sweet truck!!!

 

So it began as a basic truck, and started with a lift, and so on...

As an avid hunter I always ran her on old fire and logging roads


Playing with a little flex of some random rocks.





Then the pin striping came

And so the mods came...
First few were the bed lights, because you couldn't see what was happening at 4am.

I also upgraded my reverse lights and added my own decorations on the tailgate.

Also relocated my Towing pins

 

One day I found moisture in my brake lights, and I've always loved the new technology of leds, and that was my next jump.



I also got the free limited warranty from toyota for my headlights too.


At the same time I was adding my ditch brackets from Caliraised

 

Then I added an exhaust because it would keep getting caught in stuff, the idea was to chop it before the rear axle.

Like this...
Just kidding
I welded it like this

Compared to the stock setup

 

So I got caught up in spending money with the guys on here also... darn you tacoma world!

My old setup

Tacoma Pros Fuse relay box

Iggy switch panel

And the oem switches I added

 

My idler bearing were going out so I started to replace them all.

 

Then I got a new toy I just mounted temp.

Then came the big toys


Playing with the sliders making sure it works.
Then I started with the Hilift Shovel mount.

 

Awesome build. Really looking forward to see where it goes

 

More stuff be showing up at the same time too

 

We got a dune run comming up so I made my own flag

 

Is it installed yet?

 

What is ? My grill ? Yeah it has been, I've just been trying to post it all in chronological order. Go see the first post for most current pics.

 

This was last sunday.

 

So I've been gone and away from my thread for awhile..

So here's that dune run I was talking about with fellow tw guys.

 

Forgot to mention I built my front bumper also..
And there was a car show later that day with local tacoma world guys so I went half finished...

 

As I was setting up for the beach, my first trip was to the rocks..
