I like my Tacoma’s like I like my coffee... strong and black

Window tint

 

Aye shiny

 

First step..... get rid of the chrome lol

 

NICE man! Super clean whip.

 

Thanks man I’m loving it so far!

 

idk who could buy a tacoma and not love it! I just recently picked one up as well. Wanting to get some door dings taken out and then get her paint corrected and then ceramic coated at some point. Ive also thought about wrapping it but thats the last thing on the priority list.

 

Sharp! Did you keep your first gen?

 

Yea for now, loving walking outside and having to pick a truck to drive

 

Good problem to have. If you get ready to sell your first gen, let me know.

 

Yea man I will, it’s got some problems though lol... paint is bad, leaks when it rains but the engine is

 

That works, a guy I work with has a first gen with a bad motor. I thought about mentioning it to him.

 

Plan is to sell after lifting this one and swapping tires. I'm going to be sad to let the 1st gen go

 

Hell of a truck for a "broke college grad".

Congratulations.

 

Thanks man, not as broke as I used to be now that I'm working. Already ordering a few things, excited to see this truck come together!

 

UPDATE: Chrome steps are off, working on taking bull bar off, dealer sticker, and those awful pinstripes. Weekend plans are to Plastdip chrome grille surround.
I've ordered TRD Fro grille, ditch lights/brackets, and CB tailgate mount. Hopefully ordering lift after a little more research, thinking 5100 kit with Dakars and Total Chaos UCAs from @HeadStrong Off-Road

 

In.

 

Need some updates like the bumper lookin good
