Totaled, but getting a 2022

Well unfortunately I totaled my 2020 TRD OR a couple weekends ago after I picked up my kids from their mother. Luckily we walked away unharmed, however the truck not so much. I guess if I'm looking at things that are nice about that whole situation is I get to take off literally everything from my old truck.

I ordered a 2022 TRD OR in MGM that I'll take delivery of between 4/6-4/11. I'll be taking the truck straight from the dealer to Explorer Overland where they will be installing...

Full 3" Radflo Suspension w/ custom powder coated coilovers

EO front Tacoma bumper
EO high clearance rear w/ single swing out
EO 0 degree sliders w/ top plate
RCI skid plates
SCS Gen5s in bronze
35" G003s
5.29s
Uptop Overland bravo roof rack
Uptop Overland full height TRUSS bedrock
23Zero Walkabout 56"

For lighting I am trying to work a sponsorship deal with @Diode Dynamics so fingers crossed for that.

I will be wrapping the truck as well, just trying to figure out exactly what color(s) to wrap it all in as well as figure out any sponsorships that might come through to help the build.

All in all I have about $17,000 worth in new parts, and roughly $3-$5,000 in take offs from the old truck. I'm super excited to see where this thing goes, but hopefully everyone can follow along and maybe I'll see you all at various expos. I'm taking the truck to Ouray Overland Festival for sure, but hopefully I can make it out to some other fests/meet ups this year!

I'll be posting a new build thread once all their parts get added.

 

Ball joint failure on a 3rd gen?

 

Maybe add a big brake kit while you’re at it.

 

Well don’t keep us in suspense how did the accident happen

 

I side swiped a semi trailer. The wreck itself was pretty uneventful, just kinda drifted over into the back end of him. I got tied up in the rear most axle and then I'm not really sure what happened. Where and how I got into him doesn't really make sense for the damage.

 

That sucks about the “old” truck but the new build sounds rad

 

Glad you're okay! Strip that old taco naked before you let it go take everything, spare bulbs spare spark plugs spare engine spare frame spare paint job

 

Oh I am, I didn't even list all the interior parts I'm taking hahah. I have the taco tunes 5 channel amp, their subwoofer box, 12" sub, KTJO grab handle, weather tech mats, midland radio, MESO Custom LED lights, and all new door speakers....oh crap and the N2 remote start haha.

 

@johnmichael125 , wrecked two weeks back and getting an order delivered to the dealer in the up coming two weeks, wow that must be a record . How did that happen ?

 

I’ve gotta buddy that works at the dealer in Albany. No one claimed the truck so I did.

 

*flex

 

Glad you guys are alright!

What exterior paint is the new one?

 

Bummer to see a Taco get totaled but glad everyone is alright. Aways fun to start another build tho

 

Magnetic grey metallic, but the vinyl wrap will cover all that haha

 

Yeah and the best part is this one is going to get done right. I learned so much on the last one that won’t get messed up this time around.

 

The wreck sucks but i am glad your kids and you were not injured.

"as well as figure out any sponsorships that might come through to help the build"

Are you famous or something?

Glad no one was hurt

 

Twas a beautiful truck. Glad your kids are okay. All that matters.

 

Glad you and the crew are ok, Taco did it’s job. I’m in Albany if you need anything local.
