KaptainH and the Black Pearl

Well- 5 years after getting the truck, 4.75 years after finding TacomaWorld, and 4.25 years after starting modding.... decided to start up a build thread. Figured I didn't have much to share to begin with but now I've built up a decent amount of mods both custom and standard to share. Will also be good to keep logs here and have some good general discussion.

For the curious- KaptainH comes from a play on my last name which is Hook, and my first name starting with a K... I don't really call my truck the Black Pearl. She doesn't have a name.

Truck was initially bought while I was starting grad school- my Isuzu I-280 was a little rough to be driving long distances even though it hardly had any miles on it.. I had beaten it to death, sunk it, and re incarnated it. Gotta find the pictures from sinking it.

Tacoma is a 2013 Sport Long Bed, Paint code 202
