    Alrighty, I have been lurking throughout these forums for a bit. I finally got to a point where I am ready to start having fun with her!

    I bought the truck during the winter of 2013, she had ~154k miles on her and was 100% stock. No bells, whistles, or anything exciting.

    I don't have a picture of it exactly how I bought it, the closest picture I have is right after I got some new shoes on.

    I am sure im forgetting things, so I will update when they come to mind!

    It is a 2004 4x4 Extended Cab Tacoma. 5SPD, Limited SR5

    List of Mods:

    Interior:

    Sony Touchscreen Head Unit
    Camo dipped dash and door instrument panel thingy
    12" Memphis Subwoofer
    1000w Memphis Amplifier
    Herculined Floor
    Herculined Back Wall
    Herculined XT Cab Door Panels

    Exterior:
    265/65 All Terrain Nitto Terra Grapplers
    Ballistic Jester Wheels
    All Pro Offroad Steel Plate Bumper
    Herculined Bed
    Debadged Tailgate
    Plastidipped Emblems
    Spyder, I think Tail Lights
    Blacked out 3rd Brake Light
    1 Piece headlights with LED strip

    List of Future Mods:

    Armor Rear Bumper w/ tire carrier
    Bed rack w/ tent, jack, shovel
    Rock Sliders
    4" LED Fog Lights
    Light bar on the bumper
    Skid plates
    Bucket Seats with Diff middle console
    Dye Interior Black
    New tires
    Bilstein 5100s all the way around
    3" coils
    AAL/ Dakaris on the rear, unsure which




    Ol' Gal after I bought her and we got some new shoes.

    Not much was done after this, however I did decide to copy one of my good buddies and get some interior pieces hydrodipped.

    I also had some emblems debadged and the emblems that remained painted black.
    Traded in the plastic toolbox that came with the truck for a metal diamond plated one.

    Got ahold of one of my buddies who paints a little bit. We decided to use herculiner for my bed and the floor/back wall of my truck.

    For the Interior part, I took out the XT seats and the little box deal they sit on. My idea was to put 1/2" sheeting for that back wall and make it a badass gun rack.

    sheeting on  backwall for liner.jpg

    After we got it all cleaned up my buddy sprayed the bed, the floor and the piece of sheeting.
    He had some liner left over so we decided to spray the XT Cab door panels with it.
    It turned out alot better than I thought!

    While we were knocking all of this out I decided to go ahead and slap on some 1.5" wheel spacers.

    After this nothing happened to the truck for awhile. Until December of 2015, I was headed over to my buddies house and ended up hitting a deer. No crazy damage to the truck and I didnt take any pictures.

    I ended up needing a new grille, bumper, and driver side fender. Also a plus, it was a 140" buck that I hit! :thumbsup:

    I ordered a new grille and fender, then decided it was the perfect time for a steel front bumper.

    I wasnt sure if i wanted to get it painted or bedlined. I decided to go with the paint first. If it starts scratching or peeling quickly then I will just get it bedlined.

    repainted hood and fender.jpg

    The first things im going to mess with will be adding 4" LED Fog lights and a light bar on the bumper. This is the first vehicle that Ive owned that im comfortable with messing with on my own, after the lights Im wanting to get some new suspension that will give me a little bit of lift as well!

    Any recommendations or questions feel free to holler!

    Unfortunately everything requires a green piece of paper that's super inflated.

    But you gotta pay to play. :anonymous:
