New 2023 Tacoma TRD Off Road

Hey Nice clean truck!

 

Welcome aboard, nice color

 

Welcome to TW!

 

Great taste!

 

I have the same color, what are you all planing on doing with the trucks?

 

Well so far, I put the tonneau cover on it and the molly bed system on back of the cab as well as the side panel molly’s. I like the black out look so I bought the adhesive covers for it too.
Lastly, a floor jack that comes in a hard case. After looking at the little jack under the back seat, I chose something a sturdier. Thats all for now, I currently have 1100 miles on it. Loving it.

 

nice! I've been rocking stock for a while and its been great! Did you check out the flatbed i just put on it

 

No I missed that. You must do some serious work to do a flat bed. Post another photo if you can.

 

yee, i just went for it

Great job making it. I see it pretty wooded where you live are you a hunter too?

 

Thanks, the camper is coming along slowly. I can't wait until it's done. I have not hunted anything yet but I would like to one day!

 

Week you have the right truck for it. Ht part of the country are you in?

 

Plan is to one day have our own piece of land. Wanted to do a flatbed for extra space and versatility. The headache rack and all the wood come off and the camper will sit on top for when we go on our adventures.

 

That’s awesome. Good plan.

 

Yee, after the camper is done. The plan is to regear and upgrade suspension

 

Well, just received the R4T’s tailgate power lock https://runnin4tacos.com/products/tailgate-lock-3rd-gen-tacoma-2016-2021?_pos=1&_sid=5d9ddfcb1&_ss=r it took all of 30minutes to install. The wire was small enough to stuff it inside the backup camera cable protector. Really like the plug n play aspect of this kit.

 

Welcome nice truck you have . .get started with the mods..... enjoy building your taco

 

I will post some pix of the few changes done over the weekend.
1. I don't know if the dealer applied ECP plus is, it protects the paint, seats, carpet, and wheels. The ceramic coating on paint is very slick, I dropped it off Friday morning and picked it up 5 hours later. It looked better than when I originally drove it off the lot. Everything is so much cleaner.
2. I saw posts about possible tailgate theft, so I also installed a hose clamp on the right side of the tailgate where the tailgate may be lifted out of the 'hinge'
3. I picked up a used RAKFlip MX4 and installed it.
4. I also replaced the map lights and dome lights to LED (Amazon). The LED bulb for the dome light was a little longer than original size so I just used a file and shaved both ends of the bulb to fit.
5. I bought pedal commander from a fellow forum member. Still adjusting to get where I am comfortable with it.
6. I also bought the 1" spacer for the rear of seat for a better seat geometry.

I think that's it for now. I am terrible about taking pictures while I'm doing the work, so I will post the items in the installed locations.
