Purchased December 5,2015 w/ 160k miles.


Kept it stock for a while.



Then after a few months came the leveling kit.


Got a deal on some 33’s


Mounted up on some procomp wheels


How she sat for a few years.




Got bored and threw the wheels off my prerunner on for a little change. 17x9 KMC Beadlocks



Got bored again and got some Methods for a while.


Repainted the roof since it had some sun damage.


Then the snowball started lol

Got some 2.5 Swayaway Coilovers for a deal so I ordered some Total Chaos upper arms to go with them.




Clear corners.


And onto my current set of wheels. 17x9 MickeyThompson’s


Ordered a TrueNorth Fabrications plate bumper on Black Friday.



eBay grille insert I picked up off offerup for $20 and installed some LED headlights.


Then I immediately went and blocked it with some 7” HID’s.



Added a light hoop so these lights don’t get destroyed.



Installed a Paranoid Fabrication switch mounting plate and a iPad Ram Mount for music, gps, and to more closely monitor gauges and what not.





Wasn’t sure what I was gonna do about turn signals til I saw these little turn signal relocation plates from SRQ Fabrication and it came out great


Added some 3” McNeil Racing Front fenders! This is the 4th set of Fiberglass I’ve purchased from Mark and they always come out great!



Rattle canned them because I refuse to pay anything more than $50 for a paint job that’s going to get destroyed ever time I offroad lol came out decent I think !



Found a guy up in Riverside who was going back to stock and we did a straight trade for his bed with Fiberglass already mounted for my stock bed! The dude was cool and even gave me a set of 8” Swayaway Coilovers he had laying around for free ! They need a rebuild and one needs a new shaft since it’s bent but you can’t beat free!


Picked up a set of Solo spindles off of another member on here for a solid deal !


Mounted them up on a slow day at work !



Current 5/22/2020

 

A few other projects that have come and gone over the years!

2011 Tacoma 4x4





1998 4runner 4x4




1996 Impala SS



1999 Nb1 Miata






2001 Lexus GS430





1991 BMW 318i (Bruce)






And the most infamous previous project was my 1999 Tacoma LS swapped prerunner.







TLDR; on this truck was I got screwed over by a fabricator who left the truck in extremely poor condition and I ended up parting it out and starting the build on my current doubles cab.

Ordered up a Solo Long travel kit to match their spindles that I’m already running. Along with 8” King internal bypass Coilovers.

@FlapJack935 sent me overs his old rear shock hoops so I’m currently in the market for 12” bypasses and rear springs.

Kit came in way faster than I was anticipating ! Just waiting on shocks and bumps now !

 

Also finally mounted up this light box my girl bought me a few weeks back ! Wired up the two dust lights just need to wire up the others to function as running / brake lights.

 

Bumps came in today and while I was picking them up I grabbed these recovery boards.



All I’m waiting for now is for my shocks to come in and the tear down begins !

 

Coilovers finally came in. Contemplating just waiting to install the kit til I do the rear since my rear is basically stock still. Not sure if I wanna bro out with a 5.5 over front and a stock rear lol

I feel attacked.

 

You actually use your truck so it’s different lol My truck just sits in my driveway looking good all day

 

Nah man. I’ve seen pics of you out there. You go 905 a lot don’t you?

 

Yea I live like 2 blocks from one of the entrances to 905 so I use to go a lot. Been to busy with work that I haven’t had a chance to use the truck in weeks.

 

Picked up a little tote to stash my tools since I’ve been just throwing everything in my backseat and it’s starting to fly around the cab when things get rowdy lol

I’m still looking for a permanent solution that I can leave mounted in the bed but being a short bed tool box’s that fit and don’t take up the whole bed aren’t super common

 

Did you special order the front glass to have the louvers? The McNeil I have didn't come with louvers

 

the BMW is sick!

 

Did you order them new ? I’ve boughten like 5 sets of McNeil glass and they’ve all had the louvers. At first I didn’t like them but I got used to them lol
