History of Jennah, I bought here used with 120K miles while I was at Tech School for ATC in Mississippi. First car and the only vehicle I ever see myself owning. Kinda lengthy and pic heavy.

First ever picture taken of my girl






My parents bought my a tri-fold bed cover as a tech school graduation gift, ended up selling it later on down the road since I never used it




First order of business was a lift and tires. I went with a Rough Country 3" Spacer Lift, All Pro 2' Wheel Spacers, and 265/75R16 Nitto Terra Grapplers

Before:


After:





Got her muddy a couple times having fun wheeling on the Eglin Ranges





New wheels! set of 4 Mickey Thomson 16x8 Classic III Black Wheels with 0 offset and 4.5" Back Spacing






I removed the center caps the next day as I hated them






Satoshi mod with an 8mm horizontal billet grille insert and I derpd the grille the next day






Started the De-Chrome process, Rusto bed lined my fender flares and my chrome rear bumper






Removed the factory running boards, installed a cheap Radio Shack CB and put on TRD All Terrain bedside decals







First offroad meet!







First BIG offroad meetup at Citrus in Central Florida






BHLM, derpd eyelids, and lower valence






Went and did the full debadge of the truck and then dipped the gas door and a stripe on the hood







Not long after my big Citrus meet came my entire tax return and then some and blew it all on a midtravel setup to get rid of the spacer lift






Not too long after getting the midtravel on I got the coilovers raised to level the front out with the rear





I ran like this for the longest time







Maxtracs baby!!! One of the perks of being 2wd hehehe and yes....it looked ridiculous when first installed, I got them lowered the next weekend lol. Also removed the front wheel spacers for the time being and dipped my roof black





after being lowered






Color match time!!!!






Took my headlights off again to clean the lenses...for the 2nd time and color match the derp eyelids. Also bought a winch to get ready for a special gift to myself and I removed the rest of the derp off the front end to make a nice clean color match look









got the bumper in baby! SOS Offroad Concepts Hybrid with headlight guards and custom Stinger of course I got the winch installed as well to get put on the truck






snagged a black skewpd hood off a buddy for an awesome trade for my factory bumper








installed my front wheel spacers again for the prerunner stance







now the real fun comes haha, picked up a newish set of OEM headlights, swapped the bezels, and bought a real set of TREX eyelids and color matched them. Also got some sweet letters off Eddy from SOS from whoring my truck out so much haha








made the trip from Florida up to South Carolina up to Eddy's shop to get bigger headlight guards on the bumper. Looks so much better with the bigger ones on






for the longest time I ran with these tiny 265s and I FINALLY after almost 2 years with those tiny things on......I made the jump.....to a set of 315/75R16 Toyo Xtreme AT2s.....I fucking love them. At some point I also purchased a set of Ebay LED tailights and blacked out 3rd brake light.









Bought myself a fancy DSLR to take photos with, these 35s look awesome






Made the next step to prerunner, bought myself a set of Duraflex front fenders, pretty slick id have to say. I had to trim a piece out of them to accommodate the headlight guards. Took the bedsides off as I was assuming I was going to purchase the bedsides soon. Then I found out about $300 in shipping I wasnt expecting









and now we are at the present, I trimmed up the bedsides 2ish weeks ago and threw them back on until I can purchase the rear glass. She's getting there....not where I want her yet...but she's looking DAMN good lol







and that....my friends....is the history of my truck....so far. Until the next mod!

Alright guys, pictures have been resized (except the DSLR shots) and all videos of right now have been added, Enjoy! glad I finally got this redone, im happier with everything be more organized

 

Awesome build! Hope to be there one day!

 

Ummm. Okay v2. V3 will be glass bedsides and v4 will be taking them back off huh.

 

Uhm no....I remade this because I didn't like how everything was all over the place. I wanted everything to be more organized.....

 

Thanks man! It's been a long journey modding mine out haha

 

How much lift do you have the front shocks?

 

im honestly not too sure how much I have. I think my ICONs are set to about 0.5-1" of lift...I think. my total lift is somewhere near 5-6" of lift....I think...lol

 

some photo whorage since I havent done anything at all since ive been occupied with my other toy lol

 

got a whole new Cb setup on order! Time to get rid of this half assed Radio Shack setup so i can finally actually talk to people

- Cobra 25 LTD
- 5 foot black FireStik II
- 18ft Coax cable
- heavy duty spring thingy

 

new CB came in today! got it all installed and just need to get it tuned now, cant wait to see how it is compared to my shit setup before

 

Good stuff

 

thanks!

 

Where in Eglin do you ride? I have half my family in Niceville in Boggy Bayou.

 

oh god...there's so much to actually go out to...usually when we go out it's just pick a spot on the map and go there lol

 

I always thought it was off-limits. Maybe ill have to sneak my grandfathers Tacoma out there and rip it.

 

oh no, oh no lol, there is so much that is open to the public, just gotta have the range permit (which can be found at the Jackson Guard) and just make sure to stay out of the closed areas on the daily access map

 

My uncle is the manager at Jackson Guard Ill have to get him to take me around because im sure he knows where all the good stuff is.
