Ok, so I have been lurking around here for a year now and thought I'd post up pics of my truck and what I have done so far.

When I bought it, she was a stock 02 Tacoma TRD Access Cab,3.4/v-6, Auto,E-locker and 4:10's,265x70x16 BFG At's. Since buying her a year ago I have done the following to her:

1.Suspension:

Front: Saw's 2nd Gen 2.0 Coilovers cranked to 2 3/4"

Rear: All Pro 5" Rear Leaf packs w/5150 10" Bilistien Resevior shocks Have settled to a solid 3"
Extended Rear brake SS berake lines
Axle relocate pads

2. Armor:

Front: CBI Front Custom Winch bumper, 3/16" steel plate
re-enforced with 1" square tubing on the inside, 3/4"
recovery tabs.


Belly: BudBuilt Front and Mid skid plates, Custom transfercase
crosmember and skid plate.

Side: Trail gear sliders

Rear: Coming soon (All Pro Rear bumper)

3. Electrical:
Usual easy mods have been done to the truck. I have 8 rock lights, 2 Hella 500's, Extra fuse block w/12 open slots, Battery Kill switch w/key, Optima yellow top. Cobra Cb.

4. Storage:

In the bed: 2-20mm ammo cans for tools, 1 storage box for spare axles and fluids,recovery gear.

Roof Rack: Ultimate Air 15lb. tank, Spare tire, Extreme Hi-Lift
Jack, Max ax tool set, 2-5 gal fresh water Jerry cans and 4-5gal gas Jerry cans.
It measures 60"x42"x6".

5. Tires: Cooper Discoverer STT 285x75x16 on Wheelers Type B Black steel rims. Will be looking into 255x85x16 STT once these are worn.

6. Future Mods:

1.Rear bumper
2. Hella 4000's or Lightforce 240's can't make my mind
up
3. Dual battery setup
4. 4:88's an ARB front locker
5. Storage and sleeping platform in bed
6. Engel freeze/fridge setup
7. ARB Snorkel (too much water around here not to
have one
8. Lowrance 540c Baja GPS/ Yaesu FT-2800M
9. All Pro Uniball UC's

Should have pics posted soon.

In the above pics the rear end looks kinda high due to the new springs, they have now settled to about 3" in height. Here are a couple flex pics I took right after the suspension went on, that is a 2 ft. wall I'm resting my tire on.

Would be glad to hear any advice, pointers,suggestions you might have.

I live Massachusetts so the truck was built for the terrain around here. If I can convince the wife we will be moving out to Arizona in the next couple years.
