ShadowRunner Tacoma...the road to SEMA 2017

Ok...so as things begin to get underway with my build this year, I figured I should start a thread for my build. I'm building it for SEMA this year, it's my first SEMA build and also my first Tacoma.

Initial plans for the build...long travel, fiberglass, racing seats throughout, roll cage, custom bed/headache/roof rack, full Kevlar line, etc. -- too much to list!

Progress has been slow so far, excruciating waiting for companies to offer sponsorships and parts, but it will be well worth the wait. Fast forward to now...wheels, tires, LT kit, suspension, grille, bumpers, batteries, fiberglass, and seats are all either being built, shipped, or have already arrived.

I'll be doing all of the work with my cousin, therefore I'll be able to supply you guys with an annoying amount of detailed pictures of installation, and how everything performs.

With all that said, I would like to first thank each of my sponsors from the bottom of my heart:
-Camburg
-Bilstein
-Vision Wheel
-General Tire
-BodyGuard
-PRP Seats
-Royalty Core
-Speed Strap
-Pro Eagle
-TRS
-McNeil
-Rigid Industries
-Odyssey Battery
-Limitless Hydrographics
-Sharp Wraps
-Raptor Liner

I honestly cannot thank you guys enough, none of this would be possible without your continued support!

Here in the coming few months I'll be updating you guys with unpacking pictures, installation pictures, and final product pictures.

Until then...what're your thoughts on my rendering? Lots of things have already changed...but that's a rough idea for y'all!

Feel free to drop a follow on instagram @shadowrunner_tacoma !!



EDIT: Here she sits now, scroll down to see a bit of the process

 

Updated rendering with a custom one-off Bodyguard prerunner style Offroad bumper. I will be dropping the truck off at their shop tomorrow to get a new line of bumpers made for our trucks, and to design a custom one for my build. Stay tuned!

 

Here's some pictures for you guys of my LT kit and custom PRP seats. Should have the truck back from Body Guard by the end of the month!

 

Hmm .. I don't follow third gens but I like where this is going.

 

It should be rather interesting! Aiming for a very clean, well put together build. Not some hack-job, rushed POS like most SEMA builds. Trying to figure out a turbo kit if Magnuson doesn't hurry.

 

That front end looks great. I feel like there are significant cuts made to make that happen? Sub'd for the results!

 

Can't wait to see this truck finished

 

?
Looks like a cool concept. Talk about starting early!

 

Where can I get that bumper?
The one in the 2ND pic

 

That front bumper looks good... interesting.

 

Things are staring to shape up!

 

To those commenting on the front bumper in the second rendering...that bumper was a concept I had but isn't going to pan out this year. Body Guard and I have been working together on launching a line of bumpers for our truck. They were just finished last week. I'll be running simply a widened version of it. Bumper in the picture will be a possibility for launching a whole new line of prerunner(ish) style bumpers through them next year. Stay tuned for the anticipated release of the new line!

 

Nice rack! what company ?

 

It's actually custom, still on the fence about doing it or not.

 

Bad ass build. Are you doing rear fenders?

 

Funny you asked. These just got done today...don't mind the wheels/tires. New ones will be on soon with some spacers until my LT kit is done lol
