The Swayze Express - Taco Pro

It has been a long time coming to start this page.

 

I have a 2020 Tacoma TRD PRO MBM 6MT. I said a long time coming because I ordered this truck on Dec 17 2019. It finally arrived and I picked it up July 24 2020. Covid19 hold ups as others have posted here. I have a lot planned but here is what I have so far.

Ordered mid July
5- BFG KM3 255/85/16
Diamondback HD Bedcover

The following morning 7/26 I had the BFG KM3's mounted. They make a huge difference in truck look and feel. Not to mention added a little more lift. The truck looks so much better with the larger more aggressive tires. The Diamondback bed cover said there was a 35-40 day lead time so I hope to see it soon. Below are some pics of when I picked it up from the dealer and then right after I had the tires put on.

 

Dealership photos

 

Photos once i got her home

 

After a bath. There was so much sticky crap all over. It all looked like scratches. The dealership didn't even try to clean it up. But it cleaned up nice after about 2 hours and lots of elbow grease.

 

This was after the new tires. The 33's really make it look great not to mention a little extra ground clearance.

 

Looks sharp. What else you have planned for it

 

Beautiful, best color and best choice in transmission but I might be bias.

 

@BlackWagon great minds think alike.

 

Just put 33s on last week, next mod is a lift

 

Looks great, congrats on the truck!

 

I have a lot planned for this vehicle. I am sure it will evolve over time but I will keep the updates here as I go. I am an avid camper and outdoorsman and have been my whole life. So I plan to use this truck. No mall crawler here. Here's the planned build so far.

5-BFG KM3 255/85/16(Done)
Diamondback HD Bedcover(on order)
Diamondback HD Cab Rack (this is still up for debate but will decide once I see the cover on the truck)
ARB Summit Front Bumper (still on the fence cause this guy is heavy and i wanna leave the stock pro suspension on till it is worn out)
Winch (warn or smittybilt)
ARB Recovery Point
Bolt on Sliders or possibly build my own sliders
High Clearance rear bumper (waiting for possible option that works with all the fancy sensors on this thing)


Nothing too crazy I just want to build something that is a monster offroad and can take me camping way off the beaten trail. I will not be going the roof top tent route thats just a little to much for my taste. I'll buy a camper before I do that. No just to fight the urge and take my time building it as i get the money and not charge up the things i want.

 

@tacobliss Thanks! Now i just need to get a few scratches on it so i can get over the initial dread of hitting some trails.

 

Ripping the bandaid off is the best day, gets so much easier after that hah!

 

Winter/Covid19 has sucked. It put everything in my world on hold. Now that it's warming up back to the mods. I added the Diamondback HD and HD Cab Rack a few months back. I highly suggest the cab rack with the diamondback. Looks mean and is very practical. I don't see a lot of people with the cab rack on here. I also added some AVS in channel rain guards.

 

I have picked up a few small things over winter. Now that it is warming up today is the start of the installs. I'll be changing out interior lights to led's, doing the 2WD low mod, and putting together a custom ARB compressor kit I am building. Pics coming soon.

 

Looks awesome. Any rubbing? What about speedo and odometer, any recalibration?

 

I haven’t seen anyone run the HD cab rack.

Any chance you can post pictures of it from the side? I am interested in seeing the amount of space between the rack and rear windows.
