NEW BACK-UP LIGHTS!!!
Bought from Cabelas. This Kit had all of the wiring and the switch (but I changed it) and 2 - 55 Watt back up lights

chadshlong2002's 2005 Toyota Tacoma K&N Air Intake, Yes, it can be done!! Use the K&N Intake for the 2003 Toyota 4runner with the 4.0L engine and it will work with only extreme minor modification! Sweet!

If you haven't noticed I lifted my taco with a Revtek 3" Suspension Lift chadshlong2002's 2005 Toyota Tacoma chadshlong2002's 2005 Toyota Tacoma

Also I put on 285/70R17 BFGoodrich All Terain Tires. These measure 32.8" Tall, just shy of 33". These are the largest tire size I think you can fit on the stock 17" rim, and even these rub a small bit on the inside of the frame when turning the wheel all of the way. Fixed the rubbing problem today 12/26/04 by puting in some 1/4" spacers I bought at Pep Boys, how sweet it is!!This truck was just lifted on 12/22/04 and I put on the tires 12/24/04. I still have to figure things out since nobody around here has lifted a new Taco yet.

GREAT TOYOTA...I wondered where the spacers go? /BRAND / COST AND EASY OR DIFFICULT INSTALL? I just bought a Tacoma that have the same stock wheels...and I want to put 285/75 r17, I have the Revtek lift kit. Any information would be greatly appreciated.Thanks

dude, where did you get your headrest monitors from? did you do that custom yourself? i've only seen leather ones, while your's seems to be the same fabric as the seats. LMK, thanks!

i really like the truck and what you have done i also installed a double din and made my box as well. the one 12" is not enough for me and since i left the plastic in on the back wall i get alot of rattling so i am going to start a new project next week to remove everything and add another 12" i want to sell my head unit and i was wondering if you wanted to sell your head rests? let me know i will post some pics of the head unit and also some more when i am done with the additions.
