2006 Taco: Overland Build

Some pictors. Been slacking lately.

Headunit installed with Bluetooth ghettorigged for now and the backup camera in a temporary spot until the rear bumped gets here.





Out with the old, in with the new. Ended up with OME Nitrocharger suspension with 885 coils for now. Going to need a leafpack in the near future. Even has a little of that Cali-lean going on.

Cali lean is fitting since you're out there!

Thank ya! This weekend the LED bed kit, LED interior lights, Snorkel and CB radio should all be setup. Will probably plastidip the emblems black (versus the silver). Counting down the days till I can paint this thing. Not the largest fan of the red.

Well. Installed the interior lights friday and spent yesterday towing Lillie's car an hour away. Definitely felt like a heavy load. Tow capacity on the tacoma is #6500 and my calculations came to ~#5200 or so. Not a single hiccup, though. All that said I didn't have time to install all of this stuff. Will maybe get around to it tonight but have some work to take care of.

Still need to install the bed lights and snorkel and cb radio. I have all the stuff just haven't had time. Picked up a topper on CL for dirt cheap ($250). The whit doesn't look particularly good but I love having the added security on there. When I get some time I'd love to do all three of these mounts. Looks incredibly efficient!

I'm also most likely going to go down the rabbit hole of building my own storage/drawer system in the months to come. No idea how I'm going to do it but I've been glancing over threads. This guy has an insanely well built one but I think it's out of my league (in terms of skill)...
