2002 Toyota Tacoma

 

V6, 5-speed, 4x4, 6" Fabtech lift, 35" ATs (had to use a sledgehammer to clearance the wheelwells), and a Dixie horn. I'd love to get an ARB air locker, since the diffs are open/open, and a stout winch bumper at some point.

Latest change: Driving home one night with the KC DayLighters on, I realized there was a lot of vibration from one of the beams. Looking at it the next day, the metal housing had rusted and cracked at the mounting post. So off came the lights and brush guard one afternoon. Something popped in my head at 3am that night, and I took a hacksaw to the grill while holding a flashlight. After making new housings for the spotlights, they are now recessed quite cleanly into grill on either side of the modified toyota skull n' crossbones emblem.

The day I brought the beast home. It has since been stripped of all the logos, and is just a tad bit dirtier.
