Corbit's slow 03 build

as it says in the title heres my slow 03 DC Prerunner build

as she sits today: 3/27/2014


2003 tacoma doublecab
3.4L
trail gear low profile bumper
custom tire gate
mcneil racing fenders
285/75/16 all season tires

Still alot to come!!!!

 

she started out stock an first thing i did was buy a used ARB bumper an put some lights from a jeep i had on it an painted my rims black

 

Then i got tired of that look an decided i wanted a tube bumper! so rode around like this for a couple weeks

 

the trail gear bumper seemed pretty simple an looked good so i went with that. pretty good price too

 

then painted it black


then just cleaned up some of the plastic parts


then painted all the silverish parts underneath the bumper


after paint:

 

dont hate on my paper towel method!

 

then i got the itch for some plasti-dip!


Afterwards

 

rode around with it like this for a good while! till i got some extra cash!

 

was up in nashville for a couple weeks getting my A&P license so it sat parked here for a bit


got bored sitting in the hotel room so i was messing around with a pic of the truck from around when i first got it lol


bought some wheel spacers when i got home!


installed them an also just bought some coil spacers for like $10 off here for the time being till i save up $$$$ for a big suspension makeover

 

next i bought some fiberglass fenders from a member on here


painted the inside of the fenders an thanks to my dog for pissing all over my tires.....


finished product!

 

my mechanic assistant

 

bought a custom tiregate from a member! pretty great product! I LOVE IT!

 

just some shots of the truck




it snowed here an alabama basically shut down haha




this poor guy didnt have a chance

 

still got a bunch of stuff planned for the truck. i got some streetlocks ordered which theyre on the back order list an a 50'' led bar collecting dust in my room. probably gonna get a rack of some sort made an mount it to that. but there are some big things coming to the truck this spring!! Stay Tuned!!

 

Truck looks sick so far man! I just built a bed rack that I'll put a LED bar on top. What kind of wheel spacers did you buy?

 

They're 2" spacers off of racerforless.com

 

What UWS box is that?

 

don't know exactlywhich one, it was on there when I bought the truck

 

small update: made a skid plate for my front bumper an got a call today an was told my rims will be here thursday!


finished
