    Nice truck! My build page will be updated about a week from today if you want to check it out. Right now it's completely out of date. Go MN!

    :wave: It doesn't have a whole lot of activity. I'm trying to keep it alive though. If nothing else it's a good way to meet people out here.

    What's up everyone,

    I'm in Minnesota and here's my toy. As you'll see it's pretty much stock at this point. I have a few things in the plans (budget willing). I'm damn excited about this truck though, I've been saving for (what seems like) a long time for this bad boy.

    Here's what I've done:
    Fog lights anytime mod
    LED interior lights
    Beerbottle opener in the bed mod
    new vinal badges by ruggedT (http://tinyurl.com/lymcycv)

    Here's the Plan:
    El Cheapo Heated Mirrors mod
    beer bottle holder in the bed mod (i've not seen anyone do this yet here...so i'll post pics when i figure it out)
    black out the badging and any place there's chrome
    N-Fab light bar
    3 Hella 700FF driving lights
    wheels (black and looking for suggestions)
    DISCOVERER A/T3; 275/70R17's (E class)
    add a leaf and level the front
    front end skid plate

    I was just at Gilbert for the first time last weekend. I had fun but I ended up with a few new scratches.

    No rock damage but sliders and armor have moved to the top of my future mods list.

    Does anyone have any good recommendations for trails at Gilbert that a nearly stock Tacoma can handle. Currently my truck is leveled with 5100s and 265-75 duratracs. I'm hoping to get up there again before the snow comes and explore more of the trails.

    good point.

    wheels and tires with 5300 miles on them: maybe $900?

    that would be for all 5 wheels/tires too, fyi

    Hey guys, family is growing so sadly have to let my Tacoma go, moving onto a 4runner.
    Have a couple of budget friendly mods if anyone is interested:
    1) EGR hood shield/bug deflector ($60 new - selling for $30)

    Although they do look good on your truck, I just cant see them on mine. Any chance your looking to get rid of the in-channel deflectors? Those, I can definately see on my truck!

    unfortunately I left those on the truck when I traded it in, didn't want to mess with the windows as they had double sided tape on them. They were nice as they are the slim version, so they dont stick out and attach easily, got them from autoanything for around $60 I think.
