Three Threats on the Road

Threat One
l_5482e0d441404d55a19428f7c0ff8567_zpsb60a5283.jpg

Before I tell you about the present lets go way back to the year 1999 I got a Dodge Ram with a 5.2L Magnum V8 318.. I raced once or twice on the street only modified the headers, suspension, and maybe a little spray :rockon: won the races went to the drag strip with my stock looking dodge and I got addicted my eyes were wide open, my heart raced and so did my truck. After beating mustangs and then corvettes I was laughing how easy it was to beat some cars with alot of work!
Then I got two more jobs and worked my ass off through high school and after a while. I had saved so much money I started looking at everything from muscle cars to offroad trucks.

Threat Two

You can clearly see how different the girls were I would never date two girls at once so one of these had to go :laugh:

So I picked the tacoma I kinda miss those seats in this old blue devil
I liked the look of the tacoma so I did the sensible thing and after 4 months of searching I ended up with the best truck I could find. So in 2007 I bought a 2007 Toyota Tacoma Prerunner Speedway blue noticed the color is practically the same as the Dodge ram something about blue gets me. So I got this truck and started modifying the crap out of it but after 5 years I started wanting to go faster my addiction had returned for speed. This 2007 taco was nice then it started having rear solenoid issues but toyota and the dealership would say nothing was wrong every time I took it in. The problem happened randomly and after 3 months I drove to the stealership with the kelly blue book and got 17k for it since there was "nothing" wrong with it come to find out they noticed the issue to and when I came back to get my knew whip the manager agreed I was right but no apology :dontknow:

Threat Three

In January of 2013 I realized I couldn't find a Trd Sport with a Long Bed and 4x4 in Florida so after 6 months I deceided to order brand new and brand new from the factory was my Gun Metal Grey 2013 Toyota Tacoma Trd Sport 4x4 they didnt have Speedway Blue anymore :dontknow: I know I wanted a TRD sport just because of power outlet in the bed plus a longer bed. After a week and my girlfriend in Florida confessing she hated speedway blue but loved the Gun Metal Grey I did the logical thing and dumped her :blurock: Then I took my new girlfriend out on her first date with my tools in my garage I gave her all my love. My 2007 tacoma ownership had its benefits I knew what was going to rust so I sanded then used bed spray on all the nuts and bolts that were rust on my 2007 even the ones on the bed and holding the tail light on nothing was missed.

Followed by water proofing the entire engine bay :stupid: Then after taking her apart I took my dash apart and so began the transformation.

She was pretty but she really needed some class. The white was nice but the blue was amazing :blurock: she had a new hair color but she needed to hit the gym so I got her a some Doug Thorleys and she got stronger in my garage. The problem came when I went to install the Doug Thorleys and I realized the company had ****ed me and didn't send any studs and over the phone they said it would come with studs I was angry :atomic: So I called it a day and put a tent over my truck

ordered APR studs and waited :hmmmm2:

Got the studs from APR and with new pipes she sounded amazing with the voice of an Angel I was fallin in love.

Some kinda home film here:

Then after only 1 month of our relationship we took it to the next level. A dealership in Texas had a TRD Supercharger for $2,395 so I called them and told them id pay for her operation. 2 weeks went by :bebored: and nothing I called and they had'nt even shipped it because they could'nt find the fit kit for a 2013! When I heard that I spend the weekend installing so cosmetic mods to make her sexy ass a model.
Now its jsut getting ridiculous with mods like these light up cup holders that make all your clear drinks look like glowing blue gatorade

Heres it without the cup holder

Followed by a trip to my friends garage where we installed a true dual exhaust with a X pipe to keep it steady exiting some sexy pipes
2013-09-16_11-51-33_644_zpsd91846ea.jpg

Everytime she came outta the Garage with me I knew the looks were for her voice and the way her body moved. I gave her a set of custom Viper LED strips like the XSP but with a shiny metallic back ground! What a difference it brought out her eyes like a tiger.

Then came the HIDs and Day time running lights VLEDs two relay white/amber she had all the neighbors attention!
2013-03-30_18-36-53_153_zps44b52bb9.jpg

When they called again I told them they have 2013 fit kits and it was already approved for the 2013!! They called my Florida dealership and they told them how to find it!

Then Christmas came early :eek:
Also I had spent the two weeks looking for the best deal to get it installed after being told I wouldn't be able to install it without re-flashing the ecu at some point. So I went to 8 stealerships and ended up driving from Tampa, Fl to Jackonville, Fl to get it installed then her "assets" under the hood were sexy :rockon:
2013-06-13_13-37-43_948_zpsf0f9686d.jpg

Did a couple of races while I was there :burnout2: She was able to run a 9.2 on the 1/8 @ Green Cove Springs, Fl Dragstrip and 13.6 on the 1/4 in Brandon Speedway.

Then I went off the deep end I couldn't control myself I ordered piston rods from pauter here in san diego along with some CP engineering heads recommended by mark! After that I did what anyone would do and installed one of my own methanol injection kits from snow proformance :blurock: Who wants to be a licensed distributor for thier family racing company and not use them on their own racetruck :dontknow:
Anyways heres what the engine bay looked like after the methanol stage 3 kit was installed click it:
