2009 Tacoma Build Thread

A week or so ago, I purchased a 2009 Tacoma double cab, long bed 4x4. It only has the TRAC system, not the A-TRAC. I believe that should suffice for what I'm wanting. To my knowledge it still has LSD front and rear.

My plans: Tint the windows, add 265/75r16 all-terrain tires, Bestop or Soft Topper, fog lights, on board air, maybe a snorkel and roof rack, upgrade stock suspension with better parts, but no lift.

I don't need it for super long excursions, just for hauling my canoe in and out of the Everglades, hunting public land in Central Florida, drives to Maryland, Texas, and Georgia for more hunting trips.

Any recommendations that some of you think I should add or not add?

I have a ground tent that seems to serve me well for the time being.

Here is a picture of it the day I bought it

Got the windows tinted, new tires, and a couple of stickers to stand out from all the tree huggers down here in S. Florida.

Today, I plasti dipped the wheels. Looks much better than spray paint, or the original chrome. Next step, a camper shell. I took it out camping a few times now, but keep forgetting to take pictures of it in its element.
