    2011 Base 5-Lug Tacoma. Single cab.
    Fat Bob's. AAL. Custom grill. Alpine and Kicker audio. UWS toolbox. 32/11.5/R15 BFG KM3 Mud Terrains. Regeared to genuine Toyota 4.10. Flowmaster 40 series. No cats(they were stolen). Planning on adding black bushwacker fender flares.
    All work to this truck was done by myself with the occasional help of my father in law, Eric. With the only exception being the actual building of the differential gears when regearing, however i swapped the third member myself after sending it off to East Coast Gear Supply (ECGS) to have them put in a genuine set of Toyota 4.10s.

    Fat Bob's level and AAL.
    Reagear (as mentioned above)
    Flowmaster 40 series with no cats (I say cats because even though I have the 2.7l 4 cylinder, my cats were stolen and I believe there was more than one or a resonator becasue the length of missing pipe was like 32 inches or more.) Living with it until I can be in a place with a garage becasue they'll be back for the new one.
    Alpine separates in the doors and a kicker 10 inch behind my bench seat which has been changed out to a grey leather bench seat (i bought it that way)
    BTW truck has 88,000 miles on it and I bought it 3 years ago for 8,000 at 63,000 on the clock. I am the third owner. And plan to be the last.
    32/11.5/15 BFG KM3 Mud-Terrains on 15 inch American Racing AR17 Baha aluminum wheels with negative 6 offset. I had to take an angle grinder to shave off just a millimeter or two off from the face of the caliper mounting bracket to clear the backside of the wheels after I had already bought them and they didn't roll out the shop becasue they were locked up against the caliper mounting bracket. And I work at Discount Tire and I have for over 4 years and I had zero test fitment issues when running them up, even torqued easily to a nice 85ftlb. But truck didn't roll. Thats why I did that mod bwcasue at that point I was stuck with the wheels no refund. Looks great and zero issues:)
    Bilstein HDs in front, Bilstein 5100 in back i believe can't remember.
    UWS 63 inch low profile aluminum toolbox.
    Westin stainless steel sidesteps.
    Wired up some cool yellow fog lights via an added relay under the good. Wired an OEM style press switch inside like factory for the fogs.
    Bought the white old shcool looking Toyota emblem from India on eBay lol. Had my grill all cut out and mesh inserted professionally by Custom Car Grills. Com. I reached out to the owner of CCG via a YouTube video of a similar grill instalation of my truck. Bevasue the 2011 model grill is actually differnt than any other 2nd gen grill, I didn't want to do it myself and couldn't really follow his YouTube video becasue of the differences in the way the grill was designed by Toyota specifically on the 2011 model only. The owner was awesome and did the work for me (I paid of course) but the deal was I asked him to make another YouTube video on the custom grill work specific to us 2011 5-lug owners and he did!!! My grill is featured in the whole video! And even a picture of the finished product on my truck at the end:) pretty cool.
    And this week I'm adding some black bolt on style fender flares!! I'll post pics:)
    Thats it!!! I hope I didn't forget anything lol.
