The battery was then relocated under the bed for added room in the engine bay. With keeping the clean look of installation, all of the air lines where ran through the frame rails. Taking up most of the engine bay you can find a set of 18x8 Arelli Kaz wheels protected by a set of 205/35/18 inch Nitto's. In the rear, the bed was tubbed out to fit the 20x8.5 wrapped in 215/35/20 inch rubber.

In the midst of the current stance being a gratifying one, the body would be next on the hit list. Beginning from the front and moving to the rear, the hood was left alone with Todd and the crew performing an engine drop. A Trenz grille was installed for the phantom look, while a set of 4x4 fenders with shaved corner lamps where mounted to give the Taco a wider stance. Above the stock bumper and snug against the Trenz grille you will find a set of 2000 Tacoma headlights. Moving towards the rear of the Taco would mean not missing a panel along the way. With the antenna shaved, the door handles would also need to go. Other stock items needing placed in the trash would be the mirrors, which were replaced with a much sportier set. Atop the cab you will find a Street Beat ragtop to allow the Virginia sun through on the warm summer days.
