well thought that I should start a build thread even I can't keep track of all that I've done
here's what got me into toyotas a little over a year ago

she was a 1990 sr5 v6 loaded with everything awesome truck had soo much fun in that truck
then my sister bought a brand new trd sport tacoma and that got me hooked so I started my search ! was kinds funny how I found it was on the way to the liquor store drove by the Nissan dealer of all places saw it In the back there stopped in talked to the dealer the guy had traded it in for a frontier or something lol!anyway a few hours later that day she was mine ! soo excited I could barley contain my self
and soo it begain
started by building myself a headache rack like I have for all my trucks my sisters and my dads dodge

 

then the addiction started tried out some 285/75/16s pretty warn but wanted to see if they fit , the truck came with aal in the rear and spacer in the front
added a few lightbars then it was time for a front bumper so our bc toyota 4x4 group had a group buy on the northwest trail innovation weld together bumpers snagged one up and started building it

seemed a little intimidation at first trying to see where all the pecies went untill I got the instructions emailed to me ! so started pluggin away




after lots of grinding and sanding I sent it off and got it power coated semigloss black

put my starr led driving lights on it dot sae whatever so no covers and totally legal amd them some 5" in the bumper don't plan on having a winch yet so there ok there for now

 

Nice, looks pretty rugged

 

did me a little plastidipping just the wheels love the black and added some craigslist sliders

did me a little flexing to see what she could do it's got about 10.5 of travel in the front and that's just stock with spacer ! explane that

got some almost new duratracks on stock rims 285/75-16 tryed them on and that's what made me do the cab mount chop


got some military jerry cans for free from a contractor that I work for sometimes
mounted them in the bed untill I figure out tire carrier

Lca skids from ricochet

then it was time to build a rear bumper . I know that relentless fab has a weld together kit but I decided to build my own started with 2x5 for the centre and side some plate that I had leftover for the edges turned out waaay better then I had ever thought



and a little tire holder ! after I built my bumper I got a plasma cutter so that was kinda bad timing on my part but hey I lie grinding

 

ordered some camburg uniball ucas and got some radflo extended travel coilovers ,all this waiting for the ucas then I can put all on and finally get a proper alignment

 

it's funny because I have only had this truck for 4 mounths

 

Looks great...wasn't sure if you saw my post after yours in the "What have you done..." thread, but check this out to see if you really wanna keep that tire mounted there.

Matt

 

yea I'm going to change my design and make it have to mounting points to the bed rail instead of one that should keep it steady and not crack

 

down at Harrison lake with my sis
got some billistein 5150 10" travels for the back just had to trim the lower rubber and make a eye to stud adapter for the top! my local shop bcc wants to use my truck to start fabbing there own skids so they'll give me a killer deal using my truck for mockup,! super stoked

 

subb'd dude.

 

Well its been a wile got lots to add so here it comes Bcc fabbed me there own shackle flit that they built for my truck
Then some poser shots with the forklift

 

Then back at bcc again for the first set of there own skid plates that they made on my truck got a killer Deal on them they have took quite the abuse
Got a elocker axel from my bc toyota group with a cable kit and 456s not installed yet we'd front gears first should be sweet with 35s

Added a few more backup lights that I had lying around mounted then under the rear

 

Then some serous shit happened all in all my buddy made me crash my truck don't wanna talk details he payed for everything but time for a few upgrades here's the scene drove off the road here over those cement barriers
almost into this apartment
Broke my lower control arm bent the frame a little in the front and bent my spindle slashed the tire bent 2 rims and bent my rear Axel tube and set all the airbags off and the seat belts blew and the airbags smashed the windshield quite a expensive mistake by my buddy
Lucky nobody stopped or even seen the accident because if I had to go threw insurance they would have most likely totaled my truck drove it off the lawn backwards into the parking lot rushed home got my flat deck and brought her home

 

This is what the lca looked like I was thinking of driving it home after glad I didn't because it was almost broke all the way thew

so this made me wanna make my high clearence bumper more hight clearence

When I rode the barriers the rear slapped a hedge and blew a few of them off the ground so then



Add the trim

The first peice


The second peice

And repeat on the other side


Cap the ends


And finish off with some paint and mudflaps

 

The mess And then out it comes
only took 2hrs to take out and put the new one in with airbags and seatbelts way easer then I thought

 

And a few trips along the way

 

Love my taco

 

Great looking truck! Armor is awesome. The hi clearance in the rear is my favorite. Maybe one day when the payments/warranty are gone. Looks like good times.

 

So clean!!! Just got a Speedway blue myself
