Wife to a Man who loves his Tacoma. Want to makes some mods on it while he is deployed. Being sneaky...heehee. need some help with ideas

 

hellO .... welcome to the forum... Check out :the list: link in my siggy, you might like something there

 

Welcome to TW!!! You will be able to find all the ideas you need here!!

 

Welcome! Plenty of useful folks and ideas to get his taco tricked out right.

 

That would be a wonderful surprise. What does he use is truck for mostly?

Oh and welcome to TW!

 

2001 Tacoma 4 x 4, Silver and Double Cab, slightly abused by others. Got hit from front and back.

thinking about adding:
campershell (soft or hard)
small lift
maybe up the tire size
rims (possibly black?)
replace grill (cracked from wreck)
front and back bumpers (cracked from wreck)
tint windows
finder flares?

other issues:
got two spots of rust coming up under the paint
the stock finders are so faded, what are options about that if i don't replace them?

 

truck is his daily driver, don't want to alter the milage too much.

 

Welcome!!
Btw. Sky is the limit!?!? Do you have a set amount you can spend!?!? These guys can rack up the Bills fast!!!!

 

If he offroads then you should consider putting some metal bumpers on there but that can by pricey.

Regarding the fender flares(assuming they are the black plastic ones) Some have had success with a simple magic eraser

and others have sprayed diy bedliner on them

A good lift kit without breaking the budget is 5100's all around and an aal in the back You could probably get a little better price on those that's just to show you what they are.

 

Oh depending on where you live I am pretty sure guys/gals will help you out to cut the cost of labor

 

Welcome to TW! Good luck with the sneaky project, great idea!

 

no off-roading in the Taco, he's got an 86 4-runner for that.

He will be leaving in March so I am going to figure out what I am going to get and how much it will be. I am going to secretly work a part-time to fund the mods, so hopefully after he leaves I can swing into action.

thanks for the help so far!

 

You are a great woman

 

In that case I suggest you post up a wtb or want to buy thread to get the factory bumpers. Surely somebody out there bought after market bumpers and has no use for the stockers. If you don't get any luck here maybe craigslist.

Do you have a sister?


If no off-roading is involved you can go with any kind of suspension lift, rims, CAI, definitely check out the Mods & Tutorials link at the top of the site.
