I don't have many pics of truck when I got it but it was stock condition... I didn't care for the dash illumination so a visit to jumper's LEDS got me into a blue shade, lovem'...
I had an ‘04 4WD Regular Cab that same color for a few years. The one truck I wish I’d have kept above all of them. I like the dash lights.
& of course the weak ass rear springs weren't going to cut it so I started to experiment a little with old Chevy truck springs to help out with firming up & some lift as well...
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ OOPPSS wrong pic.. Right pics vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
I've done the grey wire MOD, deckplate MOD, diff breather MOD, refurbed my rear springs & put 5100's on all corners Oh, & LED interiors/dash & turn signal relocation in front... thats about it for now
I'd love to take an 04' standard cab 4x, give it an E locker & SAS the front, get away from the IFS...
I miss this truck...I'm ok with the color of my 04' (more or less) But I'm going to paint it white eventually
[QUOTE I miss this truck...I'm ok with the color of my 04' (more or less) But I'm going to paint it white eventually[/QUOTE] Great looking rig man. I bet you do miss it. Although I love that red. How did the old Chevy springs do with the 5100’s? Half ton springs I assume. I’m curious to how the payload increase would be with the new springs. It may be common but I’ve never seen anyone do that. Pretty ingenious.
Beautiful truck! I made a vow to never sell this one. I had a built rig years ago and let it go. Now to find a badass bumper like 4WD's!

& one more link if you want to see a lot of rigs that have either done my spring MOD or some pictured I did personally... https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=tacoma+spring+refurbishing&FORM=HDRSC2 Yeah, most the pics on this page are mine or directly related, my white truck is in quite a few
