Zach's Silver Sky Build (Tacoma number 6, lol)

Have owned six tacomas, built a few, but never a build thread, thought this would be fun as I plan on having this truck for a long time and want to build it right.

Mods as of now:
- front windows tinted to match
- 265/75r16 BFG KO2s
- matte grey SCS Ray10s
- led interior lights
- weathertech floor liners
- Tacoma bed mat
- full size matching spare mod
- differential breather mod
- ready ramp bed extender/ramp for bike (SB problems)

How she sits currently:

Planned/future mods:
- Mobtown full skids
- Mobtown bolt on sliders
- Baja Designs fogs

My previous Tacomas:
2016 SR5 DCLB 4WD

2015 DCLB TRD Sport 4WD

2011 AC SR5 4WD

2008 DCSB Trd Sport Prerunner

 

Beautiful

Will this build thread have TRD PRO grille and black lettering on tail gate only ?

You didn't want the 4Runner Pro wheels from black truck ?

How is going from lb to sb?

 

Hell no to both of those mods.

They wouldn't let me swap them, still upset about that.

So far I love it, so much easier to park, back up, maneuver around, just feels like a mid size truck, my LBs always felt like limos. We will see once MX season rolls around and I gotta throw my bike and gear back there if I still love it more.

 

Bummer about the wheels


Looking forwaRd to a real build

 

Thanks man! Can't wait, the wheels should be here next week. Gotta restore piggy bank for the next few mods but deploying in July so that should help with some extra mod cash and time to buy build parts lol.

 

Congrats on the new truck, but i'm a bit confused. I thought you were regretting your '16?

 

It was love hate, my 15 was awesome. The 16 I loved all the great updates, but despised all the issues I was having, after the 2nd diff replacement and some back and forth with Toyota their solution was helping me get out of it and into a different truck, my 17. If I could put the 4.0 and 5spd in the 3rd gen that would be my perfect taco. Thanks man.

 

I'm sure your '17 will be perfect! Hey, also found you a picture of my ready ramp straps https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/2016-tacoma-bed-extenders.412997/page-5#post-13105653

hope it helps

 

Dude I just bought that ramp after realizing my big ass quad ramp wont really work and after reading your post about it! So I need straps too? Thought it came with some already to go into the tailgate?

 

I know you already have the ramp, but i remember you asking how the straps mouunt. Yeah, it should have come with a strap kit.

 

Thanks man! Don't have ramp in my hand yet. I heard the new ones come 90% assembled, so hopefully not too confusing. SB problems lol. Thanks!

 

we need more babes on bikes pics for this thread... this is coming from @Blackout14 and @AR15xAR10 not me

 

shouldve kept the wheels from the '16 for the '17
