    Lowered 3/4, debadged, led tails, projector headlights with hids, billet grill, blacked out windows, painted front and rear bumper and grill shell. Inside, 4 crappy 15's, suede wrapped headliner and door panel inserts, alpine double din, few painted pieces inside, and every led is either blue or white.
    Thanks for the comment. I'm thinking about painting the machined part of the wheels to match and I feel like it would help the overall look.

    A few
    Nice truck, you bought blackened headlights or painted what you had? I'm wondering if I can paint the chromed parts of my factory ones rather than getting a black set.

    I bought some that were black. You can paint them yourself though. If you search bhlm on here you should be able to find a how to thread

    Lol I've never been too crazy about the color honestly. I wish it was either a gunmetal grey or dark blue.

    Got a small update. I spent a few hours and took the wheels off, cleaned up the frame, suspension and everything behind the wheels then painted it all black with duplicolor caliper paint. I feel like it really helps it all to look cleaner.

    Man I just went through your whole thread. I new here but from what I've seen, it's hard to find any thread that doesn't have some troll leaving a negative thread. I love the Tacomas and I'm like a lot of others who are not really into lowering. I have to say that you have one of the best looking and cleanest truck I have ever seen. Raised or lower. I'm now a fan of lowered trucks. If you have not started your business, you need to. You have a great talent. You seem to be a perfectionist and what I've seen here you could charge what ever you want to for any of your work. Your truck is as classy and as clean of a build as anything the top shops across the country is turning out. Keep up the great work you are doing. You can go as far as you want to go in this business. Awesome job.

    I definitely appreciate the good words. Means a lot to me. I try to pay attention to the details and I'm it's a great feeling when someone recognizes them.

    God this build is heavenly, I have a dark blue access cab on 20's with 3" inch blocks in the rear. I haven't gotten around to modifying my truck much, Your truck is everything I wanted my taco to be. Big thumbs up on the 24's and all the color matching.

    Finally got the front end done. I had the bumper repainted and got my satoshi finished.

    It's been a while I guess. Well I really haven't done much. I've made some progress on my box and got the stock wheels back on the truck. Two rims and two tires are destroyed so I'm thinking about getting some 20's and dropping it another couple inches when I can afford it. I'm putting most my time and money into my Ranger so not much is going on with this thing.

    I guess I never posted these pictures but I put some qa1's in the back several months ago.

    The satoshi grille looks so much better man. As for the rims i think 20s would be perfect if you are shooting to go 4/5 with DJM bolt on notch. I miss your all red tails though :(. Beautiful truck overall, can wait to see updated pics of you slammed on 20s!

    Hey man thanks for the comment. I actually just ordered the wheels and tires. I went with some vsr boss 19's. And I'm getting some Toyo proxes through work for less than half cost. I'm planning on getting some 4wd leafs hopefully soon and I'll notch the frame and then put some spindle spacers to lower the front another inch and a half. I'm thinking once I drop it some more and then put the system in it should be around 2" lower all around considering that I have about 600lbs of audio equipment haha.

    Also like many others have said on here already I have not been a fan of lowered trucks, but I am a fan of greet craftsmanship and this truck is so ridiculously clean and the attention to detail is amazing. Very nice truck!!
