    Hey guys. Figured I'd start a build thread on here to hopefully give some ideas to others. I am in college, so this will be a slower build since my budget is limited. After my dad bought a Tundra over the summer, I inherited the Taco.

    2005 black sand pearl access cab. 4.0 V6, 6 speed manual, 103k miles still going strong. TRD Sport/SR5 packages.

    I'll get more pics up soon! For now just a couple.

    Quick update...new tail lights coming in on Tuesday! OEM ones are cracked, causing condensation/fogging.

    Also just placed an order for an Avid Offroad light bar today. Expecting roughly a month wait.

    Nice man, I'm planning a lot of the same mods. All my stuff is going to be slow going too, (the wife wears the pants in my house). Look forward to seeing your build

    Haha thanks man. Unfortunately this may be the last 2 mods until summer where the lift/tires will come, other than maybe grillcraft. Or maybe the BHLM if I can get the courage to do it :rolleyes:
