Mark's Burgh Built 2017 Tacoma TRD Sport Build Thread

I traded my 2011 Tacoma TRD Sport for a 2017 Tacoma TRD Sport a few weeks ago. A couple of selling point on the 2017 were the relatively low mileage (40,000), the matching Leer fiberglass camper top, a brand new set of BF Goodrich TA AT's, the WeatherTech floor liners and rain guards and the overall condition of the truck. This is not my first rodeo with Toyotas. In fact, it's my 5th Toyota truck. It all started in 1988, then a 1994, a 1995 T-100, the 2011 TRD Sport and now the 2017 TRD Sport. Before the trucks were a 1973 Landcruiser wagon and a 1979 Landcruiser FJ (Man I wish I still had that!)

I'm setting out to put my own style on this truck. The first thing I've done is purchase a Tacoma TRD Pro Grill from the Taco Garage and LED Raptor grill insert lights from Runnin' for Tacos. I installed those today and I think it is a good start to what I'm wanting to accomplish.

The 2017 TRD Sport as I bought it 2 weeks ago:







I did add a few more decals to the rear window besides the Mathews Archery decal and the Pittsburgh Penguins decal and I will update the rear picture probably tomorrow. I have a couple more items to install tomorrow.

Today's major change was the installation of the TRD Pro grill and LED Raptor grill insert lights. This is how it looks now:





As you can see, I did install red letter decals over the Toyota badge on the grill.

I'm saving up for a 2" suspension lift, done the right way and I'm dong the research on it now. In the meantime, I have CalTrend carbon fiber seat covers on the way and they will be here early next week.

Stay tuned for more stuff from my Burgh Built Taco! ~ Mark
