2023 Overlanding Taco almost done.

So, I purchased this 2023 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road brand new on March 23rd, and as you can see, I've done quite a bit to it already. In fact, my rock sliders come in tomorrow and that will complete the big stuff. Build so far is as follows:

Front suspension- Bilstein 5100's with Maxtrac spacers (will go Fabtech 3" this winter). On the 29th I have SPC upper control arms being put in and adjusting the shocks a little higher to get rid of the rake.

Rear suspension- OME HD leaf springs with OME shocks.

Redrock bed rack with Tuff Stuff Alpha rooftop tent.

Redrock roof rack with Tuff Stuff awning.

Demello Off-Road front bumper with Warn Zeon winch.

AFE cold air intake

OTT Tune

Fuel 16 inch rims with Toyo MT's in 265/75/R16 tires

Rock sliders were going to originally be Demello Off-Road but my eta inquiry phone call was returned to me by Hefty Fabworks. Hefty Fabworks is taking over the Demello Off-Road fabrication and since the production of the Demello Off-Road sliders was going to take too long David, the owner of HF, said he had some of his sliders in stock, sent me a link, I liked them and decided to go with them. I get those tomorrow.
Anyways, here's some pics of my truck in front of my Jiu Jitsu school

 

Beautiful truck, but there’s gonna be some kung fu fighting because you’re blocking all the parking in front of the martial arts academy.

 

LoL, it's okay, because I own the Martial Arts academy.

 

You’re just giving your top pupil a pretense to overthrow you in an epic battle.

 

What fog lights do you have in the demello?

 

Well, because I'm starting to get old they're all gunning to see which one of them is going to tap me out first lol.

 

They're Baja Designs, I forget which exact ones, but they're pretty dang bright.

 

Ok thanks. I got the Rigid 360s but they don't fit in the opening on the demello.

 

Nice truck

 

So, in your expert opinion, Musk or Zuckerberg?

Lmao...... idk, but I am for hire if either of them want to go through a serious camp to prepare.

 

Beautiful truck!

 

Man, that's a rig all the way around. Nicely done. I like you kept the OEM grille!

 

Some updated pics.

 

Great pics and looks great! Best color - MGM!

 

Man, I'm jelly. Looks like a lot of fun. Keep sending pics

 

Awesome truck and great build! It's going to take another couple of years to get to where you're at (wife and budget allowing ).

 

Very clean! What other mods do you have planned for it?

 

You built an awesome rig, there’s a really nice mix of form and function. It’s nice to see someone else running 265/75/16’s and putting them to work instead of having crazy huge tires.
