Delivery

Bragged a little at work

Wasted no time taking it from the dealership to the trails in the mountains.

Doing some truck work:

New Focal 6x9 component speakers up front

Added some whine with a supercharger (supposed to be 305 hp/335 ft-lb torque)

Upgraded to 265/75R16 KO2 tires and again, wasted no time to muddy them.

6.5 inch Focals for the rears

Short folk need steps. Needed to muddy them quickly, of course

Running Civic duties

Time to color-match the chrome grill

Grabbed better storage for the toys

Blacked out badges. Did I mention this is a slow build?

Test fitting new wheels

Me, my brother, nephew, and dad with our trucks

Wheels look good!

 

[Dar-Dar]

I love it! The Taco Truck will look really good with those wheels.

My brother needs a SC for his 2009 Taco Truck. Reason: None.

Looked great stock, looks even cooler now!

Like the build. Interested to see what you end up doing to it in the future.

 

[NoMoreNissans]

love it

tacomas are my favourite

+1 to nice wheels. The stockers had to go.

 

[FooBird]

Yeah. The stock tires were junk but I was impatient and rather than wait for the setup I wanted, I just put new tires on the stock wheels. My pocket book will end up eating that one.

 

[FooBird]

You don't think you'd feel it too much but 15 lbs of weight reduction on each of the wheels livened things back up. Feels less of a tank.

wheels and tires look really nice

 

[bootyluvr]

Very Nice!

Looks good. I am jealous. I didn't realize you had the truck as long as you have. I thought you recently got it.

I thought you recently got it.

^ This. I thought the same thing lol It's almost 2 years.

Maybe he doesn't like to brag about his stuff. Prefers to keep it low profile.
