@BRADENTUNDRA build page

So I always see build pages and think "wow I wish I had one and my build was this cool". Well... I'm finally doing a build page on my ugly to unorthodox to cool builds. Hopefully, I will start building a more offroad oriented vehicle. So here it goes....

My first Tacoma- 2015 Prerunner
This truck had nothing good done to it lol. All I did was plastidip and ruin the look. Of course, after a first-time, Tacoma buyer goes on TacomaWorld the first thing you see everywhere is plastidip and lightbars in the grille... and that's all I saw so that's all I did. Plastidip rims and badges, the truck is now plastishit with a cheap ass lightbar in the grille. I had the bright idea to tint my taillights cause #brocoma and also had to debadge it because the plastidip was a pain to take off.

Second Tacoma- 2016 Manual TRD Sport
When I originally saw this truck, I saw this picture
and knew I needed one, so off to the dealer to order one and got ready to trade my 2 wheel drive in for a 4 wheel drive. I went a couple months with no mods other than taking off the air dam. 4 months later decided to take her in and get some goodies put on. . This setup is a set of 18x9 on 275/65's and a 3-inch leveling kit. It was great besides the fact that my atturos roared like crazy but I can't complain I decided not to spend more money. Next up was getting a pair of headlights built. At the time, no one had a 16 with a bhlm to my knowledge, so I had American Retrofits build me a pair with some 80mm halos . If you know me you know once the ball gets rolling with anything, then it goes 0-60 in 2.5, and this is exactly what happened. After the headlights, I decided to order a lightbar and pods for my rear bumper (also the first to do it with the stock bolts to my knowledge) . This look was very clean and simple but I like change so I sold the wheels and tires and its back to looking stock-ish and how it looked months back . I had a set of wheels I was ready to go buy but people are flaky when being and selling so I got stuck on stocks for a bit. In search for a new wheel and tire setup, I decided not to stop my other upgrades and caliraised had just come out with a fog light bracket so of course, I need to buy it and why not get some all4offroad rock lights while I'm at it . ITS LED CITY BABY, and speaking of lights here a little throwback to the holidays with some Christmas lights . Getting back on topic... I decided on what wheels I would like. It's not the average Tacoma but hey I like it and I pay for it . This setup is a combo of 20x12 vision rockers wrapped in 305/50 Nitto 420's because once again #brocoma. I loved this setup, I got tons of love and tons of hate depending on what side of the Tacoma spectrum the people are on. But just like my old setup, all good things come to an end. Decided to order a new truck and sell all of my old parts. Bye Bye manual Tacoma.

Third Tacoma- 2017 TRD Pro
So far nothing is done to it because its a pro and comes pretty great from the factory and she sits like this for the time being but not always on a rock.

Id like to give a shoutout to @CaliRaisedLed and @all4offroad so if you guys need any leds or parts and they have it, then I would definitely recommend going to them because both companies are great an care about customer service and making you happy.

If you guys like my truck and want to know anything else or want to see more pictures check out my Instagram- @bradentundra
I am also building a sub box for an 8 inch solobaric so I can get a little more bass .

My new build will be a 2018 sr5 4x4 tundra. She's currently my daily driver and work truck but will be getting an older sedan to keep the miles off. Right now all I have done is 5% tint over factory on the back, 5% on the front, and 35% shield. This is what I plan on making her look like after I'm done.
(dont mind my rough photoshop)


Well got the truck all situated but changed a couple things to my liking.

The wheel and tire setup is 22x12 -44 Hostile Predator and 305/40 Nitto 420s

Also I finally got that sub box for the tacoma finished and decided to build a bigger better one for the tundra.

 

HOLY MOLE! What an adventure you're having with your Tacos!

 

Yeah I've been through a lot with them ha

 

What chopping did you have to do to fit those 12wides?

 

wife has the white taco?

 

had to cut a 1x2 inch portion of the painted fender on the front and back of the front wheel well

 

no it was a family members, talked him into upgrading to one

 

Cmc too correct?

 

So what if is a PRO. Mod the hell out of it, is only a taco. Mine is lifted, bigger rims and tires, CAI and filter, soon to add oil catch can.

 

its leaving me soon so i dont want to be too heavily invested in it

 

nope only did plastic trimming

 

****************
Leaving you why? Another truck or Prius???

 

not sure, im wanting to go fullsize because ill be towing a gooseneck or a larger trailer

 

doubt anyone is looking, but went in and got a sr5 4x4 tundra!!!

 

Can I ask some questions about your tacoma with the nitto 420’s? Just want to know what leveling kit you had and did you chop anything for them to fit? Also the offset? Thank you!

 

This is the only trimming I did but I would recommend doing a cab mount chop if you turn on uneven roads a lot, it rubbed a little on it if I had it full lock and hit the bump on my driveway too fast. They were also a -51 offset heres a link to the setup if you want to get it https://www.customwheeloffset.com/w...oyota-tacoma-vision-rocker-stock-leveling-kit

 

At full turn it would rub when you went over bumps? Thank you for the link! I’ve been trying to find a leveling kit that was 3”! I could only find 2” lifts! Do you think -44 would rub also? That’s what I was planing on getting

 

Yessir, only at full lock and turning at the same time. It depends what tire type you're looking to get, if you do a street tire like 420's or proxes it will rub less than mine, if you do an all terrain or mud tire it may rub just because they have the tread lugs on the sidewall

 

When you had the 420’s on did you still have it on just a 3 inch level?

 

Yep, had on the 3 inch level for both setups.
