Snowhite "Brought Back to Life" Build/Story Thread

Snowhite · Mar 11, 2024

Hello all fellow TW member..
Been a member on here for almost a month but a guest for a while. Well I finally got myself a 2010 DCSB Super White Tacoma and decided to share my story with you guys. This will be more of s story right now than a build thread since the truck already came with a lot of goodies installed on it.
So the story goes as following....

*This will be somewhat picture heavy*

I purchase this truck off a Copart Auto Auction. This truck was a theft recovery vehicle with no body or frame damage. Only the bumper, headlights and wheels were missing on this beauty. Before the truck got delivered to my house, I purchased the headlights off ebay, bought a super white color bumper and the wheels locally of CL. Since the truck was modified, I assumed the owner was a member of TW. After doing so searching on TW I found the owner of the truck. His username is "Skunk". Some of you guys seen that thread that I replied to it couple days of his truck being stolen. His truck was stolen while he was at the SEMA show. His insurance paid him out total loss before the truck was found. Once the LV PD found the truck and returned it to the insurance company. The insurance company sent the truck to the auction house to recover any cost that it can from it. I was fortunate enough to come across the truck while searching for a Tacoma and I decide to bid on it and see if I can get it. Once the auction was over, I was the highest bidder and I took this truck home.

Mods that were on the truck when I got:
-Fox 2.5" Adjustable coilovers
-All Pro Upper Control Arms
-All Pro Expedition Leaf Pack
-Rear Fox shocks
-All Pro sliders sprayed with bedliner by previous owner
-Rear bumper and bed sprayed with bedliner by previous owner
-Satoshi Grill

What the truck cost me:
-$13,500 winning bid
-$779 in buyer fees
-$360 Transport to my house
-$1,300 in Taxes and Registration
-$200 for bumper
-$110 for headlights with shipping
-$280 for wheels and tires
Total is about 16.5K to get this truck and put back on the road

Now time for some images of before and after

The following images were provided by the auction:

The truck was loaded in the trailer and on its way to me..

Threw some old 4runner wheels so I can move it around my house and what it looks like at my place. Was not disappointed with the buy

The front suspension set up

Finally put the wheels and tires on

Looking good so far

And then I finally pieced it all together and how she stands right now
