    Artemis, Is a 2007 silver Tacoma TRD Sport DCLB that I got in 2014 bone stock.

    I started to add to her in October 2015 after owning it stock for a full year. The first thing I purchased for her was some weather tech front and rear floor mats. I followed that up with ordering a DBcustomz grille insert and an ironman 4x4 20 inch light bar.

    That same day I called Billy at brute force fab and ordered a hybrid front bumper. After waiting 3 weeks I received the bumper, I Had it rhino lined at a local shop and then I installed it.

    Toward the end of November I purchased four 17x10 method race wheels.

    In early December I purchased 4 Dick Cepeck FCII that were 33x12.50.

    After being a lurker here I already knew to fit them with stock suspension I would have to remove the front fenders and cut the frame and body weld a bit.

    Then in January I purchased some Depo headlights along with some OPT7 LED bulbs.

    The most recent thing I have done is install a Procomp 3 inch lift.

    This is just so I have better temporary clearance till I purchase a better suspension. Here soon I will be putting fiber glass fenders on to solve any future clearance issues. And I am currently looking at mid travel suspension systems that can take some abuse and will be upgrading to 35's (since I already cut the fenders, frame, and weld) I will also be doing modifications to the interior to mount firearms. Some will be concealed others will just be a tactical way to carry a rifle in the cab with easy access and out of the way.

    @ManBeast actually I loved the car, I just have always wanted a Tacoma and along with me already having a project 89 supra. I could not justify (which is a smooth way of saying I could not afford a Tacoma and FR-S at the same time) two sports cars.

    So for everyone's sanity I re-did the formatting on this page and my new member page. In my defense I originally posted on my IPhone and the formatting of words and pictures looked great. Once logging on to the computer I wondered why none of you said anything about how bad the layout was!

    @Bimercatracho what kind of other information do you want about it? I have been busy recently with over time at work and the only thing I have got around to is getting the front fenders back on and I haven't even got around to taking a picture of that. I have been designing a inside the cab roof Molle/gun mount and an external cage. Those will be next up within the next few months along with some concealed gun storage.
