TacoMaria - 2000 Tacoma v6 4x4

After selling the 2007 FJC (Negro) I bought a 2000 Tacoma v6, SR5, 4x4, manual hubs, automatic, and in great need of some TLC. The plan is to use it as my daily driver (a lot cheaper then the FJC was, or so I though it would be at first got it for about half of the listed NADA value at the time), but I also plan to take it off-road a few times a year on some moderate trails.

I knew from my initial inspection that the suspension need to be replaced, the tires were cheap but appeared usable, the windshield had to be replaced, the engine needed a tune up, and the exhaust was a bit rusty.

I didn't take long before realizing that the engine was bad; it kept consuming coolant and over heating after about 30 minutes of driving. It turned out that one of the cylinder walls was cracked, so about $3k latter, and another $3k for suspension parts, wheels and tires, I was finally ready to start building up the truck during the 2009 Thanksgiving holiday.

Things I've done:

• Suspension - Toytec coilovers, Blistin rear shocks, Wheelers Off-road Leaf Springs and accessories, Downey Shackles, new break lines, and some other miscellaneous accessories.
• Electrical - Aftermarket Taillights, Stereo, HAM & CB radios, and wiring for an extra fuse box to run all the extra electrical add-ons.
  
• Wheels & tires - Wheelers off-road black steal wheels, and some slightly used Goodyear MTR's 285/75/16.
• Got an alignment, finished Hooking up the CB and HAM radios, Hooked up the GPS mount, and re-attached the factory skid plate. All just before heading out to the 2010 Lonestar Toyota Jamboree.
  

What it needs soon:

• The throttle needs to be looked at as it stuck on me the one time I floored it, but I still have the original, so worse case I just need to swap them (hopefully). For not I disconnected the aftermarket cruse control someone had put in it, and I haven't had the problem again since.
  
• The HAM radio still isn't functioning properly. I may need to relocate the antenna and make sure it's grounded properly.
  

Here's my current wish list:

• Exhaust replacement (mostly it's missing a Cat. - Probably just get a generic cat and weld it in place for now). The Y-pipe that was with the engine from the 4runner doesn't exactly match the flange to the rest of the exhaust system, and I believe it's causing vibration noises just above 2000 RPM.
• The seats are well warn and need to be replaced.
• Alarm system with Keyless entry (I'm not used to having manual locks) and remote start (since I've been banished from my garage now that it's filling up with kid stuff).
• Secondary battery so i don't run down the primary with all the extras lights and stuff I'll end up putting on it (and maybe a winch some day).
  
• Rock-rails, tube bumpers, and in bed tire carrier (maybe a tool box in the bed as well).
• Off-road Lights
  
• Re-gear & re-build the axles (4.88s lockers, wheel bearings, armor, etc).
  
• Someday I'd like to supercharge it if I ever find myself with a bunch of extra money to wast.
• Hopefully the transmission will hold up for a while, though it was way way over due for a fluid change when I first got it.
• More stuff as I think of it....
