SkyHighTacoma build

Put on some Redline Tunning hood struts

 

tinted front two windows myself 35% and painted the locking hub dials black:

just a cool pic:

 

Nice truck but would look better with some armor ; )

 

Got all of the metal for my bumper build today, useing 1/4" angle iron for the crossmember/base and 2" x 2" .125 1/8" wall square tubing. I took off my stock bumper (now in the trash) and got the crossmember/base built and installed today so I can start welding onto that.

 

cool.

 

I like the color, i don't see much white taco, nice truck.

 

you don't see much white? is that a joke?

 

Got all the white painted black.

 

hurry up and get that new grill and make that bumper! those pics aint gonna look good without them haha

 

Messed up my stock grille, and out with a few friends:


Ordered a new one already painted black:


Moved the blue led's under the seat (crappy pic but you get the idea, and it does light up the front floor board):

 

Got some work done on the front bumper:

 

Got some more done:

 

Painted a TOYOTA badge black and put it under the headlight.

 

an idea for your back up lights, mount them on top of the bed behind the cab, that way you dont lose them when you lose ground clearance thats where my gpa has his mounted, im gonna do the same when i finally get my taco i like the cut out bumper too, the one im goin to look at this weekend has a crack in the center of the bumper, saves me from replacing it. i love the ideas i find on here!!!

 

Thanks, I would put the lights there if I wasnt buying a camper shell lol.

 

Cool truck. Really like what you have done. I have been thinking about painting those two chrome pieces on the front bumper black on my truck. How did you paint those? And how has it held up?

Thanks. And they held up good. Just sanded cleaned and painted.

 

Got the brackets and support bars welded on:
Bracket:

Support bar:

Now I just gotta weld on a light hoop with lights tabs and two more pieces going from the front bottom mount angled to the main bar and bedline the whole thing.

 

Sorry for the crappy picture, will have better ones tomorrow hopefully. But light hoop with light tabs is next.

 

Welded on the light hoop:



Next is light tabs and paint and mount my Hellas.
