    First off im Chris, everyone calls me Metrick because there are to many Chris' out there. Im a Paramedic/Firefighter. Ive always been a Toyota owner at heart. I have had 4 trucks now. My Father started me out on Toyota when he and my mom both had them (dad=88 i think Pickup 22re, mom 90 4Runner) When i turned 16 I got a 95 EXT cab 3.0 in grey, had for 2 years and the head gasket popped.. so it was cheaper to get another used vehicle than fix the motor. So then i received a 91 Pickup ext 3.0.. I put over 300,000 miles on it and sold it so i could go to school.. i was driving 75 miles a day, 5 days a week. So that was a little unreasonable getting 16-18 in the mountains. Bought a honda Accord and i really liked it but it wasnt a truck.. so my car started to break down after i got married and my wife and i found my new Toy...

    Video with my brother we made back before i went off to college. 2005 i think?

    So i went on the hunt for a new truck and found a new one..

    2008 Tacoma, with leather, tow package, 4x4.. Too much chrome but ill change that slowly, will do the lift right this time with 5100's and still keep the truck tasteful.. Still have my old stereo that i will be putting in it and some other odds and ends from the old truck.

    Current:
    Pioneer DVD Stereo
    Blacked out grill and Chrome Bull bar
    LED bar mounted on Bull bar
    2x 10inch Subs behind seats
    Tinted Tails
    LED bulbs in all tails
    BHLM Retros/HID
    Hood Struts
    5100 Lift
    Ditchlights



    Future:
    20% Tint
    Satoshi Mod
    Backup Camera in handle
    Underhood lights
    Fuse Block for all my goodies
    Fiberglass Front fenders if money ever allows
    Sliders
    Armor

    Love my headunit! it runs great and so far no issues. Sounds great and multiple options to change the EQ to perfectly tune. Only thing i have an issue with but its not the units problem is how it is positioned in our trucks it washes out in direct sunlight..

    Ok so heres an update.... Traded my Pioneer radio for a set of wheels, neighbor didnt want to order a new radio, and wire it, so he traded me his old wheels. He also sold me a set of headlights for super cheap, after i installed his retrofit he bought. Ordered a set of 5100's around black friday from Jet.com for a really good price. So by thursday should have Bilstein 5100's, General grabber at2 265/70/17 Tires on the Procomp 7005. I also have started my retrofit, so hopefully will be done with it by February weather pending.. (it wont stop damn raining!!!!!)
