    Bought my 2013 Tacoma crew cab new on Easter 2013, intending to build it out slowly, but never got farther than a roof rack from Baja racks (which quietly rusted in the salt fog :)

    8 years and one divorce later, am finally building it out to go surfing and rock crawling.

    current mods:
    • All Pro Offroad front and rear bumpers,
    • Yakama aero roof rack and half height bed rack.

    Currently on pallets in my drive way, waiting to be installed:
    • EBC disks and rotors
    • All Pro suspension and armor
    • Warn Zeon s12 winch
    • Various lights and light bars.
    Future plans:
    • URD magnuson kit
    • URD exhaust
    • Big tires (currently on a truck somewhere in limbo)
    • Nitro 5.29 gears
    Am actually hoping someone can recommend a mechanic in the Bay Area to do the supercharger - my regular mechanic seems a little overwhelmed by the prospect

    Some progress: tires and suspension on. Still waiting for the sliders, lights will go on next week.

    I was going to put my old wheels & tires up here for sale, but I haven’t been on the forum long enough :)
