-Custom raptor grill with TACOMA lettering (Matt123 #bpfabricating)
-Matt123 skid plate
-Bilstein 5100 front (1.75") and rear
-ImMrYo rear view mirror lift (should be on its way)

Future Mod List:
-BHLM with retrofit
-Black out tail lights and third brake light
-SCS Stealth 6 matte jet black wheels
-Duratracs 265/70/17
-Tint front D&P windows to match rear
-Paint rad, drums, calipers black.

A few days after I bought it in 2011

 

Thanks! I should be able to install the new skid plate tomorrow and the 5100s next week.

 

Thanks for the heads up on the MOOG kit. I'll have to look into those.

I don't typically haul much other than the odd bike trip which would put about 400-500 lbs in the box. Trips like that only happen about 2-3 times a summer. My truck came stock with the 4 leaf pack as well and seem to be holding up. That said, if I'm not satisfied with the 5100s at 1.75" and want more lift, then I'll be getting a new leaf pack, etc...

 

Skid plate installed. Also, updated current pic in first post.

 

5100s installed. Set at 1.75". 1/4" lean spacer. Perfectly level at 23" all around.

 

Nice, looks good so far

 

Thanks, Tacom08. She's getting there.

Installed the ImMrYo lift bracket.

 

Best mod ever

 

I'm only 5'7" and this bracket is a huge improvement. I don't have to duck under the mirror to see things anymore. Just PM ImMrYo and he'll set you up with one. Well worth it.

 

Nice truck! Grille looks good. Always been a fan of BSP. When are you getting tires? Oh, BTW; DCLB FTW.

 

Thanks! I honestly like the look of the SB better but I need the extra room of the LB for bike trips. Hoping I'll be able to afford the wheels when they are in stock in about 60 days or so. I'll grab the tires then.

Bought some Nite Shade for the tails and some high temp satin black paint for the Rad/ac condenser, calipers, drums. Just need some warmer weather to get paint projects done.

 

Here's the alignment numbers after the 5100 install.

 

Sadly, no. I'm glad everything is good to go though.

 

Just the left and right toe

 

where did you get the MTG grip shifter if you dont mind me asking? it's hella sweet!

 

I made an insert to hold the grip. I have the original one that I made up quick. It's fully functional but not as clean as the one in the pic (I did the bore with a drill instead of a press). If you want it just PM me your shipping info.

I thought that was a bit odd as well. It does drive fine thought and I'll be keeping an eye on the wear.

 

Shouldn't be. We loosened the LCAs but notched them first so we had a reference when we bolted them back up.

 

Second time you've posted those. I'll grab some for sure. With our winters and the excessive salt use, I'm sure I'll be needing them sooner than later. Thanks.
