Say Hello To Chewbacca

whats with so many tuners coming over to tacomas? I swear there must be 20 people on here that have come from wrx or some other tuner to tacoma?
great looking truck dude.

 

Good question... There are a lot of tuner guys/girls that came over to a Tacoma/Tundra. Idk about the rest but for me I just love the Tacoma.. It's a perfect size truck for me and what I use it for.. I mean there aren't to many mid size trucks out there that you can buy.. I guess I could have went with a Chevy canyon or something like that but I also like how mechanically sounds the Japanese build there cars. Not to say that American car company's don't build there cars reliable too but I'm just also use to Japanese cars. I also own a Honda S2000... as well as a Yamaha R1 that I take to the track too. So with those being both Japanese brands... When I needed a truck I just automatically thought of a Toyota Tacoma. And thanks man! I apperciate the kind words. I have a couple more things I'd like to get for the truck but it's coming along

 

I know there's a girl on here that came over from WRX to a TRD Sport
Hell I'm going from having a heavily modified 12.9 sec 1/4 mile jetta to a tacoma haha.
I just need some more cargo space and would love to start going off roading more like I used to with my uncle and some of my friends so, tacoma it is. Don't need a full sized so mid sized it is. The GM twins are ugly to me and garbage so ya really only leaves one other option. Not about to buy a honda minivan with a different body haha

 

Yup a Tacoma is a great size truck for me as well! I guess I could have also went with a ridgeline lol. But no tacomas look way better good luck with your Tacoma!

 

So the other weekend I was dragged to check out a could garage sales with my GF and I ended up finding a Tacoma bed mat so today we went out again and I ended up finding a Toyota tow-hitch plugfor 1$ dollar. Came home and it fits perfect.. The lady I bought it from said it came off there old tundra. Not a bad find for 1$ lol

 

Damn, I need to go yard sale hopping with you! I need some LED bar mounts that I would love to find for 2-4 bucks! I bet if I were to go yard crawling at my current location I would be able to find lots of Hilux parts (some slightly charred and mangled), I wonder if any of them would fit my Turd Gen? haha Also since you've been into making deals lately how bout $50 for the bed mat (shipped of course) and!!! another $50 for the shifter (I mean it is used now)...

 

Lol Yeah I never really went to yard sales or anything but every since I found that bed mat and tow hitch plug I guess I could start going to more haha! And sorry those items aren't for sale! Where are the Hilux truck available to buy? Only overseas?

 

Haha dang, figured that was an offer you could not refuse...And yes you can get them in Afghanistan, Iraq, Costa Rica and most of the rest of the world, minus the US.

 

Dammnn. Yeah I figured you couldn't get them in the US lol. We miss out on all the cool stuff

 

Going out of town for a basketball work out at UCLA so I decided to park Vader inside my shop... Lol

 

Gassin up

 

Picked up a Tacoma Pro Grille this morning... I'll probably install it this weekend when I get some free time

 

Saw the s2000 posted f/s over on s2ki.
Very clean and looks beautiful! GLWS

 

Thanks!! I've been up in the air about selling it. I ended up buying a porsche GT4 so I don't ever drive the s2000 anymore. And it just sits in my garage. So I figured I'd sell it to someone that would actually use it lol. Do you own a s2k?

 

Congrats on the Gt4! Sadly no, my dad owned a 04 Suzuka Blue which started my interests in them. Always loved sitting in it and was definitely the favorite vehicle Ive sat in. Eventually looking to pick up an s2000 as a weekend toy, definitely want to try a pick up a ABP CR if I can

 

Ahh I see! Yeah I was originally looking for a black CR. But then I realized that if I had even got a CR I was going to change everything anyway... As far and the suspension, wheels, and what not. So it made no sense for me to get a CR if that was the case. But yeah s2000s are defiently one of my favorite cars

 

post up the grille installed

 

So I got invited to a basketball workout over at Texas University. Today was our off day so we went over to Houston to watch the rockets game. And inside I got a chance to see a cement Tacoma pro in person. And in person the color is really nice!

 

love the s2k, love the bike, and love your vader! question bro, I noticed that your wheels are "centercapless" as some would say, it looks great, I have SCS F5s on mine and dont come with center caps as well, I put the wheels on, and theres this ugly orangy brown rust where the center cap should be, I guess its the hub area, yours looks clean though with no rust, did you somehow clean that area or paint over it?

 

Hey what's up man! Thanks for the kind words.. Yeah my TEs don't have center caps ether.. All you have to do is just scuff up the rusted part of the hub area with sand paper and just go to a local ACE HARDWARE and pick up some rust protection black spray paint and paint them. I painted mine a flat black.
