Need to get stronger engine mounts (high speed + high power....)
Might need new CV's
Might put stock intake back on... (Cross that bridge in time)
I plan on installing everything, to give me something to do. (Satisfaction of doing it myself) (With your help, haha)

Estimated $20,000 dollar project...Worth it? Well of course!!!
Little DIY Projects- www.tacomaworld.com/forum/1st-gen-t...y-how-thread-compiled-list-helpful-links.html
Either keep old stock parts (probably not), or sell them.

Pictures of the mods that I will be purchasing, on random tacomaworld peoples posts. I gathered a collection to have a rough idea.

Pictures are on a later post (2 posts later)

 

you got some big plans where you getting all this cash?

 

Well I'll be a Petroleum Engineer here shortly and they are known to have deep pockets

 

nice when should i bring my truck over?

 

Whenever you want once my BUILD is done haha. If you are looking to compare that is... I have millions of automobile projects in mind. I'm halfway working on restoring a '75 Ford Bronco with my father.

 

Like I said, I gathered random pictures of trucks with the mods I want.

 

expect $10K minimum for an lt build. Not trying to discourage but just sayin haha its worth it.

Edit: didn't see the supercharger, might as well budget 13k

Edit: you budgeted 20k.. even better.

 

oh shit the projects are endless over here lol

 

Well, this isn't gonna be an over-night-build haha. I'm currently a college kid who is seeking a job, so I can start with minor mods. My soonest mod will be me Seafoam-ing my engine, via brake booster line & gas tank. My first actual mod will be O2 simulator and catback exhaust system, by Halloween hopefully!

 

haha, I'm usually known to get real into a project for a few weeks then my ADD kicks in, then I move to a new project and completely forget to finish the first one. It's a disease really...

I got to thinking about another project I have yet to finish haha http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXXEc53vg-s&feature=youtube_gdata

 

SICK truck by the way! If your signature picture is your truck...

 

yep thats my truck haha thanks man. It really is a process to build one of these trucks and it is no fun/way too expensive to build it over night. If you break down the costs of stuff like you have in the original post and keep setting small goals for yourself it is very achievable. It is so rewarding to build it step by step like you mentioned because you see improvement so clearly every time you take it too the dirt. I am in college too, working at a bike shop and on the grind to get parts I need.

 

That's bad ass you work at a bike shop! Dirtbikes or like roadbikes?

I will probably do the suspension last mainly because I'm gonna spend the 6 grand to get the best suspension setup, if not, I won't be happy haha

 

Arts Cyclery, its a bicycle shop. We sell high end mountain and road bike. No walmart grade bikes. Take your time and don't cut corners on the build, the end result is worth it.

 

What kind of headlights are those? Really cool looking
