I think it's time...

Hey all,

So, I think it's time I start modding the Taco. The only change I have done since I got this one in June was put some tires on it. Still can't figure out what wheels I want to go with, but I know they gotta be black. Vague, right? lol

No idea on the lift, I do have a front bumper in mind however. Been thinking the C4 Fab lo-pro winch bumper.

I don't do a ton of off road driving, but I would like it to perform reasonably when I do.

I have a MGM '19 Off Road. What are your thoughts on a build?

 

TRD Pro Wheels are Black.

 

No need for bumper or winch. Buy sliders and on board air.

 

Just in case you want to know what it looks like here is my '19 Off Road Magnetic Gray w/TRD Pro wheels and stock tires.

 

That's a good lookin truck.

 

Thank you @Coyote501! Here is what it looks like in trail trim. I switch from my Pro rims to steelies for trails and back for mall crawling.

 

I'm looking to add it for more than just the look. I would definitely be able to make use of it.

Nice! Thanks for the view.

 

@DJFraz, not sure on your long term intentions but do some thinking about that before buying anything for the truck. That will save you a few dollars in the long run. I bought side steps before I got the sliders and though I was able to recoup some of the money it was a waste of time.

 

Oh, for sure. I only plan to buy once. That's why I've sat on it for a while. I've technically had a taco for 2 years (also had an '18 Sport I got rid of for other reasons) and couldn't make up my mind with anything either. I made no mods to that one. Only thing I've done to this one is change the grill.

 

That grill looks very good. While the stock grill does not excite me, it does not annoy me enough to change it...yet. Is that the Pro grill?

 

always been a fan of SCS F5 on the 3rd gen

(not mine)

 

It is. I felt the stock grill would easily break with all the small plastic weaving. Plus, I just like the look of the Pro.

 

I know there's an entire sub forum dedicated to it, but what opinions does everyone have on lift kits? Brand, model, etc.

 

Pandoras Box!

I have determined, after many hours of research, that I want Deaver rear leafs (custom 1.5" u402 expedition stage 2), after market UCA's (possibly Icon Delta Joint tubular) , and I am now digging through coilover/rear shocks...looking at King, Icon, and Fox so far.

I'm looking for no more then 2" over stock and would prefer 1"-1.5". I generally haul ~400lbs when off roading/camping so working around that.

Oh, and get the exhaust rerouted if you have not yet. Search for it here...its a thing. Its literally my next mod.

 

Save your money.

 

What sliders are you running ? Truck looks great.

 

Thanks! BAMF sliders.

 

Thank you Sir

 

Buy some decent tires that fit your stock wheels, get a few skid plates, and save your money until you know what you really want after wheeling some.

Edit: I just noticed your photos. Get some Fox 2.0 shocks.
