Nielsen23-New Frame Build-Double Cab

I've had a 2011 Tacoma access cab, 2014 Tacoma double cab, and a 2014 Tundra that I bought to tow a 7x14 enclosed trailer.
I finally found the Tacoma that I was looking for. It's a 2003 Tacoma double cab 4x4 3.5liter.
As we all know there are horror stories with these Tacoma's frames so the frame is my number once concern since I live in Northern Michigan. This one got traded in at the dealership that I work at and it was needing the frame recall because it was about to break in half. It also came in with NO BRAKES. I knew exactly what it would be like since I had driven a couple of the 1st gen tacomas before.


Needless to say I got a new frame on it and it had 155,xxx miles on it. I put new rotors, calipers, and pads on the front and when the frame was replaces, they threw new lines to the rear and a new proportionate valve for the rear too.

Ive been on TW for quite some time and as we all know, there is a mod list for each person.

Ive had the cheap spacer lifts before and ive had 5100's and an AAL in the rear. I was always looking for more performance out of my previous suspensions.

Exterior Mods:
Painted the Toyota emblem black on the grille.
In the process of building a front and rear bumper.
Front Stainless steel Skidplate from 22REthan
Morimoto retrofit from TheRetroFitSource
Relocate blinkers next to headlights

Interior Mods:

Front Suspension:
Total chaos uca's
King 2.5 coilovers

Rear Suspension:
King 2.5 shock with resi's



This will be an ongoing build

 

Sub'd. Looks awesome buddy

 

Put on my arb bumper and 9,000 lb winch over the weekend. What a difference that makes!
