Las Vegas Taco

Hello All!

This will be a slow build, but I intend on using quality parts and hopefully giving some helpful reviews.

I bought my first Tacoma last November. It replaced a Jeep that I had for many years. It was time for more room, better fuel mileage, and A/C!!

Old: 2002 Jeep TJ, lifted, locked, 35's. It could go anywhere, but daily driving and long trips were painful. Did the Mojave Road twice with jeep. Can't wait to do it with the Taco!!





New: 2017 Tacoma TRD Offroad 4x4 DCSB with all the options. Day 2 and I hit some local trails / dirt roads. Tried out the Crawl control, and I was impressed.

 

The first trip was a short weekend to visit the parents in Sedona, AZ. I took on Broken Arrow and Soldier's Pass. The Taco performed well and I was pleased with the ground clearance.

 

The next trip was to Death Valley in January. The weather was perfect. Stops were made at Lone Pine, Cerritos Gordo Mine, Saline Valley, and other places.

 

Some of the first changes I made were the Pro grille, Clazzio seat covers, Rotopax bed rail mounts, and the tailgate stickers.

 

A quick trip to Zion and the BLM land south of the park happened in March.

 

I just got the KB Voodoo bed bars that work with the factory cover. Thanks to @KB Voodoo for the fast shipping!! Install was easy, and I was able to modify the rotopax mount plates to work with the bed rack mounts. Just waiting on my RTT!!

 

The RTT came in today. I took advantage of REI's member sale and my dividend. Ended up getting the Tepui Kukenam Sky.

 

Nice truck!!!
