thegoofster21 04 tacoma build SOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[thegoofster21]

i bought my 04 tacoma in 2007,its a 3.4, 5 speed, non trd, ext cab. was never going  to be a wheeler, i got it so i would not have to drive my 4runner around any more. well i got rid of the 4runner, then got an ext cab 85 then sold it now i have  sami and now sold that and only have the Tacoma. so im going to do lite wheeling with my Tacoma. so this is how it was when i bought it.  

[*** YELLER ***]

and then....

[thegoofster21]

my wife told me it look like an old man truck so i got a little lift for it. put some 31s on it, flowmaster muffler and some nice 15x8 black rims.  

[thegoofster21]

and 31s are just to small so i got some big a** 32s . every year we have winter fun fest in grass valley so not have a good wheeler i took my tacoma and drove it like it was a tuff truck. here are some pix of the day.

[thegoofster21]

then some jacka** backs in to me. $2000 to my truck and a little dent on his rear bumper. but a got a new front bumper out of it  

[thegoofster21]

so it was a rainy saturday after and me a my buddy wanted to go and do some muddin(because muddin so cool  ) well long story short we got all got stuck (3 toyota's an 85, 97 taco, and my 04) got pulled out by a jeep on 42s. i ripped off my stock skid plate and put a hole in my radiator. but i had a good helper to help me put it back together.

[thegoofster21]

not sure if i want to bob it or not what you guys think?

[jonathan82toy]

Bob It!      

[turkeyman85]

bob it

[bigarms23]

x2

[-Matt-]

leave it till you build it, then bob it

[chim]

haha.. i clicked bob-it before I even saw the truck!

[yota_krawler]

leave it till you build it, then bob it

x2

[thegoofster21]

leave it till you build it, then bob it

i think i will

[84t0y]

if you bob it dont take much out. i took 16in out of mine and now that its on 37s its completely unessary. try and not take out more than 8-10in.

[TacoRunner]

Since it's not exactly off-road worthy at the moment, I'd say leave it untill you are ready for rocker guards and a lift.

[yota_krawler]

if and when you bob it, have an idea of what tire size you want to run and if you are going to have a tool box or not. you dont want to take so much out that you cant fit a full size spare and a tool box in your bed. but 6-8" is worthless IMO

if i do build it i may just leave the bed alone

[Brandon505]

I dont think i'd bob it it if was my truck.
