    So I decided to go the camper van route, which means I'm going to be selling my 2017 DCLB SR5 Tacoma private party. I've added a camper shell, OME BP-51 suspension, KO2/4runner wheels.

    For folks who have experience selling/shopping for vehicles in this price range, do you think I should list as a package or do my best to return to stock and part out the upgrades? Just trying to recoup as much of the costs as possible. Let me know what you think!

    If you have the stock parts in good condition still laying around, you'll probavly get more money back if you return the truck to stock and sell the aftermarket stuff. If you don't have the parts, just cut your losses on the suspension, the cap might add a little value.

    You might be able to get more dough by parting things out.

    ...and you'll have to dedicate two hours to yanking everything off and then putting it back together with the stock stuff (assuming you remembered to anti-seize everything when you installed it). And create separate listings. And deal with separate time-wasters. And be patient when they don't all sell at the same time. And only pocket an extra couple hundred bucks at best.

    Your call.

    The camper shell/canopy will probably add little value to a prospective buyer: some love them, some hate them, and others don't know if they want it or not. But I bet you can sell it almost immediately on its own......

    I think in todays market those modifications will make your truck more desireable than a stock rig, you may not get much more for it but you will have more attention... especially with people hot off the overland rally looking to get into it
