Shwayzer's Build -Girls can have nice trucks too.

Thought starting this thread will help me keep track of all the progress I make & hopefully give people some ideas like TW gave me. I'll slowly be uploading as I go. Cut me some slack tho. This is money permitting, haha. Sorry the pics are so big. These are from my phone. Still adjusting to TW.

2014 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport

The same day I picked up the truck from the dealership.
Bone stock and brand new.

First Mod - Removed the emblem on the grille and plasti dipped it.
Thought it would give the truck a cleaner look.
The emblem on the right was just a test drive.
Did about 10 coats with about 10 mins between each coat.
(I was paranoid it wouldn't come out right.
Hence the amount of coats and time)

​

​

Second Mod - Installed Fabtech 2.5 adjustable coilovers
with a leaf in the back. Currently running my stock
shocks back there too. (Temporarily).
The ride is still super smooth. Coilover kit set me back a pretty penny.
But definitely worth the buy.
Sorry I didn't get any pics from installation.

Third Mod - I know everyone has mixed opinions about these.
Spidertrax spacers. Reason for them was because I wanted
to keep my stock rims on the truck. Solution was to add
spacers so I don't constantly have to worry about
the side walls of my tires hitting the UCA's. So far, I haven't
had any issues with them. & they did give me way more clearance.

Most Recent Mod - Purchased some new shoes (Firestone MT's)
for my truck. They're solid tires. A little noisy but I'm one
of the few who like the sound. & they're mud tires. Can't expect them
to roll in silence.
​

This is how my truck is currently sitting. Slowly
making progress. I also removed all the emblems and stickers
from the truck. I really like the clean look.

Will keeping updating as I make more changes! ​

Tailgate lock came in today. I didn't go with the pop&lock.
The masterlock was way cheaper and it seems a lot more sturdy.
Comes with a key. It's $20 on their website. I found it for $14.75 on Amazon.

Master Lock Tailgate Lock - Truck Bed Locks #8253

http://www.amazon.com/Master-Lock-T...5806&sr=8-3&keywords=masterlock+tailgate+lock

Says it doesn't fit Tacoma tailgates BUT it does.
There's a little protective piece where the key goes
which is awesome because I go to the beach all the time.
Metal + Sea Salt = Rust.

​

Painted mine black before installing.

Took about 5 seconds to install.
It comes with Velcro pieces and a foam piece
to keep it from moving around but I decided to test it out
with just the little foam piece attached to the side.

​

Got some interior mods on the way. Should be here on Saturday.
