    Hey fellas,

    Just wanted to introduce myself. I purchased a 2015 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport Double Cab V6 4x4 in November 2014. I live in Southern California with my wife and work for Mercedes-Benz. No kids yet so it allows me to have a lot of hobbies. So far the mods I have done are the following:

    Interior:
    TRD Pro Shift knob
    WeatherTech Rubber mats
    Full LED interior lights
    20% Tint all around

    Exterior:
    TRD Pro front grill. (Modded the grill so the Toyota letters lights up with an led backlit)
    TRD full catback exhaust
    Factory Toyota roof rails
    Factory Toyota front skid plate
    Factory Toyota rubber bed mat
    Debadged emblems
    WeatherTech Window Visors
    Aftermarket shortie Antenna 12"
    Factory bed extender

    Lighting:
    OEM Style switches from AOB
    52" Curved roof mounted light bar
    32" Amber LED Light bar mounted behind the lower bumper grill
    Rigid Dually front ditch lights Cerakoted Gunmetal Gray
    Rigid Dually rear lights Cerakoted Gunmetal Gray
    LED under hood lighting kit
    LED truck bed led lighting
    8000k HID headlights and foglights

    Performance:
    TRD full catback exhaust
    AFE Cold air intake
    AFE throttle body spacer
    Sprint Booster throttle power controller

    Suspension/Wheels:
    BodyChop
    Bilstein 5100's front and rear (Being replaced)
    Deaver rear mini pack
    SCS Stealth 6 in Gunmetal wrapped in BFG 285/70-17 AT's
    ToyTec Deff drop kit

    Getting installed this weekend:
    King front coilovers with external reservoirs
    King rear shocks with external reservoirs
    ICON Uniball Upper control arms
    ICON front sway bar relocation brackets

    Future mods:
    Looking for sliders to replace the factory running boards
    Maybe supercharger haha

    Thanks for reading. I will take some updated pictures this weekend after the Kings have been installed so you guys can see it currently as some of the pictures are older ones.

    Wife was getting mad since we were running late so was able to snap these pics. The tears didn't come in so will have to install them next week.

    Hey bro, the Deaver mini pack is awesome! I had a block in the rear before and it was a bumpy ride. The deavers absorb a lot and is comfortable. I seriously love the set up I went with which is the Deaver rear with King rear shocks with external reservoirs.
