    3.5 in Rough Country lift ICON RXT Leaf springs Terra Grappler 285/75/R17 4WP rear bumper Custom built box rack ARB roof top tent 10,000 lb superwinch Custom front bumper
    Hey all! Been looking around TW for a bit, thought I’d throw in as well. Picked up my 2020 TRD sport used 2 years ago. Slowly been building it to what it is now.

    Started with building a box rack for the roof top tent. Then went ahead with a 3.5” Rough Country lift and new tires. Did the icon RXT leaf swap a few weeks ago to get the back end a little more even with the front. Built the rear spare tire swing gate as an add on to the 4WP Tacoma rear bumper I got after I smashed the stock bumper last year.

    Bought a 10,000lb superwinch a few months back, wanting to build a front bumper to sit it in. Didn’t make the time to get that done, which I regretted when I was out visiting a friend and got stuck in about 2 feet of corn snow. So last week I built the front bumper and winch cage.

    Just need to get the fog lights and maybe a flood light mounted on the front bumper then I can send everything out for powder coating. Should probably make some rock sliders at some point.


    This is the first truck I’ve had the capability to work on, I’ve owned a few old f150’s and 250’s over the years, but I never had access to a shop. So it been fun to get creative with the projects on this truck and lucky that the shop I normally work in has allowed me to come in and utilize the space while we’re in between projects.

    Cheers everyone. IMG_3858.jpgIMG_3650.jpg IMG_3978.jpgIMG_3989.jpg

    Thanks, appreciate that! I’ll try and keep updating on the progress. Got a few builds lined up for some friends trucks.

    Will do. Hopefully I’ve got some photos buried in my phone to put together a decent set.
