I'm putting on an OME 2.5" lift onto an '03 Toyota Tacoma Dbl Cab. Adding an ARB Bullbar, Blacking out the wheels, Tundra Wheels, 285/75R16 BFG ATs on for a customer this week! She's excited, I may be just as excited to see this come together!

Here's todays progress, arrived from picking up the truck in Pittsburgh at noon 45 minutes later, we had a 285/75R16 on to test the fit.

Removed the front mudflaps and may need to reshape some plastic inner fender for now or at full stuff.

Next we picked up the wheels and tires, 16" Tundra wheels and BFG AT's. The wheels look almost the same, except with a Sombrero delete and the good ol' fashioned Toyota text.
Installed them.

Install and send her on her way to Uhaul so she can move from MPLS to Little Rock, AR

Stay tuned and feel free to offer tips or suggestions. Sadly no time for an Expedition Ops Taco Bumper

I have more images and another write up at Expedition Ops and at the facebook page below.
 
No winch or lights yet. She has those planned for down the road after the RTT, fridge,...

With all the snow we are getting now this thing won't be clean for long!
 
Thanks to Toyota of America, the Tacoma got a fresh undercoating on the frame... Which meant I was covered head to tow in black tar... Other than that, the build went well, check it out!

The OME/Dakar suspension went in well. The old leafs didn't come out without a fight! Fortunately, A Toyota dealer in town had the parts I was cutting out. Lots of rust repair in this job, and while the paint was out, we killed almost everything shiny on this truck. I'm pretty happy with it!

Its late, this has been a long weekend and I'm going to bed, more pics at facebook and a write up on my blog. Enjoy! Thanks for all the help, search function!
