Man his dog and the Truck

So after being back in the toyota game i figured I would post my current build thread.

I have owned a few toyotas and few jeeps (about 14 total) but i think I'm going to stick with this Tacoma for awhile

Just got out of the Army and moved back to Colorado so Im back in the game

Here are some of my old Toyotas








Ok enough of that I could go on forever with those


I bought a 2002 Tacoma TRD xtracab While I was still in Texas, had spacers and wheels and tires.... that was it.

Looked like this Minus the topper which I got when i moved back to colorado



First thing I do when i move back i go to the Colorado Toyota Jambo outside Buena Vista







I won a winch in the raffle there too!!!




Next the mods started...

Added some Ebay LED's







Replaced Plugs and wires



Next was sliders and bumpers...





Addicted offroad bumper


Rear bumper build



Taking shape




Body Cuts



On




MagLite Plate mount




Truck Cleaned Up and as it currently sits



Plans are to SaS it, I am not going to do anything with the suspension.

I want to get a built Toyota axle, and a TG Rock Assault Housing for the swap.

Stay tuned for more upgrades.

SAS? This should be interesting...

Are you sure about the Rock Assault Housing? I've never heard anything good about them. I think you'd be better off saving a bit more and purchasing an axle from Diamond Axle. My father has two under his 2007 FJC and they seem to be indestructible...

 

depends on $$$ but i would love a diamond they arnt just for girls

 

True... Diamond can be for men, on a special occasion though.

I do say though, the Diamond Axle will be there to last. I would rather spend more money upfront then spend more later to replace a bent axle housing... Just my two cents...

 

so I've been considering doing work on my suspension... my truck rides like shit with the spacers and the add-a-leaf....

I am thinking coilers and all pro leaves to hold me over....

any thoughts on which coilovers?

 

I recommend ICON or Bilestien with Eibach coils. Either one rides great, the ICONs are top of the line for us though. I love my ICONs though. Super comfortable.
