Munkeeboi's 2012 SW Stormtrooper Build

Were you running the Konig Countersteer X (265/70/17) on stock height at first?

 

Looking awesome! Looking to do a lot of things you did with mine.

 

I haven't had any issues with the EGR's. Don't know how the WT are to compare

I was already lifted on 1.5" in front when I installed the rims/tires. rubbed the mudflap due to the larger tire. I set my 5100 to .85 and problem is gone. probably not a problem at stock tire size.

TSB - you will have 3 longer leafs and a short overload spring.
Retro fit - HID headlight conversion from theretrofitsource.com

 

When are we adding new parts to your truck

 

love the grillcraft

 

dude you have to tint your turning signals. ive seen it done on other threads it looks so nice, so clean.

 

how was the install on the grillcraft?

 

Your truck is sick! I ordered my 5100's with OME 885 coils w/ 2" Toytec AAL last week. Im trying to grow enough balls to do the BHLM!

Im curious about the grillcraft too. It looks awesome!

 

Where did you get those headlights, LOOKS BADASS!!!

 

Yeah it does.

I have a 2012 Super White.

I did the Grillcraft Mesh and also bought a big TOYOTA emblem to mount center


Question did you paint the inner of those headlights and if so can I get the low down on how to do that buddy?

 

On the Grills

Grillcraft has a PDF full install on the 2012s

Its not hard just have to be careful not to get SAW HAPPY

 

Here is the link to the install:

Wow...haven't been to my own page for a while.

Grill craft installed the grill for me as a test vehicle so other than the install link above, I had no part of the install.

I did just install a new BAFM light bar and 55w HID Hella 500's.

 

Subscribed!!!

 

Good looking Taco.

 

looks amazing! props.

 

I just bought a 2013 Tacoma Double cab TRD i am thinking about adding the pro comp 3" kit and i was wondering what size tires you went with? My truck has 17" rims and was thinking about going with Kelly Safari TSR LT265/70r/17 Any input on how this would look in comparison to yours would be a big help

 

Munkeeboi's 2012 SW Stormtrooper

Love your truck, it looks like a Stormtrooper. I have a few questions if you could help me out.

1. How did you blackout the headlights? Do the lens separate from the chrome body? Did you just spray the chrome with black paint and re-assemble? How did you seal the lens to the body after separation to avoid moisture?

2. There are so many posts on how to wire up the fog-lights to work without the headlights on. One way, All Inside the small fuse box, one way jumping between the small and big box (two different locations in the big box), and one other method of totally removing the big box and switching a green and red/black wire. Which way did you do it and do you have to remember to switch off the fog lights when you get out of the truck.

I am switching from the low car scene (gs300 on coilovers) and getting into the truck scene (2013 tacoma TX edition). I want a lift like yours. I think it's a good height. Just for my understanding, what do I need? Will the bilstein 5100s alone do it? Or do I need something else?

Your truck loo

ks awesome BTW!
