My 2003 Double Cab "Project budget build"

I have neglected my Tacoma for a while and after reading hundreds of build threads. I think is time to start one of my own currently my truck has a couple of mods already which include:


Revtek 3' lift kit (yeah ,yeah I know this kit sucks but,I purchased it before I became a member here, so please cut me a little slack lol.)
Billy's 5100's
K&N intake
magnaflow full catback exhaust.
265/75/16 BFG A/T 's
16' ultra crushers
Depo Red/Smoke tail lights


I saved up a decent amount of money and doing a lot of reading / research on here this what my build will consist of:


Trail Gear low profile bumper (already ordered )
Superwinch 9500lbs Tiger shark winch (next on the list)
Warn Steel Fairlead Hawse
Toytec/Eibach 3" lift springs (replacing the hockey puck up front)
Factor 55 Pro Link Loaded shackle mount
Uniden Pro 520XL 40 channel CB radio
Uniden Communications Speaker (Bearcat)

I have the Firestik antenna, cable ,connections, and cables already.
I posted a couple of pic's of how it currently looks right now. Once parts come in I will post pic's and installation of those parts. Stay tuned!!!!!

 

Where does the other end go?

 

Are you talking about the C/B radio????

 

You sir, have what's known as "bro-lean". Haha

In all seriousness the truck looks awesome.

 

Thanks !!!!Haha!!!! Yeah it really does not bother me much but, it does not help either that my driveway is in an incline lol...

 

Here's pic's of my installation of my C/B radio and Firestik antenna I have more stuff coming in the mail like my trail gear low profile bumper which should come by Tuesday I'm so exited .


Ill post pic's of the installation of the bumper and winch (superwinch tiger shark 9500) when the bumper arrives I attached pic's of the installation of the C/B enjoy

 

Like the truck, man

 

I still have some wires to hide and attach the bottom piece of the console . the reason I choose the 2ft firestik as you can see I bearly clear my car port by only inches

 

Thanks

 

Finally finished tuning my C/B radio SWR's were under 1.5. on the majority of the channels and just above 1.5 on some so I'm fine .




Took off the bush guard preparing for the trail gear low profile bumper which comes in tomorrow!!! I snapped a couple of pic's of the truck without the brush guard.

 

Look what UPS dropped off today can't wait until Friday to install!!!

 

So I finally got around to installing my trail gear low profile bumper and superwinch tiger shark 9500. The bumper cross member bracket needed some love taps with a BFH . Other then that it was smooth sailing , the winch was easy to wire up. I ran into a little problem with the grille and the clutch release . So I rotated it to hide behind the grille which makes it still accessible for use. I added some other goodies pro factor winch lock and pro factor shackle mount. It took me almost all day with breaks and lunch in between. For doing it all by my self I'm proud with the end result . I wanted to go for the clean look so no chopping of the grille . I snapped a lot of pic's enjoy.

 

That's it for now maybe some spidertrax wheels spacers in the future.
