I have finaly decided to start a build thread since i never really did it, and soon i forget everything ive done if i dont start writing it down!

Well lets get started!

I picked the truck up certified used, 2005 BSP from tri county toyota with 35,000 miles on it. Out the door ended up paying just under $20,000 for it, traded in a pos ford escape that i still owed a little over 4 grand on..

After i seen it i knew i wanted it so i got the down payment money ready.. and yeah i was excited!



What she looked like when i got her.


soon after i picked her up i debadged the tail gate and tinted the tail lights..




next few months i did a few more mods..
gauge cluster color change, stock to a true purple.. looks blue in the pics tho..


custom dash to hold my tablet.

i did the outlet mod and added one to the rear of the vehicle, and also a rear audio input.. i always seem to have needy friends in the back..


weather tech mats front and rear


after a bit more saving came the fun stuff! gathering turbo parts and a shopping spree at urdusa.com! oh and the not so fun stuff. my third trans swap...
new trans, clutch, flywheel, short shifter, traction bar, injectors, fuel pump, cam gears, t stat, ucon, turbo, waste gate, bov, intercooler, piping, boost gauge all minor turbo stuff and ultra gauge..

Nice. I like the sticker on your gauge. And I thought it would take at least 5 grand in hundred dollar bills to spell taco. I guess I was wrong ha ha. Is your turbo build finished?

Looks like a knock off version of the powerfab turbo kit.

I might be selling the wheels. I don't know if I like the fact that there 20's
He used jba headers and a custom y pipe. Kinda like power fab but the turbo is in the front more and waste gate sits on the left side.. I'll have more pics once he gets it a little bit more complete.

Black headlight mod! Picked up a set of stock lights for $30. Decided to try the mod. I like the way they turned out. Once I get my truck back I'll be able to swap them in and take the stock ones out!

I used mothers head light restore kit. The one was bad. the other was pretty decent but it def made a big difference.

So went to pick up my truck and had a few small problems.

First one. The bov got welded after the sensor and not before.. but simple fix. He's gonna redo it tonight.

Second. Maybe its the bov in the wrong spot but I connected the vac line and it opened the bov and it shut my truck off? Any ideas why that happen?

Good news is the idle is steady and there are no cel's on. So the ucon is working good so far!

Second picture doesn't work.

Has the BOV been moved to before the sensor yet?
