I've never had a lifted truck before so one of the very first thing I think everyone should do is...



After playing in the mud for a little while I decided to upgrade the intake and exaust. I added the AFE ProDry Stage 2 intake and the Thrush glass pack. Sounds great!!!



I needed some sound in the Tacoma so I added a Kenwood DDX512. Grounded the DVD player so I can watch movies anytime. (Works great wen you have other people in the truck for road trips)



Then I did what any Tacoma owner should do , and messaged Bob.




Added the Bull Bar and did the BHLM.



After a few romps in the mud I decided that the 295/75r16 Nitto Terra Grapplers were not the tires for me. I upgraded to the 285/75r16 Mickey Thompson MTZ Baja



As you can see, the MTZ tires work a lot better in the mud.





I thought that the truck needed a little Maryland flare and had some custom stickers made.





Purchased a ToyWerx Satoshi from the one who they call HomerTaco.

Took some random shots with my 2 hotties!!

Added the roof rack.


Since the roof rack creates so much down force, I became a RACE TRUCK!! Got a ticket.

Won a contest and got some pretty sweet lights from BlitzPro.


Took the truck to his family reunion.


Added the Spyder halo Headlights.


Needed something more cozy to sit on in the bed so I got some asto turf and cut it to shape.


Got Married on June 8th, 2013 (wife secretly took a photo with the truck.. Bad Ass!!)


... and so did my best man and I.


Did some more wheeling at Rausch Creek.


Hand Painted the TOYOTA logo.


Hella 700ff behind the grille.


I am real weird about thing looking stealth so I added a 12v plug behing the kick plate and hid the GPS wire.


Didn't like all the chrome in the lights so I BHLM them too. Upgraded the Halos as well.




Then the time came to upgrade the entire suspension.


Got the springs powder coated the same blus as the bud light can and painted the UCA's to make them stand out just a little.




Installed and added a bud light can on the rear.




Finally installed my new seat covers I bought through the group buy. I have always wanted these seat covers and now that I have them I say that they are a must in any vehicle. they are super soft and form fitting. They really look great.

Traded a member Hella 700ff's for a UltraGauge.

REPAIRS TO DATE.

Currently 143,000 miles

75,000 Passenger wheel bearings.
95,000 Driver side wheel bearings.
115,000 rebuilt drive shaft due to bad U-Joints.
130,000 replaced original battery with Duralast gold.
152,000 URD headers due to failing catalytic converters.

I never miss a service. I believe the key to making a vehicle last is that if you want to play hard you MUST keep your vehicle in check. If you hear a noise or something out of the ordinary you should check it out and address it accordingly.
 
Thanks guys. I just installed the headers and ypipe last Saturday. Holy **** it's loud!!
 
Still haven't made one. Honestly I am debating on putting the stock ypipe back on. It's really loud. Like almost obnoxious loud.
