NEW TACOMA - 08/2016 - current
I've taken over my old Tacoma thread with the new Tacoma. They're just about the same truck anyway, other than color and the new one (red one) came as a 4x4 so I didn't have to convert it.
Here's what it was like the day it arrived:
2003 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab 4x4, V6, TRD
86,666 miles
255/85r16 Cooper ST Maxx on factory TRD wheels. 3/4 life left.
OME lift w/ Nitrocharger Sport Shocks and 882 coils.
Rear OME Leafs with overload leaf
All Pro upper A arms
All Pro U bolt flip with Timbren bump stops
Weld in 3 degree rear axle shims
Front diff spacer kit to improve CV angle
Dakota Digitial speedo recalibrator has speedometer within .5MPH
Bud Built front skid plate
Tundra 13WL calipers and rotors with stainless braided lines
ARB front bumper
PIAA 520 driving lights
All Pro rear tube bumper with drop hitch
All Pro Bedrack with Hi-lift mount and custom water can holder (2x 3gal water cans and 48" Hi-Lift included)
Blue Sea Aux Fuse Box w/ Circuit breaker
Blue Sea Aux plug wired with 10 gauge wire to back seat for ARB fridge, etc
Uniden CB mounted in ash tray slot
Kenwood front door speakers
RAAM mat and ensolite sound dampening installed in all four doors, back wall, and floor

Currently (05/2017):
OLD TACOMA - 08/2012 - 06/2014
STARTED:
2002 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab PreRunner, V6, TRD
-100,600 Miles
-Fabtech 3.5 in. lift kit/ dirt logic racing shocks
-BFgoodrich 33 in. mud terrain tires (just about done for...)
-Dessert rat powder coated black 16X8 wheels
-K&N 77 series cold air intake
-Magnaflow cat-back exhaust system
-2x8 in. premier pioneer subwoofers
-custom subwoofer enclosure
-Alpine 500 watt amplifier
-Alpine CDA-9883 head unit w/XM satellite antenna
Immediate plans include:
-baseline fluids
-timing belt, water pump, etc etc
-pulling the K&N stuff and putting the stock air stuff back on (lucky for me he still had it all)
-New tires (and probably wheels too)
-keyless entry (why oh why is it so hard to find the rs3200 for the 2002 model?!?!?)
Long-term plans:
-rear frame plates
-tent/bike mount over bed
-roof tent
-replace fabtech/dirtlogic with OME all around
-4wd conversion (i may hold off on this until I go for my ultimate FJ80 axles conversion one day... [emoji14] )
-and snorkel and bumpers and whatever else it takes to pretty much make it the Tacoma twin of my old 3rd Gen 4Runner
