    2017 White Tacoma TRD 4x4 Dble Cab Long Bed
    Snug Top bed cap King 2.5 Front Coilovers w/ Remote Reservoir & Adjusters (3" lift) King 2.5 Rear Shocks w/ Remote Reservoir & Adjusters Camburg Tubular Uniball UCAs OME Dakar Medium Load Rear Leaf Pack (~2" lift) Method 703 Matte Black wheels 285/70R17 Falken Wildpeak AT3W tires
    I'm on my third Tacoma. The latest one is a 2017 TRD 4x4 Off Road Double Cab Long Bed in Super White. I've had the truck since 2017. Finished the initial lease, decided to buy this one and finally have the money to start setting it up for some good four-wheeling/overlanding and camping with the kiddos. The build is just beginning... and I will need help and advice, of course.

    Initial mods when first leased the truck...
    TRD Pro Grille (installed first day with the truck in 2017)
    Matte black bug defector on hood
    Snugtop Super Sport bed cap
    Bedrug full bed liner

    New Recent Mods (since purchasing truck)...
    Tekonsha P3 trailer brake controller
    King 2.5 Front Coilovers with remote reservoir and adjusters (set for 3" lift)
    King 2.5 Rear Shocks with remote reservoir and adjusters
    Old Man Emu Dakar Medium Load rear leaf pack (approx. 2" lift)
    17" Method MR703 Matte Black wheels w/ Bead Grip tech
    285/70R17 Falken Wildpeak AT3W tires

    Next mods when I can afford them...
    5.29 Nitro gears
    Break upgrade kit (looking for suggestions since I will be towing an RV trailer for the wifey)
    Considering the OVTune engine tune, but need to understand California-specific issues first
    Front Bumper & Winch
    Rear Bumper w/ Tire Mount and dual swing arms
    Roof Rack solution (current 2-post Thule won't cut it moving forward)
    Lights & light bars (including better bulbs for headlights)
    Rock sliders
    Might consider the Decked storage system or something "home-built"
    Roof mount tent

    @Elgavo, We think alike. I found your post after buying mine.
    I have plans to go a very similar route.
