Turdy :: 2010 Toyota Tacoma (2013-03-02 01:41:07)

I created another since you can only upload a few pics. I will just host them from photobucket. Also I cannot upload pics from my pc. It worked yesterday but not anymore.

First I'll start with what I traded in to get my Taco:

2003 Ford Ranger 4wd 4.0 5 speed. Decent truck if it could keep from killing the slave cylinder. I traded in at 150K miles still running strong.

Gotta love losers that can't get a job

Now onto the good stuff. New Taco the day I got it

My quad barely fits

Banks Monster Exhaust

I ditched the Banks and went with a TRD exhaust

Redline Tuning hood struts

Daytime installed pics:

Night pics. I tried to get all the same shots before and after. I have an issue with the dome light but it is getting replaced(thanks LJ). 6 out of the 24 LEDs on the dome are not as bright as the rest. I had to put on sun glasses to see what was going on. Each LED emits light from 3 spots. The 6 that are not as bright only emit light from one spot. So keep in mind that 6 LEDs in the dome are not at maximum brightness.

This is a white stage 2 kit:

Stock dome from driver's door

Keep in mind that only 18 out of the 24 LEDs in the dome are at maximum brightness.

JP Metal Fab Tie Down Brackets

Pop N' Lock Tailgate Lock

265/75 Goodyear Duratracs. They fit with no rubbing at all. I haven't been offroad yet so I don't know if they will rub at full compression. The trucks feels squirley so I did the chalk test. It looks like they were overinflated at 35 psi so I dropped them to stock pressure and I'll chalk them tomorrow. There is less road noise and just a bit of tire noise.

Out with the derp lower dash and in with the better lower dash.

Thanks. I used to drive a lot so I just wanted to make my truck a comfortable place to be in. Lift and junk can come later.

I probably would've been smarter and better off that way too since mine is my only vehicle, but i dont have very good discipline when it comes to such things i do want a set of those seat covers though.

So I saw a iPad mount. Ram Mount?

 

[Manwithoutaplan]

Yes it works pretty well.

 

[whippersnapper02]

Does it get in the way of the passenger and can you remove it easily if needed? I kinda want one for my Galaxy Tab.

Truck looks good man! I wish I could run that aggressive of a tire, damn my work commute.:censored:

Thanks.

I would commute 62 miles a day on these. I have about 40K miles on them without issue. They did have slight cupping issues but I don't know if that was an alignment issue or an air pressure issue.

no it does not get in the way and it is held down by the seat anchor bolt. Very easy to remove, if you have 10mm laying around.
