. Love the red color.

    Truck looks good! Kinda a red, 4 door version of mine. Love the tire choice. And the black and red color scheme is pretty killer. :thumbsup:

    x2 Looks awesome. I like the hi-lift up on the roof rack. Red with black accents is a sweet combo, almost as sweet as gold with black accents! :rolleyes:

    great build so far with some nice mods, keep us posted!

    Truck is looking really good man, that wheel and tire combo is definitely sick. Goes good with the red color. Keep it up! Looking forward to seeing more mods

    I'm digging the color scheme. I'm actually considering a hard top. I like the roof racks on them. I agree with box rocket, I'm not a fan of the brush guards.

    Good job :thumbsup:

    Few questions, how wide are your wheels? 16x8? or 9? and whats the backspacing/offset of them? have you had to trim anything to keep them meat claws from rubbin? cause that makes me want 33's seein your truck.

    I like the black/red theme you got going -- what kind of leafs do you have in the rear? Also what's your set up in the front?
