I figure we might as well start a second Gen Tacoma thread since there’s a first Gen one.
Pics and details on your truck. Best upgrades and what you wish was different or you plan to change in the future.
I purchased this truck as is right before hunting season, it was a kids show truck that he bought new.
Mods;
- Icon Vehicle Dynamics stage 4 lift with billet upper control arms
- Icon Alloy 17x9 rebound wheels with spare
- 285/70R17 Kenda R/T tires with spare
- CBI front aluminum bumper
- smittybilt 10k winch
- factor 55 ultra hook
- bulletproof fabrication grill
- Pelfreybilt steel front skid
- k & n cold air intake
- switch pro panel
- warrior products roof rack
- CBI rock sliders
- wet okele waterproof front seat covers installed at purchase but I removed them and tossed them in the garage
- Viair onboard air system with 2.5 gal tank
- Firestone rear airbags with saddles
- Fab Four rear bumper with spare tire swingout
-Custom led headlights
-Rigid 50” curved bar and pods
I also got all the stock parts with the truck, I removed the seat covers and cold air intake and put the stock one back on. I added a topper as well which i found for $500 in Boise that was color matched to my truck. I also pulled the rear tire carrier so I could haul my TW on the rear. I’ll probably put the flares back on also to keep the mud off a little better. It defiantly had some scars now, pinstriped and one small dent from a stick slapping up and hitting the rear fender.
Future plans are front and real electric lockers and 4:88 gears. I also want to figure out some kind of fuel storage since these have such a small tank.
Still debating on upping to 35’s from the 33’s. It drives awesome now and I don’t want to lose the drivability. I’m coming from a unlimited rubicon on 37’s so the Tacoma is defiantly lacking in the off road department compared to the Jeep. I love the extra room and not having to haul animals inside of the vehicle. I’ve hauled 5 animals since buying it in sept.

) a lot of terse situations with my trucks and can say with certainty that my Tacoma runs circles around all of the full sized trucks I've used.
