That is an awesome rig, you are one lucky dude. I'd love to see it in person if we ever cross paths.



Thanks man. I am usually not one to buy something so finished, but we just recently bought a house with limited garage space and didnt wanna get to far into building my tacoma and end up having to fight fabrication space.

I am really looking forward to hopefully meets and trips with members on here. Met a lot of good people through wheeling. Cheers
 
Since it wont let me post a thread yet, here is what I did today. I bought this off of one of the nicest dudes Ive ever done business with whose a member on here.

Ol'Blue thanks again.I come from a long toyota background but have recently been building up my 2nd generation Tacoma. This was a big jump for me, but am so ready to dig in and wheel this thing.

Looking forward to being a part of this forum. Cheers guys.:drummer:
Nice buy, worth it imo

Tested my suspension. Hauled 5 Caribou (750 lbs) on my roof rack and around 800 lbs of gear in my rear cargo area over roughly 40 miles of Alaskan backcountry. Couple of takeaways / notes. 1) 750 lbs is the max weight I'd put on our roof 2) While the Superflex springs did well, I'd like to find something a little stiffer that had the same lift. 3) Man do I love my T4R!

Maintenance...

Head cover gaskets, and replaced full moon seals which were seeping a bit. I've been running down a transmission issue with little success so I needed a win...
 
Went to my local Toyota stealerrship to get a quick oil change because I didn't have time to get to it myself for the first time in about 40k miles. Service writer jumps in my truck and starts to jaw drop stare at all the mods to the interior. Asks about what else is modded mechanically and after the run down (dual batteries, Tundra brakes, Highlander springs, ect) he says the service takes about an hour then takes my truck to the back. No problem. After about an hour and 30 minutes in the waiting room i go back out to the guy and say politely, " i really have to get my daughter from daycare wheres my ride"? Just then it pulled up outside. As I am cashing out I fearfully ask the guy what took so long, did they find any issues? He says, "not at all. Actually I won't lie, all the techs and I wanted to look at your truck to see everything you had done to it and lost track of time". As a sense of pride washed over me and I told the guy it was cool, I walked out of the garage bay and see 2 more employees pointing and talking about my truck again. RAD



Feels good right?
 
Put in a new head unit tonight. Very easy with the plug and play harness.
Only thing that stumped me was the ground, but after a quick search on here I got it figured out!
Pioneer FH-X730BS. Very affordable upgrade from stock and made a huge difference in sound quality.
Edit: Stock unit is for sale btw
