New Build ('15 Double Cab)

What up!

I just bought a 2015 Tacoma Double Cab and I'm looking upgrade from bumper to bumper. I do have some mechanical skills but I have never done a full upgrade for any car I've owned. I want to use the truck primarily for camping, road trips and some offroading.

Where should I start? So if any of you guys can help me with sites and even a jumping off point that would be helpful.

 

what are your goals for the truck? mall crawler or offroading rig?

also, gonna have to demand some pics of the new acquisition

 

I want to do take some road trips, camping and a little offroading.

 

I would say say sliders, skids, tires, suspension, wheels if necessary to clear suspension components

basic recovery gear like tow/kinetic straps, shackles, recovery boards.

hit some trails, see what you're comfortable with and how far you wanna go. then you'll know how much you need to build it out for your goals.

and like we always say, buy once, cry once. welcome to TW!

 

4WD or 2WD? Daily driver? Off roading, light back country? Towing a boat or trailer? Going for looks or function?

It is my daily driver but I live 10mins away from work.I am planning on getting a trailer incase I need to tow my Harley. 2WD, light back country/camping

 

Sounds like you are going mostly for looks. Since it’s 2WD and no significant off roading don’t try to make it look like something it isn’t. In other words don’t lift it, armor it up, put massive tires on it, a huge heavy front bumper..... all that is a total waste of $$$ in your case.
Without seeing a pic of the truck it’s hard to suggest things. Personally I think I’d start with some good looking wheels and a set of moderately aggressive A/T tires. It’ll look good and be functional. If it doesn’t have fog lights ,add them onto your truck. A lot of people upgrade the headlights but a lot of people have problems when they do that. You may think about adding a set of off road lights as they come in handy at night on back country roads and dirt roads. I like the looks of Tacoma’s the way they are.
You may want to do some things to the interior. Replace/upgrade the stereo sound system. Get some Husky floor mats to protect the carpets and they look good. Or spend your $$$ on things you like and like to do like your Harley, or hunting, fishing, camping equipment etc etc.
