Shout Out To:

Jerry at BAMF. - Jerry has done some awesome custom work for me as well as produced some awesome standard products for my truck.
Eric at Relentless - He makes great stuff. The quality and look of his work is top notch.
Dan at Wheelers - Wheelers gets what I need fast. I have ordered from them several times and I couldnt be happier with the service.

Here are the slickrock pics




























The bamf LCA skids work






SO LET THE STORY BEGIN

I traded in the 2012 prerunner for a 2014 white DCSB 4x4 trd offroad. I got to keep my wheels and tires. I had a long commute when I bought the the prerunner and now that I only drive about 10 miles a day the mileage doesn't matter as much anymore.

My 2012 prerunner build


Link to that build: http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-tacomas/262475-my-build-2012-prerunner-before-after.html

The First Day I put everything from my prerunner on the truck.



Also added my old avid bar and skid plate



and roof rack


Then I got a color matched grill and did some plsti dipping


Next was a 3 inch lift from toytec. with toytec coils/ 5100s/ dakars/ 5160s and a ubolt flip kit







Picked up trail gear rock sliders on craigslist bedlined them and welded them on





Then I bedlined the chrome bumper.







Then I did the full size spare mod



How she sits 10/10



Got my CB installed. Midland 75. With a 4' antenna mounted on my bed rack.



wired it through the window no issues



Then behind the seats and under the carpet. Plugs into the cigerette port and I can put it in my center consel when I dont need it.



Picked up an air compressor that works with the bed plug.



Did the diff breather mod





Added my plate bumper and all pro skid plate




Installed tuff leds from Amazon




just headlights



headlights with LEDS



Pictures of bed extender




Pictures of bed cover and pop and lock handle




Added husky liners




Got my hi lifted mounted






Got the ski rack on for next weekend





Check it out. Tacomahq.com ran an article on my build on December 4, 2013.
http://www.tacomahq.com/3069/superwhite-2014-trd-offroad/



Got my aftermarket bumps stops installed to go with my Ubolt flip kit. I tried to flex the leaf pack into them with obsticals near my house but couldnt get them to touch.

$85 Energy Suspension 9.9109G 2-1/2" Heavy Duty Bump Stop - Pack of 2

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000CN5GRC/ref=oh_details_o02_s02_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1



Added my transmission, transfer case, and gas tank skids







Photos of my Grill







I got the exhaust routed around the transfer case. Also got a magnaflow and a tip. I had them dump the exhaust with a turn down instead of sticking out the side. Now I just have to get the old skid modified to be flat.











The T case skid is on and flat. No place to get hung up on now.





Moved my CB antenna and mounted my axe.





New ski rack








NEW BAMF LCA skids are on. I got a bestop to. I will take pics of that later today.





Diff Skid



Photos of the new bed cover









Got the hood struts on. These things are great.








Got the new allpro bumper on.





Got my BAMF CB mount and a spare carrier since my spare no longer fits underneath the truck because of the new bumper








Got my relentless lights.









Yes my headlights are on.


ALL NEW SUSPENSION AND TIRES

I upgraded my toytec billy kit to icons with extended travel and icon uca's. I removed the sway bar and got 285/70/17 hankook dynapro MTs.

 

Got an old ALLPRO skid with more clearance



Pictures of the new extended brakes


Rock Lights...





Commuter MOD:
So as some of you know I moved and went from 20 minutes a day in the car to over 2 hours. I was putting well over 3,000 a month on the truck. I just bought my truck but after all the mods 14 mpg in traffic and filling up twice a week just didnt add up. I also hate put highway miles on an offroad rig. I never though I would own a boring white 4 door sedan but if it means I can keep my truck I will drive anything. I picked this 2013 ford focus up with 35,000 miles, leather, sync (entune), and power everthing for $14,000.
It seems like the more you build your rig the worse it does at everthing but offroad, BUT ITS WORTH IT...





Got my cab mount chop done at BAMF. Almost looks like nothing was done. Thats how good he is.


My tent


New transmission skid fron relentless. Im switching my skids from red to blue.

A buddy invited me saturdays to go to pismo. I finished my chores and the wife let me drive down there for the night. It was a great last minute trip. The sand is awesome and I finally got to use my traction boards when I got stuck.







My new BAMF T-Case skid is painted

Skids are now blue





Cow Mountain ohv












Here are some awesome photos of my rig at slickrock.













Got a CBI bumper with a swing out for gass cans, spare, and jack. Now my bed is empty again...



So after working a full day yesterday I drove 230 miles to relentless metal fab in Nevada to get my new bumper. I have ordered 2 more d2 lights and a light bar for it.



and we tested some flex

@allpro LT kit, with Fox resi shocks, trail gear limit straps, Total chaos Cam tab gussets, and Allpro Spindle Gussets

 

man..that truck is nice!!

man..i wish i could just accept car payments and get a new one..but i cant. no way.

 

Nice truck and 4x4 will get you places your prerunner could not go. The preunner was built for the southern climates mostly but hey I would still take 4x4 anywhere

 

First 2014 I have seen so far! Congrats on the new truck.

 

I already had payments so it wasnt to bad.

I cant wait to test it once I get my lift.

Thanks. I bought the first one the dealership got. It was still on the truck and wrapped in plastic when I got to the dealership.

 

Which lot in the bay area did you go to? I'm going to be looking for a 2014 next week but figured I'd have to order one.

 

Walnut creek. Go to the used car lot and ask for John. He is the manager of the used car lot but he sells new ones to. He knows his stuff and isnt full of bullsh!t. I tried getting one at dublin toyota but decided to leave after they got pushy and rude.

 

Thanks.

 

Used my buddies 2012 as a before and I'm the after (work in progress). He likes stock and I hate looking like the rest.


I like the trucks guys! Good stuff and good times. I'm still playing catch though...

 

looks better than mine and you had it for less time.

 

Where did you get the color matched grill?

How easy is/was installation?

 

You truck looks good. I like the rims.

Thanks but I had all the parts on the old truck so I just mostly had to transfer them.

I got the color matched grill on ebay for the TRD sport. I get it today and will install after work. I will let you know how hard it was when Im done.

 

I had the same nightmare 2 years ago.... they almost didn't let me.out the show room

 

It was funny to me. I told them I wanted a white 4x4 trd offroad. They kept trying to convince me to get a white 4x4 sr5 that they had on the lot. But I bought a the wrong truck last time and wasnt going to do that agian. I kept asking them to order what I wanted, but they would not stop badgering me about the sr5. Also, they kept asking me to write down a co- signer on my app. Even though they hadnt pulled my credit. I may be 24 but I own a house on my own and 2 cars with a low debt to income and I've never missed a payment in my life. It was just kind of insulting. He said there was only 1 white 4x4 trd offroad in california. I finally got out of there went on cars.com found it 20 miles away and went there to buy it.

 

Added a windshield decal. What do you think?

 

Glad you like like the truck. I was iffy on the sticker but now I think I like it. Ill get the white grill on tonight and hopefully have time to plasti dip the bages and bed line the bumper. Putting the sliders on Sunday. Truck is comming together. Now if toytec could just ship my Dakar leaf pack I could start off roading.
