Royal Purple

Well, it's official. Today I spent more for an oil change than I've ever before. 125.00 for everything from Royal Purple 5w30, Royal Purple 75w90 for the manual trans and rear differential. The things I do for this truck, now I can't by shoes, oh well.

Wheels

Ever heard the saying that clothes make the man, f that, the man makes the clothes. My taco will be wearing these shoes...

Enkei LF-10 20x8.5



Exterior Color

Now I'm not one for dark vehicles anymore since the Durango fiasco of 2007, but I can't get this out of my head. This is what color I see when I close my eyes and picture my taco...

Wish List... Leather Interior

There's no doubt about it, a leather interior rocks no matter what it's in. You can transform a Pinto into a pearl with leather interior. This is the direction I would like to see myself going in:
  • 4x4 Toyota Tacoma bucket seats
  • Custom center console
  • Black and charcoal gray leather interior
  • Billet aluminum steering wheel with a black leather half wrap
  • Undecided on the shifter knob, but so far black leather is where I want to be
Here is a picture of the steering wheel:

Billet Specialties Stiletto

Wish List... Extreme Hydrographics

I've been communicating with this company for a few months and I just found out that my brother Jake has also been dealing with them on his gauge bezels. Nordskog will be the only gauge company offering carbon fiber gauge bezels. I want to cover my dash components to look like brushed aluminum.

Wish List... Amp & Components

Lets move on to the real guts of this audio system, the amp...

MB Quart PAB 2100




I'm not entirely sure where the stereo will end or if it will, but for now I'm going to keep it simple... with these.

MB Quart DSF 216




Wish List... Head Unit

Lets start with the head unit and Sirius adapters, we'll work from there out;

Alpine CDA-9884



Alpine KCA-SC100



SIRIUS SCC1
