2017 Tacoma 2.7L Access Cab 4X4 5 Speed Manual build

Finally got my truck I ordered 3 months ago. Within 75 miles I popped a tire. This photo was day 2. Next week it's wheels and tires and possibly a lift. Overall I love this truck it feels like a real old school Toyota!

 

You'll love the 2.7. Very reliable and low maintenance.

 

That's a good looking ride.

 

Nice looking truck. I just stumbled on here from google after looking for 2017 2.7L 4x4 Tacoma's. Currently driving a corolla and missing a truck but have the exact same on coming in April.

Did you black out your fenders?

How did you find first impressions not having seen the truck on the lot with the test drive driving it home? Done any 4x4ing yet?

 

Yes, main reason I picked it over the v6... It's already a proven engine.

It will be when its all built.

Thanks, Mine did not come with fender flares. I bought it without ever test driving one, or sitting in one. Built it on the Toyota website and went to the dealership and ordered it. I've had Toyota trucks before, so I knew what I was getting. I have zero regrets with this truck. Love the 4 cyl and 5 speed manual. 4x4 works great.

 

Great little truck! Mine is going on 35k right now and will be at 40k by the end of June(will be moving back to California). Thing is a tractor and hasn't had one hiccup yet.

 

Update. Toyo MT are installed on the factory steels. All business.

 

Nice looking tires! When I finally get moved I plan on buying some--looking at the k02s or Cooper Maxx.. Or goodyear!

 

Looks nice,sort of a retro look. any spacers on the wheels? What size tires?

 

Very nice

 

Thanks, No spacers. Size is 265, I believe that equals out to 31.8 inches. No rubbing at all, even with mudflaps.

Thanks man! It's coming along alright so far. I have only had it for 2 weeks or so. I feel like it already needs to have a straight axle under it and coilovers... I need to chill out. If I keep the IFS I am going to probably get the OME BP-51 setup.

 

Nothing to special with the truck this weekend. I got some universal mud-flaps from Rally Armor. Put them on and went out and tested them, they work excellent.

 

Painted the steelies. Turned out great. Painted a center capblack and tried it and didnt like the look, the grey I wasn't fond of either, so I left them off.

Love the simplicity and beauty of this truck.... awesome choice.

 

Mine?

 

Both but the ops steelies and mud tires is sexy simplicity

 

Went on a solo offroad mountain run, roads where very narrow to the point I couldn't get out to take pics, and I made it 300 feet short of hitting snow in the 90 degree summer there was a landslide over the road. I love this truck.
