cgnsa's build thread!

So, I guess I have enough "mods" to do this now! I have always wanted one since I found out about this site.

Here is my truck the day I got it. Preowned 2010 Toyota Tacoma Prerunner. April, 2012



First "mod" Blacked out grille"





Had to get wheels and tires!
Tires - 265/70R/16 Nitto Terra Grappler All Terains
Wheels - 16.5x8 Level 8 Trackers

Next were the steps-
N Fab Side Steps



Paint was going bad on my grille... had to replace it. Decided to go with a 2013 Honeycomb color matched grille.


Had a nice crunch in my stock bumper from a low pole in a parking lot... so I decided to replace it with a steel bumper. Thanks to SingleCabGuy, I bought a bumper off of him and coated it with some bed lining.


Installed on the truck, thanks to my brother and Lucariorunner

Stock bumper off

My poor dog got scared!
Bumper on!

Tinted Windows, dont really have any good pictures.. hard to tell, does not make a big difference as I was only legally allowed 25%..

Only 2wd...

Big thanks to Robert! (Lucariorunner)

If you have made it this far, thanks for checking it out! Hope y'all have enjoyed looking at it as much as I have enjoyed working on it! Big shout out to Lucariorunner (Robert) and Singlecabguy (Kase)!!

 

Looks great man!

Did you actually use paint or plasti-dip on the grill. I'm liking the black grill and planning on going with plasti-dip on the grill and chrome surround.

 

Nice build.

 

Thanks man! I used a Krylon brand of spray paint for plastic. Unfortunately it did not hold up very well.. So thats why I bought a color matched grill from Autoanything.com

 

Thanks so much man!! I could not have done it without you!

 

Lift looks nice. So when are we gonna boost this thing?

 

Haha! Thanks man, I think should get it aligned properly first!
