Thread: 2006 tacoma build "the bucket"

Stock, i didnt care about offroading, i was just happy to have it.

Not too long after discovered the holy jim and "the puddle"

Wet pavement, testosterone, tree, and a challenge that trucks cant drift........truck was only 4 months old

After alot of procrastination, and a little prep work

Got me a bumper................:xrainbow: and stripped the paint off the flares


tree took my rear bumper so....


Got rims+BFG's, front rubbed like mofo. At the same time some fiberglass and more prep work and threw my stock bumper back on. And bought a TuRD skid.

The rubbing was not cool, so i made a call to wheelers..........this is where i start noticing the downward $$$$ spiral




Door gets a good banging at a parking lot

Needed something to hold lights in the rear.Look nice and neat..........until you look under my hood

Threw some old school Hella's on a Defiant lightbar and mounted it on. Fixed my door too.

Stock interior gets too dirty, so had to swap it out. I <3 my mom

Had to get some UCA's and Spindles

Skid served it purpose. Frame tweaked.


Needed something a little stronger..........called mpower (mike) and had this done. One of those Hellas fell off, time to look into some soltek's.

not long after going on a lucerne run with brock mark and chaz did i realize co's and spindles could not compete with lt


so i gave ryan @ camburg a call

may require some sanding........

Thanks to Tim and Joe @ DMZ
THE TRUCK IS DONE..............i thought





Found a deal on a chromoly bedcage that came off the same model taco as mine, i figured im going SUA eventually, might as well do it.

Then Ryan calls me saying they now have spindles, and i could never say no to him haha

again Tim hooks it up clean and sick.

something was missing...........BED SIDES and a light box for 3 oval led's

again Tim hooks it up



then found some fox 16 x2.5 shocks for the rear



the bedcage came rhino lined so i spent a day stripping it and repainting it.



Waiting on tax returns to finally go SUA, and valve the front and rear
