    Long story but it was the right thing to do at the time but then plans changed drastically and the original plan didn't end up happening. IF I build this new one up, I'm throwing a D60/D70 under it and 40" tires.

    Not much changed on the truck, as being an Off Road TRD goes everywhere right from the show room! However, because I do use the four wheel drive, a few things were done or have happened!

    Dec. 2009:

    2010Tacoma011_dae7eb59a72b7d037f852e8b5561613e896de7d3.jpg

    2010Tacoma004_713051a82aa3f141ce22a408dea1c858a23994a6.jpg

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    In the 1 1/3 year I have had this truck, the only changes have been:
    1) Remove the mud flaps, (that break off anyway) and the trailering cable socket below the bumper.
    2) Add the light bar made for my 2005 Tacoma.
    3) Improve the bar and add two more lights.
    4) Rear Differential breather mod. & spare tire mod. (flipping it over).
    5) 32" Hankook Dynapro ATMs


    May 2010 (snagged bumper on rock):

    SHENANIGANS! By saying "Now", you are giving the ilusion your truck is actually drivable. Last I heard, it was once again broken.

    Broken, but I can drive it around. Strictly cosmetic issues currently, which is a huge step in the right direction!
