Hey all,

Purchased my 2004 Tacoma Xtracab 4x4 TRD Package back in Dec. 2015 after almost a year of looking for something relatively rust free and stick shift. Saw the ad for this and jumped on it. Looking back I am beyond happy with the investment because this truck has been great and has taught me a lot so far..

Plans:

I figured since I'll be keeping it (hopefully) for a while I would start a build thread. My plans are to make it a FUNCTIONAL daily driver and roadtrip/overland vehicle. I have a Tepui Kukenam RTT from my previous car that I plan to put on it.

-ARB Front Bumper & Warn M8000 Winch
-OME 3" Suspension Kit with 882 Front Coils
-Skid Plate and Slider (still deciding on brands)
-Relentless Fabrication Rear Bumper and Tire Carrier
-ARE/Leer Bed Cap
-CB Radio



Truck when I purchased it was 100% stock minus the vinyl tonneau cover for the bed and side steps. It had 99,700miles. First thing I did when I took it home was remove those side steps since I'm no grandpa :

Congrats! Nice truck should put this thread in the 1st Gen build section.

 

Oh no! I'm sorry didn't know we had a build section! Thanks

 

Are those side steps OEM Toyota? I have a thing for short/chunky gals and might want to buy them if you're interested in selling

 

Don't think they're OEM but they are one of the better side steps I've ever seen. Very secure and somehow not rusty. They're sutting in my garage so I guess they're for sale lol

 

beautiful truck
