My First Mod "Dealership Installed Revtek 3" Lift Kit:

This was the first mod I did to the truck, actually I drove it off the lot with the lift kit already installed.

This was when they were just finishing up the install:

The day I drove it off the Lot Decmber 14th 2013

6,000K HID Conversion

This was my second mod

Before changing to HID:

During the works:

And Done:

I know this question might come up here so I'll give the information just now. I used H11 bulbs for both Low Beams and Fog Lights. I know the Manual says H16 for the Fog Lights but they aren't, they are H11s

Lookin good. Where's a pic with the duratracs???

New Tires & Tint

The last mods I kinda got them all together, My Tires, Tint & Remote Starter.

This is the end result of all the mods combined

Pictures were taken during christmas in Canmore Alberta

This was back at the garage just fixing one of the HIDs that had a loose connection.

Truck looks badass with the lift and duratracs. Love the red too.

Nice looking truck, man. I like this version of red over the past maroonish reds on the previous years.

I just got my Thule Ski Rack Installed yesterday:

Awesome rig brother! Really has me wishing I waited for the redesign. Lift and tires make a huge difference and really makes that front end look mean. If Toyota bombs the redesign for the 15 Tacoma I may have to think about trading.

What lift are you running?

Thanks!!

Thanks I appreciate the comments, I'm doing some research to see what will my next mod be. I'm thinking maybe Change all the interior lighting to white LEDs

Do it!! One of the easiest and cheapest mods that makes a helluva difference. The only ones that gave me problems were the front map lights. ended up using a small twist tie to wrap around the light and yank out.

LOL - I had the same problem (in my Tundra).
Solution:

Place small strips of the foam-y 3M double-sided tape on both surfaces of needle-nose pliers. Provides some adhesion/friction and a bit of cushion

Pics of the 30" LED Light Bar Behind the Grill

Hey man please send some pics when you get the LED bar installed behind the grill, I'd like to see how it looks. I've been doing some research on that and I found a web site that selld the LED bars with smoked lenses so when you install them behind the grill is hard to tell they are there and I like that. But I'm not sure if that will affect the brightness of the light

Sure thing. I have to find someone that will make a custom mount to hold it up. Currently the grill is 6 inches tall and it is 5 inches above the actual bumper. I need to find someone that will come up with some sort of mounting brackets first.

This is how I'm planning my LED bars to go

Of course in behind the grill, I haven't actually measured the openings to see what I can fit in there but I was thinking maybe 2 10" LED Light Bars. And I want the ones with the smoked lenses.
