Scoob's Wanna-be Overland Build

I've had this truck for upwards of three years and I've managed not to dump every penny I have into mods, until now! I've finally found a way to make money for truck parts (aside from my daily job), so the fun begins!

Build is a 2002 DCSB TRDOR 2.7 2WD Tacoma in Jade Mica. I do have plans to swap the drivetrain out for 4WD. That's going to require some money though! I currently daily this truck and occasionally I have time to go hit the trails. Mainly Citrus WMA, just above Tampa.

Current mileage: 163,xxx

@WildLand Now to get a perfect picture for you.

 

The second picture in the series would be a cool 'just background' sig with the truck coming out of it.

Just shoot me some pics when ready!

 

Toolbox comes back from powder coat tomorrow! Need opinions on what to buy next!

 

Subbed.
I have the same exact truck except in black.
Hell....they could have came off the assembly line pretty close together.

You realize its kind of a rare truck right?

 

Indeed I do! I've never actually found another in person.

 

Here's my build if you want to check it out.
Bought it brand new back in late 2001.

I only have met 2 other people on this site that had one. One was a 2001 and the other a 2004, I think. One was red.

 

Subbed your thread! Will definitely be following that. I need to keep in contact with you too. Lol. I'll have plenty of questions.

 

Anytime man, anytime.
Looking forward to the progress in your build.

 

Toolbox is finished thanks to my friend Luis! With the awesome work Luis does, we built this from a sheet of aluminum.

 

I like it!
Mine has the angles instead of the square bottom. That looks much deeper.

 

That's what my other one is (it's upstairs now waiting for someone to buy it). This one we built

 

Fender Flares are re-painted and fixing to go back on in the next few days. Ordered 200 clips on Amazon. So if anyone needs a set for their truck, shoot me a few bucks and ill get some on your way.

 

Got almost the same truck, looking forward to fixing it up! Truck looks great man!

 

Another 3rzfe! We're a GANG!!!
3 2002 doublecab 2.7's.

 

This is great! Finding more of our kind! Baha.

 

Mines been at toyota since monday.
Getting some pretty sweet upgrades.

 

Going to get shocks soon... would Bilstein be your suggestion?

 

Stock height? yea, some billy's would be nice. Havn't had a chance to look at your truck. Do you have a build thread?
