    A few people have asked, so I figured I would post a build thread on my Tacoma. Well it all started in September of 2006 when I bought a 2006 TRD Off Road double cab. I wanted to start with a mild small lift and maybe add some slightly over sized tires for occasional hunting trips. I have learned a lot along the way and I never dreamed my truck would turn out the way it has. Overall I could not be more happy. This truck seems like a never ending project thanks to all of the wonderful people on TW who continue to post creative mod ideas and extensive reviews. I hope you guys enjoy all of the pictures and please let me know if you have any questions.


    How I Left her:

    IMAG0091_67e64217d91ae3b356e5f452091a1ffe3c3fecf0.jpg

    Only 3,000 miles and on our first hunting trip:
    IMG_1581_946b1fb3932212c64f753041790a9408637857a5.jpg

    IMG_1568_79a738746011bda797472753b6476a42c1e1b678.jpg

    My first mod was to add PIAA Super White bulbs in the fogs (modified 9005 bulb) and headlights.
    IMG_0003Edited_cdb1f6c6da7e6725006647b67deee659f3b92325.jpg

    The second mod was to add a Hi-Lift jack:
    IMG_0004_20baf83d10556014be69f09ba7a52c20c2f78dc6.jpg

    IMG_0010_52d9f5ba60b9826ab2e45044be32043eceb24216.jpg

    My black jack rusted up really fast after a cold salty winter so I sold it and replaced it with an upgraded version.
    IMG_0018_0da86d1c98e2fabbf1517a92e3fd8afdf54c01c9.jpg

    Then I added a bed mat and base for the jack:
    IMG_0035_e35fe552dd076667b884b255c1e7845defa36c2a.jpg

    Bolted down the bed mat with stainless steel hardware to help prevent theft:

    IMG_0029_b9d112121733ac50ef338dd466f15bb72527c318.jpg

    Then I decided I had enough of the crappy 3 leaf springs and got the TSB done. After several unsuccessful attempts, I went to the dealer with a load and showed them this: (They finally agreed to replace the springs)

    IMG_0122_04ece579062e10531158b3b420dd3dc0ec9d25a1.jpg

    I wanted to lift the front to level the truck out a little and installed a Daystar 1.75" level kit. I hated the ride and replaced them within two weeks.

    IMG_0016a-1_4ce8cd0163bf11b70fefc001dc009d22c3667b38.jpg

    To fix the crappy ride I then added a set of 5100s and set the front at .85" and tinted the front windows 20% to match the rear glass:

    IMG_0005-2_8b0ba4565d5ef932cd8989dcd9d4f8100d3bccf8.jpg

    After hooking up with ToyTec my third lift was a 5100 adjustable coilover, Light Racing UCAs, and SuperSprings in the rear:

    These chicks are really digging my truck (ha ha ha):
    PhotoFunia_1056f_49b7b09510de0c1a6da918098c462c6d507c9ec3.jpg

    The SuperSprings were great but they made a lot of clanking noise and really did not flex that well, so I had Doug make me a set of custom AALs with a little more arch on one side:

    Seeking to free up some rotational mass and help the engine rev a little quicker I picked up a complete set of NST pulleys:

    After having a log jump up and smash into the rocker panel of my truck, I decided to add a set of Shrockworks sliders:

    Thank you! :)
    Thank you Chris. :)

    I am considering OME spring packs with an OME AAL and maybe a topper so we can put the dog and gear in the back where they will stay secure and dry. (I swear it rains on every trip to NC and our gear/bags always seems to get wet even when covered). It would be nice to have a secure dry place to keep everything.

    I noticed you added the hood scoop, or did you replace the entire hood?

    Yes, I met up with a guy who had a TRD sport and wanted to trade hoods, so he took my plain hood and I gladly accepted his scooped hood. (FREE mods are the greatest!)

    Thanks for the kind words. :)

    how have the pulleys performed?

    i had a set on my last truck ('98 dakota) and they sucked an Optima dry in 6 months.
    wasn't spinning the alternator fast enough i guess.

    you see any voltage drops?

    The pulleys are the same size as factory ones so there is no under drive. The main difference between the NST pulleys and the stock pulleys is simply the weight. I did notice that the engine revs faster and shifts smoother too. It also down shifts faster and at a lower rpm. Adversely, the loss of rotational mass seems to slightly hinder highway cruising in that it takes a little more fuel to keep the truck's speed sustained. Unfortunately I don't have a dyno to provide numbers on my feedback. I have to rely on my trusty butt dyno. :) No, voltage drops so far. :thumbsup:

    Thank you :)

    + Thank you :)

    Stock. Purchased 2/17/19. Cement!
    Indeed, one of the nicest builds. It's almost worthy of a congrats all over again. Your truck looks nothing like it did when new. Haha. Nice job!
