Hello thanks for visiting my build thread. Let me start off with a little bit of history.
I’ve done a couple builds with engine swaps and what not, I’m always looking for a challenge and something that’s not been done before or something different. I’ve done tons and tons of LS swaps in older trucks and cars but they seem to easy now a days.
My last build was a Duramax swapped 80 series Landcruiser and it was a blast to do and super challenging.
So after i sold the LC80 I bought this 2016 Tacoma TRD OR with fairly higher miles but was in great condition
My whole plan was to build a truck that I could do some over landing and I wanted to take a trip to Moab and hit some trails. I live in southern Illinois so I needed something that I could drive almost across country, go off-road and drive back home.
I know I needed to do a little bit of a build to take the Tacoma to the next level
Couple exterior mods, black out emblems, trd pro grill, hid headlights, Baja designs fog lights
Next was wheels tires and suspension
I went with Icon Stage 4 suspension with tubular control arms and remotes resis
Wheels and tires are SCS 17s with -38mm
BFG 295/75/17
