New Guy in Las Vegas

Hey everyone,

I am back in the Toyota world from a 3 year love affair withan Ecoboost F150. Was a great truck and ride, but I wanted to go back to something 100% reliable, easy to mod, and great off road.

I traded this in on an F150 ( I actually got 90% value of what I paid for it on the trade) I regret it every time I look back in my photos.

2008 4Runner 4X4 V8, SR5






ARB Front, CBI Rear, Full OME Suspension, P265/70R17 Duratracs, and a Modified TRD Exhaust. Was awesome, and the MPG was not too bad with all the mods at 14 town and 18 highway.

Last month I went back to a 2014 Tacoma Double Cab SB, 4X4, with TRD offroad package, and Nav.

The first day I got it I threw on 265/75R16C Duratracs. Here she is less than a week old.




I have since added a Fab Fours rear bumper. I chose this one so I could keep the Factory Hitch.

I have sitting on the floor of my garage to be installed with in the next couple of weeks:
ARB Front Bumper, Full OME suspension, and Warn 8000# winch.

I will get by Xmas Bolt on sliders and TRD exhaust. Sometime next year I will have a Supercharger installed.

Finally I am going to modify my 4X6 utility trailer next year to a more offroad friendly trailer. I will post that project when it get underway

 

Welcome! Looking good

 

Welcome. Here's the link to our normal hang out/bs

Hello,

I replied in the gas tank armor thread about current goings-on in Vegas about crime. Wanted to make sure you guys see it since it could affect guys with lifts on their trucks.

 

I'll check it out. What are you live in? Seems like most of the guys live in the east side. Me and a few others live in north town near aliante. My wife's Rav was broken into a few months back. She forgot to lock her doors and they got both pairs of our oakleys, garage remote, and her base id. I found the remote in the street a few houses down. They opened the garage but I think they though it might have been too loud and stopped it half way up and ran off. Luckily they didn't take anything out of there. My truck was broken into a few years ago as well. They tore my dash all apart and stole my pioneer double din that I had just installed a month prior along with my gym gear and ipod. I have since installed viper alarms with remote start on both vehicles.

 

I am in the northwest near Ann and Durango.

Only car burgs in my neighborhood have been from people leaving their doors unlocked. If I park a car outside I do not leave a garage remote in them. I have a keypad I use to get into the house.

I have always parked my cars inside the garage.

 

Welcome to TW , from SoCal

nice toys

 

Yeah....too much crap in the garage so we park in the driveway, lol. But we do bring in our garage remotes when we get out of our vehicles. I'm also in the habit of hitting the lock buttons on our key fobs just as a precaution before we go to bed, I check the garage door to make sure it's closed, and then set the house alarm. One day we will get rid of all the crap in the garage (mainly all of the wife's hoarding collection, lol) and park in there.

 

That was a good looking runner! But at least three back in the Toyota family. Welcome to TW from Southeast Virginia!

 

Just fyi, there is a Battle Born Tacoma's truck meet tonight at Al's Donuts Cafe Burgers. Everyone is meeting up at the Terrible Herbst at 6030 centennial center blvd at 745 so we can roll in together to the 702 Truck Meets events that take place every Thursday. The place where the event is happening is at 7280 W Azure Dr 89130.

 

It's mainly all on InstaGram now. I'm probably gonna go to this one cause it's only about 10 min from the house. They're usually on the east side of town or henderson which takes me about an hour to get to so I don't normally go. Plus it's hard to get out more with a baby.

 

Giants are gonna win. Now you know the outcome and can go

 

Durango / Blue Diamond here, I guess I didn't get the memo, I moved to the wrong end of Durango

 

Welcome to TW! Great looking 4Runner and Tacoma!

 

Welcome to the forum, your not that far from where I live on Ann and 95, I'd be willing to help you with the install of the bumper and winch if you need, just Send me a pm on here

 

Thank you for the offer. I have a a mechanic friend that lets me use his shop with him to put my stuff together. A full lift makes everything really easy to put on.

I'm on the fence about the supercharger though. Should I pay the dealer 1000 to install and get warranty or pocket the money and install it myself. I like the idea of full warranty, but I only put 6000 miles a year on a vehicle.

 

Don't know how to answer that one, I don't have supercharger on mine, had a friend give me a complete supercharger and install kit, just didn't want to install it with the motor in y tacoma having over 100,000 miles on it

 

New pics??

 

My build thread has started:
http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-builds/346215-wb880s-2014-dc-trd-off-road-build.html

All of my new pics will be there.

Here are a couple more old 4runner pron pics. These are the last pics of it and has the modified TRD exhaust installed.

The exhaust was for a V6, but sounded great on the V8. I had to be shortened by 2 inches to fit correctly. Awesome guy down at the local Mexican exhaust shop charged me $40 to fit it.

 

Welcome aboard!!!
