Recent Progress on my truck - What Else/Next?

So since last summer I have been working on "restoring" my truck, I had told the wife I wanted a project car and she told me I was nuts, shortly after that I got the frame replaced on my Tacoma so I figured I would "restore' it.

After recently upgrading the lift I kind of want bigger tires, but what else should I look to upgrade, main goal being I want this truck to last another 10 years/125k miles.

Truck specs:
2006 Speedway Blue 4x4 TRD Sport DCSB
126k Miles

Upgrades since last August:
New Frame
New Leaf Packs
New Steering rack
New rear shocks (5100s)
Tyger Tri-fold Tonneau Cover
Westin bed mat
New receiver hitch (Curt Class III)
Replaced rotted out antenna
ATX Mojave Wheels w/Hankook Dynapro ATMs 265/75 16
Husky WeatherBeater Floor Liners
Rockford Fosgate Speakers all around
Fab Fours Rear Bumper
Clazzio Seat Covers
Bilstein 5100s up front w/884 OME Coils
Deavers AAL
Ebay climate control knobs


Bought used in 2011 with 59k miles, as it sat then



First upgrades were Bilstein 5100s up front set at 1.75 and Pro Comp Series 52 wheels with Bridgestone Dueller AT 265/70 17 tires with 1.25" Spidertrax spacers


New Rear bumper

As it sits now with 5100s all around, 884 coils, Deaver AAL, and ATX Mojaves and Hankook Dynapro ATMs

 

Illuminated 4x4 switch..Bedlighting and Black headlight mod (bhlm) or full retrofit is all fun diy mods.

I've looked into the illuminated 4x4 switch, honestly not worth the time and effort for me, looking to do more upgrades that will lead to longevity/function rather than cosmetic mods.

 

Have you had to do the ECGS bushing replacement for your needle bearing?

 

+1 on the ECGS, recently did mine

 

Hey Brian, was you trailer plug long enough to integrate with your bumper? I've heard some say it 1/2" short. Mine gets here on Monday and am curious.

Did mine today, glad that's behind me.

 

I did not mount the wiring harness in the bumper (license plate frame location) it is mounted on my new trailer hitch, horrible location if I ever go off-road again, I need to relocate it.

You can see it hanging down under the blue shackle on the left in this pic, I replaced my factory hitch with an aftermarket one.

 

It's not so bad. Thanks for your reply!

 

No problem, I think I remember reading people were able to mount the wiring harness into one of the license plate light locations with a simple bracket they fabricated.

 

The maintenance mod.

Look at all the items that are / aren't up to date. Fluids, filters, plugs, etc. Get the Fluid Film kit and do that this summer if you haven't already (Harbor Freight has a reasonably priced 2.5 HP compressor that works well). Re-route your AC line if you haven't already, etc, etc. The heated mirror kits are pretty useful (I never ran them, but have heated mirrors in my '16 and really like them). Seat heaters are pretty key in the winter in MA.

 

Nice to see a Yankee fan in MA!! Nice truck bro!

 

Huh, interesting... I hadn't read that anywhere. That's not a bad idea. Thanks, Brian.

 

Great looking truck OP. How bout some professionally installed front window tints? It will blend the front 2 windows with the back, keep your butt cool in the summer with those black leather covers & blue truck with black tints just looks sexy!

 

That did cross my mind, then I figured out how much I've spent on this thing recently.

Maintenance is good, oil changes are up to date (including transfer case and diff), plugs and serpentine belt were changed about 5k ago.

 

Its an investment in your comfort. At least thats the way I see it

 

Huge thread bump, not necessarily a mod to my truck but I am thinking of picking up a Kawasaki Teryx4 as a fun toy, currently looking into trailers and reading up on towing as I have never towed anything with my truck.
