my truck was in a minor front end collision while a family member was driving it through my neighborhood. perfect time to upgrade...

busted junk

camber, anyone??

well hello there... what might you be?

oh hai.

lift should show up next week sometime, so once i get another nice day or a warm garage to work in, i'll put that on and take more pictures.

Looking good. Plan on rewiring some fogs in there somewhere?

NESW20 · 01-08-2011, 05:52 PM

yes, but to be honest, i hardly used my factory fogs. i do want fog lights again, but i need to spend the $200-300 elsewhere first (rear springs, rock sliders, skid plates).

NESW20 · 01-18-2011, 03:58 AM

still needs rear springs, but it's coming along nicely.

i'll get better pictures soon.

thats really looking good man

my dads got one with a canopy on the back, 2 HUGE spot lights on the front and a nudge bar, he had it raised as much as possible from factory but i reakon he'd change up the front to with a full bull bar infront of it if it wernt a company car

btw a big fkn LOL at the random pile of sand in the background hahaha LOVE IT!

NESW20 · 01-18-2011, 10:15 AM

that's snow.

thanks for the compliments! i'm really glad that at least something good is coming out of my truck getting hit.

RRnold · 01-18-2011, 05:26 PM

I think the ones on this baja taco are 33's! I have 265's on a "hoes" but going to try either 285's or even 305's since I currently have 16" wheels. Might even upgrade to long travel if you're interested in my coilovers and rear shocks.

I have the Demello rock sliders too since they are located SoCal. Definitely some good quality products

NESW20 · 01-18-2011, 07:20 PM

yeah, next time i need tires, i might look at some 285s on the 16s. however, i might want a 4.5" backspacing for those.

i'll have to pass on the coilovers and shocks, thanks though! just keeping it simple with the OME.

i'll probably end up with the All-pro sliders as well, but i do really like the demello stuff. i've been on their site many many times, hehe.

next planned mods are rear springs and i'll paint the stock wheels black. of course i'll post pictures when it happens.

RRnold · 01-18-2011, 08:57 PM

right on! from what I've been reading on the taco forums, with the stock fenders, 285's on 16's is the best route.

I eventuallyl want to upgrade to a long travel setup. There are a lot of nice 05+ Tacomas with the baja look which makes it hard not to do.

This is a perfect setup right here! This thing looks so sweet with the Walker Evan wheels. He's running 315's!
