    Buying a new vehicle, spending money on modifications, and trading it after 7-10 months is fun. It's also not sustainable. This thread is documentation of my attempt to keep a vehicle long enough to have to renew the registration. (I did it!) {But then traded after 2.5 years lol}

    Link to 4runner build thread https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...-real-2020-nightshade-edition-4runner.847516/

    The day I drove it off the lot:
    IMG_20220520_162729.jpg
    Previous owner had the front windows tinted, had it sprayed with some oil based rust proofing, put on a cheap roll up tonneau cover, and had more agressive tires put on. For being a few years old it was in remarkable shape with almost no blemishes. It was obvious that they really cared about it.

    Pics of varying recent-ness:

    20240319_144248~2.jpg


    This Tacoma I have a primary goal and a secondary goal. My primary goal is for all my modifications to be practical (for example using stock wheels/keeping stock offset to avoid rubbing issues and also to keep rocks and mud flung on the body to a minimum.) My secondary goal is to be adventurous in my purchases (trying some knock off and or lesser known products.)


    Full mod list:
    6112s on 8/6 front with 5̶1̶6̶0̶s̶ ̶r̶e̶a̶r̶ changed to Old Man Emu mt64s in medium load
    TuxMat floor mats
    Valvomax oil quick drain valve
    Amazon knockoff TRD Pro skid
    eBay blemish bed mat
    Clipping the small piece of plastic off to be able to run a h9 high beam bulb in the low beams
    Rigid DSS Pro Spot ditch lights wired via ̶h̶t̶t̶p̶s̶:̶/̶/̶w̶w̶w̶.̶a̶m̶a̶z̶o̶n̶.̶c̶o̶m̶/̶g̶p̶/̶p̶r̶o̶d̶u̶c̶t̶/̶B̶0̶9̶S̶8̶F̶W̶L̶J̶Z̶?̶i̶e̶=̶U̶T̶F̶8̶&̶t̶h̶=̶1̶ Don't use, started a rave on its own at a stoplight, wired to come on via fuse tap to the high beams
    Icon RXT full leaf pack set at stage 1
    All Pro bed stiffeners
    Front Wheelers Superbumps
    OEM Toyota front bedrail (should come with the truck but what evs)
    Mishimoto intake pipe
    License plate light glare blockers
    Armordillo FX running boards
    KD Max Pro 10.0 Regular throttle
    AJT design tacoma bigger cup holder
    Viper D9857V with accompanying Directed Smart Start Pro cell phone module
    Charvonia Design Bed Tie-Downs (ToyoMafia limited edition)
    K̶C̶ ̶G̶4̶ ̶F̶o̶g̶ ̶l̶i̶g̶h̶t̶s̶
    Perry Parts 3d printed bump stops
    Diode Dynamics ss3 pro driving lights in fog location
    Hotshot Off-road fogs on with brights module
    Changed tail lights to OEM all red (SR?) tail lights
    Hooke Road flat replacement tailgate panel
    Rough Country seat covers front and back


    Tires ran:
    265/70/16 Kenda Klever AT2s---------too Smol
    265/75/16 Hankook winter i*pike x (w429a) winter
    265/75R16 General Grabber X3s-------too loud and suck ass in even a light dusting of snow
    265/75/16 Mickey Thompson Baja Boss ATs (sold to go bigger)
    265/75/16 Kenda Klever RT (ended up not going bigger because of lack of availability of desired tire but these look great!)

    The actual first modification was a valvomax but I never took a picture so here is the first pictured modification, a vanity plate! A knockoff TRD Pro skid was also put on around the same time.

    Next was the biggest mod yet. New suspension parts! Put on some 6112s and 5160s. Everything I'd hoped for and more. Wonderful ride on and off road.

    Perfect!

    It's good that we can edit titles and polls, so that you can add that in, or change "Tacoma" to whatever you're driving next year.

    I like these!

    How long do you keep your vehicles that this is a known thing with you?

    I've seen you with the new girl. The way you look at her, definitely has that foreverness. And already buying her shiny things says you're really care.













    Until next year, when some new model starts smiling at you......

    They are super nice. Most coverage on the market. Long as their quality doesn't go downhill I'll be a lifelong customer of theirs. I uh... Haven't had to renew the registration in like 4 or 5 years....
    At least two!!!!
