    Hello All!

    My name is Jeff and welcome to my build page. I am a long time Toyota owner. My father bought me a 2005 Tacoma Access Cab new off the lot back when I was 17 years old and I owned and built it up for 10 years. I ended up selling the truck because my wife and I are starting a family so I decided to jump up to my dream truck of a Tundra. Bought a 2013 5.7L Crewmax with 16,000 miles on it. I believe it is a SR5 grade model given it has a rearview camera (in my mirror), back up sensors and the center console with shifting on the floor. Truck came with no badges on the back door to tell me over wise.

    Mods done to the truck:
    Mangaflow Exhaust
    HID Headlights
    HID Fogs
    HID License Plate Lights
    3" Leveling kit in the front
    18x9 Method Double Standards
    305x65x18 Falken AT Tires
    Grillcraft Mesh Grill
    Hella 500's mounted behind the grill
    Wet Okole Seat Covers
    Spray in bed liner
    TRD Stock Running Boards

    Future Mods:
    3.5" Maxtrac Spindle
    Coach Builder Shackles
    Jump up to 35" Tires

    Here was my Tacoma

    Here is the Tundra at the dealership when I took possession of the truck

    After I installed the 3" front Lift

    Went to the offroad swampmeet and landed a set of brand new double standards
    IMG_5075.jpg
    Paired those with the Falken Tires

    I had no bedliner at all so I got it sprayed
    IMG_6694.jpg

    Than grabbed a Grillcraft grill since I loved having one on my Tacoma

    I just recently put the hellas in behind the grill so I have crappy photos but here you go

    Most SR5's come with a column shifter, you might have the TRD.
    What shocks were on it when u got it?

    My Grade the shifter on the floor, not on the column. Not sure if they changed it up in the 3 year difference but I've been known to be wrong before.

    Awesome build. You should put some Toyota raptor style lettering on the front grill ;)


    Oh and the column shifter only comes with the option of the front bench seat where the consol lifts up to have a third seat in the front.

    Thank you sir. Here is a photo all I did was make small little 1.5" x 2" angles with holes on each side. I used the existing horn bolts and threaded holes and just flipped the horns around so they are on the back side of the light and have room to share with the bracket. Super easy to do. Excuse the dirty engine bay I am planning to give it hose and wipe down this weekend kinda over due.
