    Hi Tacomaworld!

    Below you will find my build on a 2011 MGM 4x4 TRD Sport Tacoma. First I would like to thank Tacomaworld and all of the people that post great advice on the forums. It's because of you guys that I am able to make smart purchases and get the exact look and feel I want. So Here we go:


    Current:

    First Day I got her...

    Added the TRD Badge...

    She must be a dodger fan!!!:woot:

    [​IMG]

    Getting ready for a trip to Glamis!!! Moto Gate works really well...

    [​IMG]

    Quick trip up to the local mountains... (Mt.High)

    [​IMG]

    Throw in some Bike pics... dirtbikes pictured: 08 Crf 250x and 07 WR250f...

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    First Major Mod:

    OME 2.5 inch full suspension lift (No top spacer)
    Pro Comp 7005's
    BFG A/T @ 285/70/R17

    I am extremely happy with this lift and how it looks :) After a butt load of research and looking at pics I finally went with this lift due to its good reviews and well...it looks damn sexy. BFG's were a no brainer and I just love the design of these rims...Not planning on doing any big trail running except for the occasional simple trails and transportation of my dirt bikes to wherever I need to get to...

    At the shop getting prepped... I don't have many tools and I am not too mechanically savvy except for my dirtbike and mountain bike fixes. For this reason I let the pro's handle it...

    [​IMG]

    After the install...

    [​IMG]

    Final product...

    Future Mods:

    - AFE Intake
    - Magnaflow Exhaust
    - Dipp front bumper valence
    - Black out badges
    - Retro fit HID Headlights and fogs

    Thanks for taking a look!!:eek:

    Does your front end tires hit the plastics when you turn by any chance? Thanks. Great Build

    Suuuuuper late response (haven't been on in a while :-/ ) but no aftermarket uca's. Probably will upgrade later. Little bit of rubbing only when in reverse at the end of the turn radius. Need to take it in to trim a bit. Didn't trim enough.
