White Skittle Build

The base for my build is a 2015 2.5 gen double cab short bed 4.0L V6 1GRFE 5 spd auto A750F 4x4. I bought the truck new and I will run you through my trial end error mods, mods that I love, mods I hate, and how she sits now.

Today: SCS Stealth 6 w/ KO2 275 70 R16s, All Pro LOLA mid travel kit, Relentless: baja bumper, ifs skid, sliders, plate bumper, t-case skid, and tailgate reinforcement. black badges, diff breather mod, wet okole seat covers, rigid duallys, re-routed exhaust plumbing.



2015:
Remove chrome badges and replace with TRD Pro black badges from ebay.
Install Wet Okole front seat covers and Orvis rear seat cover
Rear diff breather mod: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/differential-breather-mod-for-dummies-pics.15686/
Installed AFE pro dry air filter, got rid of it after a year (lets in too much dust, does not improve MPGs or power per my ultragauge.
Install Relentless Fabrication bolt on sliders powder coated black with rear kick-out.
Install bilstein 5100s (Did not improve ride at all, removed shortly thereafter for mid travel kit)
Install BFG KO2s 275 65 17 on Method Standard wheels (I felt the method wheels were poor quality and looked too flashy so I removed them in 2018)

2016:
Install All-Pro LOLA kit (Fox 2.0 coilovers and rear shocks with piggy back reservoirs, All-Pro light duty leaf pack, All-Pro Upper Control Arms, and steel braided brake lines for the rear drums). What I learned with this kit is to be extra sure you locktite EVERYTHING and re-torque 100 miles after installing. Not doing this almost cost me my life and my truck when the bolt holding in the UCA popped out, luckily I was only doing 15mph when it did and no permanent damage was caused. Also be sure to add spacers to the driveshaft to reduce vibrations and U-Joint strain.

2017:
Relentless Fabrication in Sparks NV installed a custom baja bumper and removed a front cross arm to increase approach angles. Bumper tubing is steel and skid is aluminum.
Installed Rigid fog lights onto new bumper.
Installed Relentless tailgate strengthener (Highly recommend!!!) as I throw my Husqvarna TE511 in the back of the truck every once in a while and the 2nd gen tailgates are quite weak.
Installed SnugTop with reinforced architecture to accommodate Tepui roof tents.
Installed BPFabricating grill
Re-routed exhaust plumbing to give the truck higher ground clearance, installed a magnaflow glasspack, painted the tip black.

2018:
Installed relentless rear plate bumper with heavy duty trailer hitch
Installed relentless t-case skid
Installed Stealth Custom Series Stealth 6 wheels 16 inch wrapped in BFG KO2 275 75 R16s
Installed Ultra-Gauge MX1.3

 

Sweet truck.

 

Thanks! I wish I could run 285s like you but it would rub like crazy when flexed

 

That what snips and a utility knife are for, to fix clearance issues.

 

More pics!

 

Local yokal.

 

Yes I need to get more pics on my next wheeling trip

Gotta love the bay, what part are you from?

 

Novato. Always stoked to see other yotas in town. And yours has a list of mods that I like.
