I am wanting to do some modification to my truck. However, it is still under warranty so i know that i have certain limitations on what i can do. If anyone has any suggestions on what i can do i would greatly appreciate it. Here are some pics of my baby as it is now.

 

Look guys its a girl on yotatech. lol jk. nice truck

 

What kind of modifications are you thinking about?

Are those the factory steel rims? If so, definitely replace them!
Add a simple 1"-2" suspension lift, slap on the next size bigger A/T tires and be done.

For the interior, i highly recommend Husky floor liners... http://search.ebay.com/search/search...&fsop=1&fsoo=1

Is your truck a 4x4?
If you haven't noticed already theres a section for '05+ Tacomas... https://www.yotatech.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=117

Have fun and don't overdo it.

oh... and when your done, buy a new camera that takes clearer pics.

 

It depends on what you want to do with it. Do you just want to travel down some light trails and go camping? Or do you want to be more aggressive with it? Will this be your DD?

I don't know how long you have owned the rig, but if you haven't owned it for a while I personally wouldn't change a thing right now. Drive it around for a few months and take note of what you like or don't like about the truck. Get a feel for the rig.

Personally I have different rigs depending on what I want to do. If I feel like wheeling I'll take one of my Scouts. If I feel like camping, I'll probably take the Yota. My point is to match your rig depending on what you want to do. There's no reason to modify your rig for rock crawling if you actually aren't going to go rock crawling. Lots of people modify their rigs just for looks, which is simply a waste of money in my opinion.

If you are trying to maintain your warranty I'd suggest talking to Toyota. There are a few folks with newer rigs here and a few Toyota techs too who should be able to answer your questions regarding voiding your warranty. Some manufacturers are very strict about what they cover after you modify your rig.

Last but not least, WELCOME to YT! You've just stumbled upon one of the greatest forums anywhere.

 

Look everyone... it's a guy hitting on girls on Yotatech again!

 

Its all good...I know she is a cutie....after all...I live with her AND I pointed her to this site....so give her some good advice guys. I will be wheeling this Tacoma from time to time....but nothing overly damaging like I put my 4runner through

 

 

Be quiet mr insensitive.

 

If you were to just give it to me, the warranty wouldn't be voided.

 

Here's my suggestion: Get a powdercoated front light bar. Throw a skid plate under it (if they're available for the tacos). Replace your shoes with some more aggressive ones down the road (you can keep the stock steelies). Kinda $$ but how about a hard tonneau cover? Slap on a couple of TuRD decals which will give you a couple inches of lift . Seriously, after the warranty, you can install a small lift.

 

Thanks alot. I am planning on getting new rims for sure.....those factory ones are waaaaay to ugly to keep. I was also planning on a small lift with slightly bigger tires....I dont want to overdo it because i am a girl and dont want to look like im driving a "guy" truck. I am also considering some powder coat work for the rims and other small parts. Im not a big fan of the tonneau covers i think they make it look too "thuggish". Yes it is a 4x4. 6sp with a 4.0 6 cyl. I have had it for almost a year. I think that answers everyone.....haha........Heres the next question........rims, got any ideas on what would look good???? If so post some pics....thanks again for all your help!

 

Ummmmmm. No I dont think so........cute though

 

It was worth a shot. Seriously, though, you should do THIS .

 

Why??? I dont want my truck to look JUST like someone elses..........it is nice looking though.......i have checked it out before. The rims are a little too "blah" for my taste but i am really thinkin about that hood......

 

This is a OME setup on the Taco we built for Ivan "Ironman" Stewart to drive at the Jamboree this past January.

 

Nice..........however i dont think i will be doing enough off roading for that much modification......lol........unless jeremy has his way......

 

It really isn't that much. It is only about 2" with the New Bumper /Winch. It has great on road handling as well as being very capible off road. I think this is exactly what you need. Plus you will make your hillbilly happy.

 

And it is all about making the hillbilly happy........lmao!!

 

Quote on suspension setup please....minus the bumper and winch....hillbilly gettin happy in the pants

 

He told me to say that.
