Taco Ron's "Like a Boss" Build

I like it, very clean install. What kind of lights/part is that?

 

Thanks.

I love what you've done with it. VERY NICE!

 

Great looking truck, super clean job!

 

Cool setup!

 

How did you mount the LEDs to the hood? And where did you run the wires? Looks great! Adding the LEDs and hood struts to my ever-growing list...

 

^ I used some good 3M double sided tape. The wires run through the supports on the bottom of the hood. I then drilled a small hose on the driver's side of the hood, so the wires can come out of the hood and run along the hinge into the engine bay. You just have to be careful not to allow the wires to get pinched when the hood is opened and closed.

I recently picked up a mercury switch for the lights and will post up pictures once its installed.

 

Finally got my mercury switch put in for the underhood lights.





How the wires are run:

 

Where did you get that bed net. I like the idea of using it for groceries.

 

I don't even remember. Found it somewhere.

 

Added a Dynomax muffler. Went with the 17747 and installed myself. Still need to put a turn down on it later. Overall, the sound is great. Definately not stock, but not too loud either. I'm satisfied.









and . . .

working on something else right now. A little preview:

 

I finally got a spare set of headrests (from a single cab) to hack into and put my old monitors to use. My only complaint is that the posts are so far to the back of the headrest that the bottoms of the monitors stick out slightly instead of sitting flush. Its not that noticeable once in the car and the seats are properly tilted back. And my kids didn't seem to care a bit. My little DIY write up can be found here:

I also added a solenoid valve and momentary switch for a future air horn . . . I wanted the switch to be somewhat hidden and I'm happy with my location. For now, its simply a way to blow down my tank and get that cool air ride sound. B)

 

I wasn't happy with the placement of my air pressure gauge so I decided on something different:









and if you don't like red:

 

Wow. Loving the truck.

 

where did ya get those rear plate bulbs? whats the part #, lookin good!

 

They are a 194 bulb. I got mine from here:

I think I got the first or second ones on the page.

 

thanks!

 

Finally got my new mats:





Love them! Now I just need some seat covers so I can keep the kid's footprints off of the backs of my seats.

 

Where did you get the paint for the eyelids? Im gonna do the same thing but I want a close match in color (my taco is silver also) ... Your truck is bad ass! I wish I had the knowledge and skill do do those modifications.

 

great build! but heres a dumb question...i just picked up my truck and wanted to buy those plugs for my front lic. plate holder. where the heck can i get a pair? it looks horrible with the two holes.
