Man your Tacoma is beautiful! If I run into you around town sometime expect me to leave you a note! But I love how clean you built it and you kept a strong theme through out your build!

That's one of the best looking Tacos I have seen. I'm sure the fancy pics help but it looks like she's built right.

Thanks bro! I'm trying to keep the build "subtle" with the additions so nothing just looks over the top. As I'm still in the building phase I have a few more things I want to get before I start to take this taco on long excursions.

lol fancy pics.. I can't help but take nice photos - I dabble quite a bit in photography. I can assure you though they don't even do the truck justice sometimes

Any plans for a 2000 Tacoma Aluminum APEX?

Really nice Tacoma and diggin' the new kicks! Excellent photos too, what do you shoot with?

Just curious, are your current wheels the old ones, with the OMF rings removed?

Looks like his old wheels were Method Standards, and the new ones are Method NV beadlocks

It is in the R&D phase right now and they are hoping to have it available by the end of next month. The thread on the Aluminum bumper is on TacomaWorld right now - they are getting set up as a vendor on here within a couple weeks though.

Thanks! I shoot with a Canon 5D MKII and various L lenses.

Old set was the Method standards with OMF Phaze 5 rings.
New set is the Method 105 series beadlocks. (OMF rings coming soon)

Thanks for the help in response! I am slow sometimes lol

Spent the day doing a little fishing, mountain biking and just relaxing out in the Sundance area of Utah.

Wow a wonderful build so far. Can't wait for the real mil-spec add-ons for this Taco. What kind of wrap pattern are you going with? Or is it going to be a solid color? Kryptek would be pretty ************.

I need to get on the ball on the wrap design for sure!

Kryptek would be so sweet!

I want to wrap the whole truck in a solid matte color and then have the camo come in at random areas like a 3/4 camo fill (this is what I am trying to get figured out).

Nice looking Tacoma!!! I look forward to seeing all of it come together, trailer and all.

 

[KAILUAZ]

+1 for the Kryptek, that would be pretty sick.

When I was building one of my Mustangs I had the interior done in the real deal OD canvass. The smell was great! I cant wait to see how your turns out.
