GoufCustom's Taco Build

I havent forgotten about TW, and hope to own one again. Since I sold my 2006 Tacoma, I also sold my 1990 Mazda Miata, I bought and sold the 2012 Kia Optima Hybrid, then bought and sold a 2012 Honda Civic Sedan for commuting to work, I barely lasted a year in that. After that I bought my inlaws 2011 Hyundai Sonata Limited and still own that, it is my daily driver.

Making an update with my complete car history; prior to my Tacoma I had a 1995 Honda Civic Sedan, then a 2006 Pontiac G6 Sedan.

 

Finally, this past October I bought my dream car, a 2009 Porsche 911 Carrera, Manual Coupe, and I have started to modify this too...

 

congrats!. You were heading down a bad path there for a minute!

 

I am back!

I bought a used Army Green 2021 DCLB TRD Sport 4x4 in October 2023.

For the last 2 years I have been looking to get a Tacoma, changed jobs, moved, and did a lot of other things, and finally bought one. I was between Army Green, one of the blues, and Cement, and then the one I bought came up with all the options I wanted, and in the color my wife and I both loved. So I drove from Maryland to Massachusetts to pick it up after buying it virtually.

Suspension:

• Stock for now

Wheels and Tires:

• Stock for now, I really want some TRD Pro wheels

Performance:

• This is a long term vehicle, so I am saving for the supercharger, more power...

Armor:

• None yet

Audio:

• Replace the speakers, the JBLs were blown (@ 2 years old and less than 40k miles, sad), but they were sad speakers

Appearance.:

• First mod was the TOYOTA Pro Style Grill
• LED Tail Light mod from VLEDS

Added Functionality:

• Seat Jackers & Fire Extinguisher Mount
• Came with Tonneau Cover
• Came with steps

Misc.:

• Oil Change Kit

Pics:

 

Replaced the speakers and installed the VLEDS LED kit (very high quality!), and the pool noddle noise hack.

 

On the drive from Maryland to Massachusetts I stopped for a lobster roll

 

The Tacoma joins my 2009 Porsche 997.2 911 to build out my reasonably priced dream garage (want a 918 as part of my dream garage...), and I have been having fun with both.







Add the new Morimotto Headlights to my 911!

 

First mod was the TRD Pro style Grill - sourced mine from YotaXpedition

 

Installed the OEM tailgate locker, easy install, really should have been a factory standard thing...

 

Washed, a perfect pair of vehicles!
