TACOCAMPER's 2017 Tacoma Build

So I recently purchased (May 6th, 2018) a Tacoma and absolutely love it. Well worth the money to upgrade from my previous vehicle. Since planning on getting a Tacoma about a year ago there have been many mods I have debated and wanted and here is what I have done so far. I've been a fan of Tacomaworld but now I am a contributor that owns a taco! This truck is my daily driver, I do a lot of camping, fishing, hunting and just getting out far from the city in this truck.

If there are any members in the Portland, Oregon area feel free to reach out, would love to meet some of you guys and see your rigs. Feel free to contact me on here or instagram if you have questions or are local enough for a meet up.

FIRST DAY I PURCHASED IT 5/6/2018:






THE PROCESS:

 

Welcome to TW... Nice ride!!

 

Welcome. Truck looks awesome already.

 

Thank you! the journey is just beginning haha

 

can you send the link to the cold air intake you have

 

Welcome to TW! You've been busy for the first 2 months.

 

You need to find one for your 4.0. Easy to find via Google.

Do research in the 2nd gen section first, and notice you already have a CAI from the factory.

 

Welcome to The Forum!

That's a fine looking truck you have there!

 

Nice to see Tacomaholic on here, already subscribed to your channel! nice SCS wheels BTW great choice @boogie3478

 

Ha ha thanks buddy! LOVE the wheels.

 

He has a different engine, but here's a link for a K&N for the 4.0 V6: https://amzn.to/2uWZVna

 

Welcome!

 

Welcome aboard

 

Update:
Swapped out front grille for the pro version

 

Decide to add a little armor to the front going with an RCI off-road skid plate

 

Thank you!

 

Is that means to just cover the oil pan and trans or does it go further back? Or is it an IFS?

 

Just the oil pan and trans I believe, goes about eight inches further back than the stock skid plate it came with

Update 11/29/2018

Installing the Southern Style Offorad bumper and winch, only problem was I didn’t order a fair lead so install on that is still to come.
