LunarRockV's Trail Edition Build

may I suggest a couple of more things

1. Desert Does It seat jacker, I have the red version to kinda match my Barcelona Red exterior, it fundamentally changed the seat comfort level in the Tacoma



2. I was on the fence about Katzkin's heated and ventilated system and decided to give it a shot, it works rather well, ventilated feature is more potent than OEM ventilation I have on my Venza. Real leather is so much nicer than the OEM leather and vinyl combo.

 

Haha I'm definitely adding the black exhaust tip to the list, I like that. The trail edition comes with all weather mats, but we'll see how I like them. I've heard great things about the husky ones. I also purchased the meso headlight trim plates when I planned on buying the alpharex headlights, but I just got the morimoto amber drl headlights and they fill out that spot where trim plates go so I sold them

 

Is a seat jacker pointless if I'm tall? I'm 6'/6'1. Or does it change the angle more than the height?

Also, I have the clazzio leather covers coming and added the heated seat option with 2 oem toyota looking switches which I plan to either mount up top or in the center console. Never heard of the vented option though lol

 

I just realized I never responded to your question about a lift. For now, I'm happy with the 1.1" front, .5 rear factory lift. I'm sure at some point I'll get bored of it I'll go with a 2.5" or 3" lift. Between being happy with how it looks and factory warranty, I want to ride it out as long as possible. But I also won't be upset if I hit a major pothole in the road and it forces me to upgrade lol

 

2021 trail edition was a lot cheaper. 2022 trail edition comes with a lot more, like the pro style wheels, heritage grill, slight lift and locking dif, but it's a $3700 package, plus tech is $800 or so

 

it mostly just changes the angle because I only jacked the front 2 bolts, most people will feel the thighs are better supported when the angle is increased by the seat jacker

 

That makes sense, I may have to just give them a shot

 

I would have 100% done a lunar trail edition if it came in a long bed, beautiful truck!

 

sweet truck excited to see how this build turns out once you get more parts installed

 

Thank you! Long bed would have been a sweet option for sure. I also wish they offered the trail edition in manual and it would be even more perfect lol

 

Much appreciated! I'm excited too haha, it's just a matter of finding free time

 

The bronze on the trail edition grill is slowly growing on me. Would match perfectly with my bronze wheels too...

 

Sexy assss rifle case!

 

Oh yeah, it's a sweet combo. And they look much better in person!

 

Shadowed tools like a CTK(Consolidated Tool Kit). Looks like somebody spent time in the USAF or worked in aviation.

Not only does it aid in organization, but one knows by a quick glance if a tool has been left behind. This is a hallmark of aviation or in weapon systems wherein any tool brought in must be accounted for upon exit. Hardness is paramount and it is of grave consequence if a tool is left in an airframe or weapon system. A tool left behind can lead to an air disaster or weapon system failure.

 

I wish I could say I did, but really it's just my OCD lol. And my ADD is why I need to do it, because quickly being able to tell if I am missing a tool is the only way I can keep on top of misplacing things. But that's cool and makes a lot of sense for USAF, redundancy plans keep everyone safe

 

Thank you! I have a bunch of cheap rifle cases, but theyre only really go from my house to the range and back to my house. But I wanted something good quality if it was going to be housing my tools full time in the elements. Condition1 cases are absolutely awesome and I can't recommend them enough

 

That is sick!

 

Do you have a part number or link to those rims? Thanks!
