EastTexasDeerHunter 09 taco build

I have lurked around TW for a few years and finally created a username and decided to make a little build thread. What I have in mind for my truck may not be a big bad Baja rock crawling Cali style tacoma you see on here, but I thought it might be a cool little build thread. I mainly drive this truck on the weekends and I do all of my hunting and year round hunting land maintenance with my Tacoma.

This is the day I brought it home in August of 2014. It's a 2009 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road bone stock with 70,000 miles.

 

first thing I did was find a color matched grill to replace the stock chrome one. (I dont know why this picture is sideways I tried to fix it but not worth a shit on a computer)

 

Added window tint, spydertrax wheel spacers, 285/75/16 BFG Mud Terrain KM2s and was ballin on a budget so a Tuff Country 2" coil spacer lift in the front and rear blocks in the back was how I lifted it (Obviously a terrible lift and rides like dog shit, I do not recommend this lift)

 

The stock radio was a little outdated so I added a JVC touchscreen with bluetooth hands free

Tinted my tail lights and brake light with Night Shades in a rattle can and plasti dipped my emblems black
added black halo headlights

removed the ugly gold looking pinstrip with the 3m Adhesive remover wheel and slapped some black TRD OR decals on the back

 

Found some 2016 stock TRD OR wheels from a fellow TW member and mounted those bad boys up and I think it really looks good on a 2nd Gen

 

Got up with Billy at BruteForceFab and bought a rear standard bumper from him. Billy is a cool guy and does great work!

I thought it turned out nice!

My next mods will definitely be a front bumper (either a pelfreybilt or BF front plate winch bumper) Winch, Lightbar mounted on or in the bumper, and for god's sake a new REAL front suspension. Anything besides this shitty rough riding Tuff Country spacer lift. I am looking to get a 3" Toytec Boss lift kit. Anyways that is where I'm stuck at guys hope yall enjoy my little build!
