Bend Desert Taco

Just picked this 2016 Tacoma up in March. So far all I have done is dip the grill and tint the windows. later this week I will be installing a light bar and getting my Teupi Roof top tent mounted. This is the first Tacoma I have owned, so far I have been really happy with it. My previous rigs were a 2012 Platinum crew max Tundra and a 2014 FJ cruiser which I loved. But I am happy to be back in a truck!

In the next few weeks, new rubber and wheels. A drawer system in the bed, and a ARB air compressor.

 

Congrats on the new truck...i also just got mine a couple of weeks ago. I love the dipped grill on the white im going to dip the chrome mesh between the bars in mine.

 

Yeah I saw someone do that on here it looks super good! Congrats on yours! Have you got to try out the crawl control yet? I am ready to get it dirty!

 

Not yet other than in my drive...kinda scared the nieghbor kinds cause the abs sounded like the predator lol. Im headed to Adventure Offroad in Tennessee memoial day weekend.

 

That sounds awesome! haha yeah my buddy thought I broke something! After I get everything put together I will be headed out for some camping and trying to get it stuck lol

 

Sounds like a plan...what ive seen on youtube, youre going to have to try pretty hard to get it stuck, not like thats a bad thing. If you end up trying pretty hard and going into some deep crap try to get some pics. My dad keeps teasing me about getting stuck in my last taco but it was only 2 wheel drive...i told him to leave the straps at the house but im going to stash some in the under seat storage...just in case.

 

grats, and check the threads dealing with 3 very common issues. U-joint lubrication(or lack thereof), u-bolt not torqued correctly and last but not least automatic transmission low atf levels.

 

I saw that thread, had it checked out after I read that. I work for an auto group in town that has a Toyota store. Everything was all good! Thanks for the heads up! TacomaWorld is an awesome community!

 

Thanks to @RickyTaco77 for the idea. just got this ordered! should be here early next week. Ill post pictures when I get it installed.

 

Whats the length and where are ya mounting it.

 

Badass color choice!!!! Nice truck man!

 

Its 30in and I am going to mount as pictured. The one pictured is from caliraisedled.com but they are asking like $259.00 for the setup, the light bar from Amazon was $80.00. Im sure the quality of the light may not be the same, but good enough for the girls i go with lol

 

Lmao nice

 

subbed because your in bend haha

 

You will be very surprised with the quality of this light. I've hit mine a few times with the pressure washer and still no fogging.

 

How many lumen is the light

 

Oregonians FTW! And nice looking truck @BendTaco

I also got mine from Kendall haha

 

Just ordered this switch from aironboard.com for my light bar. As well as a wiring harness from amazon for $9.99 haha should of called this the Amazon.com build
