My old truck (hooked my brake line driving out of the field that day...)


The day I bought my Tacoma


My first mods K&N and Bull Bar





Installing the 5100's


Before I set the shocks back down to .85

 

Build update:

My truck after setting the 5100's back to the top perch in the front, AAL with TSB in back, and 33" Wrangler MT/R's



Getting the tires put on



Had to test out the tires in a fallow field

 

Nice build

 

Thanks man, you got a sweet set up on your truck. I wanna work towards a LT suspension when I get the cash.

 

I set them back up to the top when I put the tires on. They only rub when I backup and turn so I gotta trim some off the plastic and I think it should stop. Full flex it rubs a little.

 

Thanks man. Ya that's what I did. Its a lot of dough but worth every penny.

 

Looks killer. It's nice to see a Tacoma that isn't over-accessorized.

 

Stole the driving lights off my old truck today

 

Spent the last weekend workin on her BHLM, KC highlights, fogs, and a Hide-a-way pov strobe kit and Carson siren. I'll post a vid of the strobes when I get a chance.

 

No regear? How's it drive? I'm planning on 33's and bilsteins For mine too eventually. Looks just like mine otherwise. At least aside from the relentless bumper I've got.

 

Tough looking truck.

 

It's still got stock gear ratios. It drives good, obvious it's a little more sluggish since I put the 33's on but nothing too bad. The only engine mod I've done is a K&N CAI (to me it seems to have helped with the throttle response and maybe some hp gain, some guys swear CAI is a waist of money though), but I think an OEM 2.7 should be able to handle the tires just fine. I do love the bilsteins, coil overs are an easy install if you've got a decent spring compressor not the cheap two piece all-thread kind.

 

Thanks man! Sweet lookin truck you got by the way. Where'd you get your led strips for your bed and hood lights?

 

Thanks. Local shop.

 

Been a while since I've given an update.

Woke up to a note on my windshield...

My truck:



Her explorer:



Insurance bought me a new Armortech hybrid bumper



Minor altercations to the front of the truck...

 

Screwing around...



Baby truck! haha



Old pic I just found...

 

Haha just spent a few minutes looking at your truck and thinking "those are 05-11 headlights...but build says 2012". Then I saw your name . Sweet truck man!

 

Thanks man! Still have a lot of work to do on her though...

 

What back spacing do you have on your wheels so that they fit without rubbing I heard most 16" wheels don't fit
