Here she is! (UPDATED!!)

Well, after a long search, I found a low mileage 2014 RC 4x4. I was unable to find a brand new one mostly because I wanted an automatic. I found this one relatively close and made a deal that I was very happy with. I got kinda lucky because, since it was used (3200 miles), it already had several things that I'd planned to add. It came with a tow hitch, hard folding bed cover, tailgate lock, and Weathertech floor liners. Here she is...in all her naked glory.


I set aside 5k to get it where I want it to be. The plans are:

OME lift w/ 884s and UCAs
wheels
275/70-17 tires
multi-speed wipers
cruise control
color-matched grill
tint
LED light bar in grill
skid plate
fog lights
LCE header
speaker upgrades

I can't wait to get it all done, but it will probably take me about a month since I do all the work myself.
Let the fun begin!!

 

Nice. After settling the 884's gave me 2 3/4" of front lift. I'm curious to see what 275's look like on a RC. Any ideas on what wheels you're thinking.

 

Cool! Congratulations!

I'm looking forward to seeing the progress pic's and the final results

 

Looking good! Can't wait to see it when all the mods are done

 

Thanks. 2 3/4" huh? I will be getting Fuel Anza wheels in anthracite w/ black ring.

 

That's a beautiful Taco dude

 

nice. check out the 2.7 single cab thread and the lifted reg cab picture thread if you havent already!

 

nice. lets see them mods

 

Been all over it, for months! Lots of good info and ideas floating around here.

 

Nice! Have fun with the upgrades!

 

Nice ride.

 

Congrats and nice list of mods.

 

Nice truck! Good find with low miles, low miles like that are just as good as new anyway. They are no longer making regular cabs for 2015+ so you got yourself a gem there, take care of it!

 

That's gonna be one sweet Tacoma.

 

new trucks feel good, don't they!?

 

NICE TRUCK!

 

Not bad. have a Good time with it

 

man i have not seen a RC 4x4 around here in a long while, good find! and perfect color hehehe! and planning your build ahead of time, and choosing a great build i might add, and doing the work yourself (so you know its done right and the way you want it) well thats about as perfect as you get bro!


congrats!

 

Nice. A RC 4x4 seems retro these days. ENJOY!

 

I'm really struggling with this tire size decision. I just can't figure out if I should run 285s or not. I think 285s would look the best and I'm not sure if I will be happy with 265s. On the other hand, I'm worried about how sluggish the truck will be with the auto and 285s. I don't need gobs of power because I'm used to a 4 door Jeep with 35s, but it has to be reasonable on the highway. 275s are out because I want 16" wheels. 255s are out because I don't care for the skinny look.
