Franks 04 Taco Snail Build

Hey guys I've been on the forum for awhile but just figured I'd start a build thread side things are starting to come together alittle bit more. I don't have a lot done it right now but I've got a 2004 x-cab 2.7 5-speed that I picked up a several months back from a local dealer. I've got plenty of plans for this truck to my DD and a weekend trail truck for now. Lucky my fiancé has a great DD that I can use( lexus is300). Anyway my current mod list:
-BF Goodrich 33-12.50-15
-15" Chrome Alloy Ions
-Magnaflow muffler to dual pipes not exactly what kind got it that way
-Bilstein 5100's all around with stock coils for now
-Bully side steps
-b&m t-handle shift knob
-front bull guard on the way(x-mas present from the fiancé)
-Front billet grille(now plastidipped)
-32" OKLEDs light bar with ottraw switch mounted in cab
-Cree dual beam led headlights
-Anti-Dark hood light kit from Brad
-Cobra 19 cb radio with 3' black Firestik and Firestik spring and mirror mount and 18' coax cable

Future mods:
-Skid plates and transfer case skid
- General Grabber 33x12.50x15
-Rock sliders(ASAP)
-Elite-Offroad front and rear bumpers
-LCE supercharger and headers
-Marlin Crawler clutch
-Regear to either 4.88 or 4.56
That's all I can think of now. Thanks for looking and now for a few pics-

No comments...

 

Haha calm down bud

Nice truck btw

 

Ok man and I believe your truck is my trucks idol.

 

Haha thanks, she's not quite where I want it to be but it's getting there!

Bumper may be for sell sometime this year if you're interested haha

 

Yea man mines far from ready or where I wanna be and yes I will be interested in and what kind of bumper is it?

 

Haha trust me, literally all my extra money goes towards this truck!

It's a Relentless Fabrication bumper. I love it but I want a different version plate bumper.

Yea most of my $$& goes toward the truck and the rest goes to everything else. Hahaha. Oh ok yea I'd be happy to take it off your hands

 

Yeah, same here haha This forum definitely doesn't help!

I'll keep you in mind then man. Just waiting for the guy to start taking orders for bumpers again.

 

Ok man thanks a lot and thanks for the comment.

 

No problem! What's next on the list to do?

 

Working on ordering a 3" lift billies up front and in back and probably new leaf packs and OME coils and armor along with some sliders hopefully here all next well this month.

 

Nice! Can't wait to see the progress

 

Yea me too I hope that I have all that on before the end of February but we will see and also a cb and Firestick and a few other little mods. Might end up powdercoating my wheels or plasti dip em.

 

If you can afford to powdercoat them then do it. Otherwise nothing wrong with plastidip if you have access to a heated garage or something.

 

Yea I could do either myself I've done a few powdercoating projects before so it's no big deal.

 

Got my the TW and local club decals one before work yesterday

 

Sweet truck man

 

Thanks man. I've got a lot going on in the next month hopefully sliders, new lift and skids. Hope to have it supercharged by the summer.
