Three Years Of The Rhino, A 2003 Stepside Toyota Tacoma | @PeterValdo1

[@Palindromeater]

Really nice work!! I super dig the step side. Rare. I am going to test drive a 2002 TRD 4x4 Xtracab step side tomorrow, with a manual transmission. SUPER rare!

[@PeterValdo1]

Ride on! They’re super fun to drive. I’ll never forget leaving my hometown in that single cab. I hope you make memories with that 02 Thank you for watching

Awesome vid!!

I appreciate it👊🏻 thank you for watching!

What kind of front bumper? Is it heavier than arb or lighter.

[@PeterValdo1]

It’s a tubular bumper. It’s old school, they were in back to future and I loved em ever since and they’re lighter than an arb bumper for a first gen tacoma. Arb’s bumper weighs 215 while smittybilt’s tubular bumper weighs only 31.7 lbs. and those 30 pounds pack a punch. When I got into an accident the only real damage to the truck itself was a small crack in the front grille.

@@PeterValdo1 yeah looks Kool to. Can't beat old school products 👍 215 n the front daily driven seems alot of weight. Thanks man

[@David-qw2iv]

I that rear bumper off a jeep or a older 4 runner or bronco??? And I have that exact same front bumper,

[@PeterValdo1]

That rear bumper was meant for a Jeep Wrangler from the late 90’s ~ 2006. I got it on Amazon: “Smittybilt RB01-T Textured Black Rear Tube Bumper for Jeep YJ/TJ/LJ” www.amazon.com/dp/B000JKK2XG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_KX3HA7B4RM7FHDT4DSWZ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 Thank you for watching!🤟🏻

@@PeterValdo1 did you use the factory Tacoma mounts? And just welded them onto the bumper

[@PeterValdo1]

Yeah. My buddy and I, way back in college; we made a video showing the process kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3mvaqyXhceKedU

Where you get the bed cover ??

[@PeterValdo1]

It was an A.R.E., the previous owner sold it to me with the truck

[@ponk3to]

What kind of rims did you have on it ?

[@PeterValdo1]

I had the 69 Series Wheels by Pro Comp Thank you for watching👊🏻

[@ponk3to]

Peter Valdovinos i really like how they look do you remember the tire size I just bought a truck like that and has stock rims

[@PeterValdo1]

If I remember correctly they were on some 275/70/R16 tires. But if you want the same stance, I also had some 1.25” spacers underneath those wheels.

[@ponk3to]

Peter Valdovinos my tires are a bit different in size I don’t know if that would matter I’m going to check that out I like the rims but I don’t want to spend on tires since this ones are brand new and thank you it does look nice also mine does not have a lift kit it’s just the stock lift height you think the spacers would affect that ?

[@PeterValdo1]

Wheel spacers don’t affect ride height, only the center of gravity

[@av36]

You sold it ?

[@PeterValdo1]

Yup, it was time to let him go

[@iamriddim9143]

@@PeterValdo1did it have problems or something??

[@PeterValdo1]

@@iamriddim9143 Rhino had no problems at all, the thing was that I had just hit a growth spurt after high school and needed a truck with more leg room to stay comfortable while driving
