dirtytaco2010's build

So I finally feel like posting a build thread of my tacoma. It in no way rivals most tacomas on here but I like it. I've done a few mods have more to come.

Mods done: bed mat, remove TRD decals, black badges, tint, general grabber AT2's, black nerf bars, toytec AAL, Bilstein 5100's @ 2.75, and an ultra-gauge.

Coming soon: 885's, wheel spacers, aftermarket UCA's, AFE pro dry s filter, removal sencodary charcoal filter, BHLM, Black tail lights, black powder coat my rims, wicked flow exhaust (missed the group buy), LED interior lighting, remove mud flaps (probably today), order TRD decal from sockmonkey, (man I have a lot to do).

any other suggestions/ cool mods you have done that might be useful?


badging and nerf bars


dropping rear end off jack stands with me under truck lowering rear diff during AAL


after the rear AAL install (look at that rake!)


after bilstein 5100 install @ 2.75


sits perfectly level with a small lift

 

Good start!!! Good luck on all your future mods. Truck looks great!!

 

thanks its getting there

 

i like it, but......
am i reading this right????

hope you are ok

 

yeah you read it right. when I was lowering the diff the jack broke and shook the truck i was under the spare tire area, when it shook it fell of the jack stands cuz it was on a slight incline ( my dumbass fault and I knew it too) so I ninja rolled into the street while my buddy who was under the left rear drum taking off the u bolts and stabelizing the rear axel did a flying squirrel into the bushes luckily the rear end fell perfectly onto the jack somehow and nothing hit the ground. it was a bitch to get it back up took over an hour

 

How about, "luckily nobody got killed"? Glad no one got hurt and your truck didn't get damaged.

 

good lookin truck and im glad nobody was hurt during the lift installation!! do those 285's rub your uca's any? if i go with 285s i wanna get the grabbers too.

 

they are 265 70 17 actually and i have no rubbing i think im going to bump up to 285's or just put spacers on so I have a little wider track for snow season

 

yeah same here it was close lol

 

after removing the oem running bars

 

just installed AFE pro-dry...filled the tank awaiting results... already feel a slight power gain

 

Nice! Any vibes?

 

No runs great

 

added spidertrax spacers

 

thinking about black wheels?

 

yeah i really want to im kinda nervous to do it and was thinking of just saving up for new wheels. plus the weather is starting to get cold and painting could take a long time...have you done it?

 

finally got my wheels
