    2019 White Access Cab
    About a year ago I got myself my first truck, a white 2019 "used" sr access cab with only 3 miles on the odometer. f9fa6db4-c972-4688-9679-5bd0cafe9352.jpg 0c840b95-b34b-410c-bea4-adc7242e73b9.jpg
    There were a few things that I immediately did not like about the truck, such as the black front bumper, OEM grill, and stock wheels.
    My first 'official' mod to the taco was the good ole blacked-out tailgate lettersfa5e9976-0084-4ad0-9eb5-d66b85a6d23d.jpg

    But the first real mod was adding a set of running boards and upgrading those wheels! I went with American Racing AR202's (They look great and weren't too expensive)fcd9f72b-e02e-42cc-88e3-0d0da8685f82.jpg
    Next, I removed the air-damn/chin strap to get the front end a slightly more aggressive look and added a TRD styled grill to replace the, in my opinion, nasty chrome grill

    After a hiatus on mods, or in other words, time to let my bank account recover, I finally added some new tires, I went with Falken Wildpeaks in a 265/75/r16 (wheels are super dirty in the pic )f2148b00-b7c8-4384-af47-5fc0026bef32.jpg 00b4eb4c-96e4-409e-a462-e5ad4d0c5f20.jpg
    And most recently (also my favorite part of the build so far) replacing the black front bumper! and some chrome delete. I bought a used white front bumper off of eBay for super cheap and installed it along with some Tacomabeast headlights and added some Cali-Raised ditch lights!... the only issue with the front bumper is that it has fender flare holes, however, I tried looking on eBay and Tacoma World for months with no luck, I probably could have painted the bumper I got with the truck but I'm lazy and got the one-off eBay for super cheap, I honestly don't mind the fender flare holes at all I'm just so happy it's color-matched now!

    As you can see from the side-by-side, its a completely different truck. And it's finally ready to take on some minor dirt. All that's really left is my Bilstein 5100 install, exhaust upgrade, and a skid plate than ill be able to take on some trails that this thing could have NEVER done stock.
    Let me know what you guys think or if you have some recommendations for the build that's always appreciated!

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    I’d paint that hood black so f’n fast. Wrap it; do something. Edit: do the roof, too. Extend the black over the top of the grille

    I like the white, too; with a black hood and keep up the good work!
