Ty's 2013 Barcelona Dbl Cab on-going build

2013 Taco, 4WD V6 base model more or less. I got it back in 2013 because my Honda Prelude finally died on me.





As for the modifications I've put in it so far;

Window Tint
Debadged all Emblems except for the front sombrero
Keyless Entry
Husky All weather floormats
Westin Trax Black Nerf Bars
5.5" RCD Drop Bracket Lift with Bilstein 5100's in front and back

Fuel Anthracite Rims
33" Cooper Discoverer S/T
Stuck Dodge Challenger Emblems on the back tailgate (Taken off my dads 2011 Challenger after he passed away last year)


After this next deployment I'll be getting a Fab Fours Tacoma front bumper with winch and rhino lining truck rockers on the sides, poorly photoshopped pictureup next to show what it should look like.

I plan on getting an offroad bumper next, still trying to decide on which I like better, Fab Fours or Demello.

I've loved the truck since I got it, the lift kit was a nice addition as well. I'm down to about 17mpg with the lift and tires but the ride is smoother than factory suspension, doesnt rattle in the least, no matter the speed even at 100mph+. All in all it's cost about $6,500 so far.

 

Welcome!

Nice Truck! What did you do for the keyless entry, did you go aftermarket?

 

Yup, aftermarket

 

As it currently sits;

I was bored one day and decided to paint a TRD emblem on the front two mudflaps, the rear two I left saying 4x4.

Removing them was easy, just a couple bolts/screws/push pins. Then I sketched out and cut a template to spray over.

Then covered the edges and went to town with a rattle can.

Cleaned it up a little afterwards and then put them back on.

Finally got the Demello bumper in the mail, a friend of mine and I spent two hours installing it, the aluminum crash bar was the hardest part as they must have mounted it on there with the jaws of life. It didn't help that two of the bolts that were tack welded onto it were bent outwards preventing the bumper from easily being placed on. We bent them back and secured it.

I'm going to order rock lights here soon and wire them myself, still researching on how that process is done.

 

Also, small things that have been done to it include removing the factory front bushings with aftermarket ones (significantly more durable)

Rocker armour side panels for the lower side of the truck which is that black stripe to prevent chipping.

Looking good!

 

Looks GREAT. Love the seat covers. Are you happy with them?
