GeoTackos (Old Kid) Build!

LOL

I was not planning any major revisions, but I got the fever to do some minor stuff!


- New Tires - Toyos Open Country A/T (Great Highway Tires, Ultra Quiet great on snow)


- Roof Rack
- Custom made Bed Cage for 240LB Sand Bag Weight (It is icy up here!!)


- EGR Hood Deflector (Great Unit, it does not touch the hood*)
- AVS Window Deflectors (They fit and it took 2 minutes to put them on)

Will the deflectors I increase my MPG now??


* The EGR plastic clips turn as you tighten the screws; had to use 13 MM Flat thin wrench to keep them from moving. Otherwise the installtion would have taken 2 minutes.

And let's NOT Forget the Tail Gate Clamp Mod (but I ordered the Bully Tailgate Lock) which I will add on top of the clamp. Up here the thieves are equipped with 5/16, screwdrivers, so the clamp alone may not be good enough.


But thanks to all the contributors here for my BUILD START......


I just Improved my Tail gate Lock; I originally placed the clamp as shown bya fellow Tacoman here. Then I purchased the Bully Tail Gate lock, but it did not work well by itself because it was too big and I could have shaken the tailgate off.

So I placed the original clamp first, then I added the Bully and I locked it on top of the screw of the clamp. This way, you can not place a screwscriver to open the clamp!
See Picture of the New Improved tailgate Lock:

 

when did thieves get smart and bring tools?
o and nice truck

 

Where did you find that bull bar?

I am debating on which color to go for?
I am not planning to paint my chrome grille like you did, although I tink it looks great, so the black bull bar may clash with the chrome grille??

 

I saw some of your photos with the black bull bar and it has 2 holes on the top for lights I assume. Which brand is that?

 

umm not sure it was a cheapo from e bay like $85 delivered new

not a big fan of them they do more damage than there worth if you plan on off roading.....
