TacomaWorld addiction 2019 TRD Offroad Build

Join the club. I am waiting for my UpTOP roof rack to delivered. That little purchase is gonna fuck up my credit for a couple months

 

UpTop Alpha installed with Baja Rock lights and Extreme Led X6s 38” bar

 

Decided to put on new bed side vinyl ?

 

How do you like the alpha/light bar combo? do you have any night shots?

 

I have only had the bar for a month so I can’t really comment on its longevity but I like the look with the amber and white. It is bright !!!! Really bright!!! It can be hooked up to light just amber or just white or both. I am running out of switch spares so I wired for the whole bar to come on. I don’t have any pics because it’s so hard to judge from a picture but I will take a few tonight and send em to you if u like ?

 

That would be awesome, I tried finding some pics or videos online of how well they throw but its been surprisingly difficult lol. I'm 100% sure I'm going to be throwing down on a rack from them but wanted some input on whether or not the light bar/cutout are worth it.

 

The rack is expensive enough. I preferred the look of that bar over 2 10” Baja Designs anyways. Extreme LED had lots of good write ups so I went with it and am extremely happy. If you are going to get a UpTOP Alpha I will tell you a couple things that I ran into during install.

 

Love the build man

 

I appreciate it. Thank you.

 

how are you liking the high clearance slimline bumper?

 

I love it. IMO it’s the best looking option out there.

 

Glad to hear it, I am still debating between the alpha or bravo. Any feedback at all would be great.

 

Definitely get some .25” flat washers to have on hand. Most guys have a 1/4” clearance between roof and crossbars but my crossbars were almost touching roof. I just had to pad the rear mounts with a few washers to have comfortable clearance. I also recommend getting a punch from Amazon for making holes in roof stripping. uxcell Leather Gasket Strap Belt 19mm Dia Hollow Hole Punch Hand Tool Black

If you get alpha with scene pods you have to pre drill holes with a 9/32 drill bit and the screws will tap themselves in the aluminum armor tek. I would recommend making your own harness if you are comfortable with wiring. Save some $
