Casey05Taco Build

Figured it was about time to show what my truck looks like. Been around this site for years now looking more than talking but I guess we can put something together.

Bought the truck used in 08 with 32,xxx. Didnt touch it for a year but then decided I was wanting to make it my own. Im not sure the order of the mods that were done but screw it here it goes.

Started the easy route with some high quality plastidipped rims and added a flowmaster 40 (not pictured):



Doing this is where I can confirm that the mod bug bit me and hast stopped. After that I had some huge help, and many texts, to Jerez. Thanks again man for the help


Dropped in some HID's, which didnt last too long and tackled the BHLM.

 

Awesome truck! Good start so far!

 

Added some corners just to get the yellow out.


Wanted more light in the interior and also new ones for reverse lights so got some lights from csjumper:



Then decided I was sick of the HID's, so picked myself up some retrofits from TRS and threw on the Eyelids:

 

The Satoshi Project. I have so many pictures of this thing I will try and keep them in somewhat of an order:

 

Before I had the cheap toytec leveling kit with the spacers in the aal in the rear, but realized that it was time to step up and start on a real lift. Picked up a set of these in a groupbuy:

also snagged some spidertraxx and got extended brake lines and also extended lug nuts but never put the lug nuts on:



Thanks again for the perfect timing of nfs257 coming to Oklahoma to help me with the install (well Chris literally did the whole damn thing):


How it sat afterwards (yes my driveway was an incline too):

 

Then came the sound deadening project:

 

Other than that I think that is the end of it as of now. Looking to finish my suspension soon. But here is some pictures just for fun that I have




Also want to thank my friend Chris out in Oklahoma who helped me with almost every mod that I did, half of them were his idea to do to my truck. Here is one of his vehicles:

 

To end it for now here is the last picture that I took of my truck as of 9-20-2013



Also bought tires and rims and they will be going on Tuesday the 7th so Ill add come pictures once that is all done.

 

Thank you, she still has a ways to come.

 

Good stuff man! Looks great!

 

Tires and rims installed 10/8/2013 and CMC






Now to figure out what im going to get for my rear lift. Thinking about getting the All pro Expo's but catn decide if ill need the expos or just go with the standards.

 

Picked these up for Christmas, just need some time to instlal them.

 

looks just like my truck did before lol looking good man!!

 

Splitting image. Now you've gone lt.

 

Truck hit 100k last week, not too bad for an 05. Ligt being installed Thursday and Friday if I'm not dumb.

 

Which means its time for a new...

 

Today I removed the sway bar, and my god it feels amazing. Waiting on the ball joints for the Uca's before doing the install

 

Got the new ball joints in so went and started the install. All went smooth but it is a pain in the ass to pull apart the lca from the spindle. Also didnt have time to finish the drivers side, will continue up sunday. Hoping to get the last coil in, the leafs installed with shocks/u bolt flip kit, and the extended brake lines

 

finally finished the driver side and added the top plate spacer to ensure no lean. Start the lift in the rear tuesday.

 

Looks good man!
