TacoMeSir's Appalachian Build

Hey Fellas. I'm newbie here as you can probably tell. I’ve been perusing TW for months now and finally working on my build. This is my first time building anything like this and definitely my first Tacoma. Any input is much appreciated on do’s and don’ts. Always wanted a toy like this. I'm setting up my truck for more rocky stuff than dealing with mud down here in GA. I'm not that big into mud'n. These are my first mods that have been ordered. Bumper and Sliders have landed. Just got done with prep/paint work (Bumper & Sliders). Pics to follow of the install.

One hell of a way to start off modding your truck man. Cant wait to see it after the install.

 

Thanks Sean! I must say, Tyler over at Pelfreybilt is the man. He helped me spec out what I needed and dealt with me asking him questions non stop. That to me earned my business for the duration of this build out. I also have to give credit to the guys over at Downsouth Motorsports for making sure I had everything I needed for this build suspension wise. Micah knows his stuff over there. I'll be putting all the armor under her in a couple months. This initial build up has put the CFO (wife) over the edge and I gotta lay low for a couple months.

 

Subbed. Can't wait to see where this goes!

 

Haha well i wouldn't imagine why??

 

Yeah, I figured I am going to get yelled at either way so might as well make it count the first time.

 

Haha thats the way to go, might as well do it right the first time and not have to worry about it in the future. Wish i would have done it right to begin with.

 

Coilovers showed up today.

 

totally f'ing jelly!!!

 

Feel free to swing by our shop if you're considering retrofitting your headlights. We're just right down 85 from you!

 

Liking the direction this is going!

 

I've been thinking about this for sure. How does this process go? Do I have to leave the truck with you?

 

Thanks man! I'm ready to get it all installed, it's kill'n me seeing it siting in the dining room in limbo. This weekend if everything falls into place.

 

Are you installing it yourself?

 

A buddy and I are doing it this weekend yes. Should be interesting as we have been known to break for a beer or two. It could turn into an all weekend gig.

 

Subbed, right down the road from y'all when I'm in sumter... lol i think

Looking good man

 

Sub'd! Excited to see how this turns out. Hell of a way to start

 

Thanks man! I know exactly where Sumter is, I race the Sumter Enduro out there on occasion and the Burnt Gin Hare Scramble. That sand is killer. We'll have to meet up sometime!

 

Thanks man!
