It's not silver... It's lunar mist metallic!

Moved over from the new member thread...

Hello all, I just picked up an 03 Tacoma TRD SR5 today after years of wanting one. It's a nice little truck and seems to have been very well cared for. This truck is my first venture outside of the jeep crowd but I'm looking forward to learning a lot. The plan is for this truck so serve DD duties as well as a mild wheeling/camping rig and my Grand Cherokee will still serve as a weekend warrior on the rough trails. Enough talk, on to the pics...





And if anyone's interested, here's the Jeep. Waggy d44 front, Yukon chromo shafts w/ spool, converted to 5 lug, Ford 8.8 rear w/ spartan locker. 35x12.50 MTZ's

 

Well its seems no Taco is complete without the gray wire mod, so I knocked that out and it worked like a charm.

 

The headlights in the Taco were pretty cloudy when I got it, so some new ones went in.

Found out real quick that the previous owner JB-welded one of the turn signals in place after breaking one of the tabs. He actually did a pretty good job as far as cheap fixes go!


Lookin 10 years younger

 

Took the truck out and explored some of the Royal Blue area in Caryville, TN

 

In an effort to pick up some mall parking lot cred, I got the front two windows tinted to match the backs. Came out nice and it's already more comfortable inside.
Other than that, still stock as a rock.
Flame away haters!!

 

Awesome man, great looking truck!

 

Thanks man.

Also spent this past Saturday changing all 3 accessory belts as well as a squeaky idler pulley. Definitely not as simple as the same job on my jeep 4.0 but still not too bad, and everything's nice and quiet now.



I also think I may have to do the rear carrier bearing before too long as well

 

Looks like windrock trail 15....

Nice jeep and tacoma btw!

 

That it is, good eye!

And thanks

 

Some other random pics since I've had the truck....

Half the cluster went out so new LEDs fixed that



Tunnel cruising





The truck also did great in all the nasty weather we had a couple weeks back

 

Nice taco.... the cherokeelol

 

Haha Thanks, i wasn't sure how well posting the jeep would go over on here. I figured wheelin is wheelin though so why not.

 

There's definitely a few of us that own/ wheel Jeeps.

 

Just breakin bahls haha

 

Lookin good man! time for some mods!!

 

Couldn't agree more. It's got a decent set of tires on it but once they get a little lower I plan to hop on the bandwagon and do Bilsteins all around to level it out and move up to a 32" tire.

Also may get my buddy to help fab up a simple rear bumper, we shall see though

 

sounds sweet man! and btw....go vols!!

 

Truck looks good. Can't wait to see where it goes

 

Thanks man.

In other news, I know it's lame but for the sake of new parts documentation...I got this Fram version of a K&N (airhog or something like that) on Rockauto for freaking $7. Still debating weather or not too mess with the deck plate mod...

 

For the deck plate I only noticed a difference sound at WOT.

Other than that nothing, but is like the mark of TW haha
