so my first truck was a 97 extra cab 4banger

then i joined the coast guard and decided that it was time to upgrade. so when while i was home on leave i took a trip down to san diego and looked at a couple different tacomas. ended up with an 06 4door longbed SR5 4wd, it came with a trd exhaust, trd skid plate and a billet grill.
my first couple days with it.

then i proceded to drive it from Orange County, Ca all the way to Cape Canveral, fl where i was stationed. i started my mods slowly there. first thing i installed was a trd CAI.

finished product

so i took her out and broke her in with some wheeling with some of the guys off of the florida bs thread

while i was on the boat i didnt make very much so i did little things to my truck to get it closer to being a storm trooper. so i blacked out my grill, wheels, tail lights, valence, and hood scoop. and since i almost ripped off my side steps i took those off. i also added a set of jba shorty headers (that i got off of TW) and had them put on.

then i got transfered to Airsta Clearwater

so when i got there i really started to picking stuff up for my truck. i started with getting some billies and eibachs (off of TW) and toytec AAL, as well as some light racing ucas that i got from a group buy on here. and 4 terra grapplers (285/70/17) from a guy on craigslist, and pretty much stole them from the guy got all four for $150.

then i did the fog light anytime mod, that was pretty easy to do. i decided to finish off the storm trooper theme and and get some bhlm and install those, hella 500s with hid conversions(off of TW) and a storm trooper head decal that i got from Sockmonkey.

and some poser shots

I'll have to look up the 400w anytime mod.. good idea!

 

[uscg2008]

Ya a bunch of Tacoma guys have it done its not like I use it all the time, but I have a little one and once she is old enough I know it will be nice to run a mini DVD player or charge an iPad or something. Plus them make head rest mounts for iPads.

 

[uscg2008]

Things on the list to do before a possible aug tacomaworld meet are: fix my ADD so I can have 4lo, in stall my OMDs, get sme 14in 650# coils, install my new super bumps front and rear and cab mount chop.

Hey I'm in the Coast Guard too.
Dig your rig, looks like you put a lot of time into it.

 

[uscg2008]

Thanks man I've had it for about 3 yrs now and have slowly added to it. It will never be done hahahah. Where u stationed at?

 

[Lecoq]

Love your truck! Any rubbing in the front with the 285's?

 

[uscg2008]

Right now yes but cab mount chop is in the works right now, but I only rub a bit or if I'm flexing with the tires at the right angle

Ex-Coastie here (used to be stationed in Cordova) just wanted to say nice work on the lights behind the grille! I tried to do that on my old winter beater, and they set the grille on fire when I was driving.

Whoops.
