Shed Truck Build Thread

Hey,
My names Elliott, I'm 23 years old and live in the Granite Capitol of the world! I work in the granite industry, hence the name of the build "Shed Truck". I am coming from a 2002 Silverado ECSB Z71 5.3/4l60e 3.73's with 4" lift, 295/70r17 MasterCraft Mxts, brush guard, a part-time camper shell, and some mechanical opponents that were one the way out. I had this truck since I was 16 years old and it made camping trip runs up to the mountains fairly often. Gosh I loved that truck, but it was coming to the point of needing something more reliable, so the search began. I thought of buying new, but at my age insurance rates are out of this world! First a used diesel came to mind as i would be able to haul on the weekends to pay for the truck, but I kept wondering if that would even be practical considering the maintenance costs. Then I found myself looking at the 2012-2014 F150s with the 5.0, but after not being able to find one to my liking I put that to the side and started to look at Tacomas new and used. I knew i would want a DCSB 4x4, but I was totally unfamiliar territory now. So after doing a ton of research on TacomaWorld I narrowed the search down to a second gen with TRD Offroad and low miles. The search started and I found myself looking hard for a white one as they are not as common in y area, but I finally found one in MGM that fit my preferences and had Entune Premium + Nav to boot. So after making a "Big Boy" puchase as they say here is the new to me Shed Truck!

Stock..............For Now

 

I guess you could say my build will be phased out
First Phase was to protect my purchase as my job sends me home fairly dusty and muddy.

So WeatherTech Digifits were in order, along with G-Tek 2.0 door sill protectors, and Cover King Skanda Tactical seat covers in charcoal.

 

hey welcome to TW, this truck should treat you well.

 

How are those seat covers holding up?

 

They're starting to stretch to the seat better (in a good way). As far a durability they work great! Easy to clean too, and they don't hold much dust which is a plus because everything is covered in granite dust at my job.
