Looks good! Really like those wheels.

 

@tcBob can you move this to the right section lol thanks!

 

Cool to see another highschooler! Trucks looking good

 

Sub! I started my build in high school too

 

my previous setup was 4 x 8" pioneer shallows powered by an arc audio 1000w amp with Sony 3 way speakers (not sure which ones had speakers for a while) now I have 2 x 10" pioneer shallows and I cut out the crossbar behind the rear seat (was just for car seats) and upgraded to a jl 1000w amp with 4g wiring I believe also, I use a kenwood touchscreen deck I believe it's the ddx372bt

 

after months of searching my buddy finally picked up a 2003 4x4 Tacoma TRD and here we are Saturday at homecoming

 

Truck is looking sweet! High schoolers unite!!

 

thanks man, she's slowly coming together the way I want it

 

Jealous of that sub set up. I'd love one behind my rear seats, but then I'd have no where to put the crap I keep back there...

 

yeah I feel you, I just have to remember to bring the things I need now when I go off-roading but idk what I would without my bass

 

Probably have normal hearing

 

I work at a car wash so my hearing went away the day I took the job ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

Fuck it then haha. I'm liking the trump flag btw

 

Old man emu leaf packs came in yesterday. ended up cutting the bolt off the rear bushing on the old pack and ordered some new bolts last night. Truck is on jacks till the weekend

 

I had to do the exact same thing. Build is lookingoing good. And good choice on the suspension set up.

 

thanks man! i'm calling all my local suspension/toyota shops in my town and no one has that damn bolt!

 

I got lucky, I found one at a dealer and they had to order another. Again I got lucky on that and they got it in in less than 12 hours.

 

yeah i'm hoping dezfabtoyz has a pair for me

 

picked up a pair of bolts from a local shop that makes leaf packs for tractors. it's finer threading but it'll do the job
