    2017' Tacoma TRD Off-road DCSB
    Bilstien 2/1 level kit with 5100’s front (top setting) and 5160’s in the rear Ecgs bushing Prinsu cab rack Bestop Cali raised ditch lights Rago fab bed stiffeners Rssw heritage wheels with 32” ko2’s Westin bed mat Pro grille and tail lights Led dome, map and licence plate lights
    2017 TRD OR Super White SB 3.5L A/T

    I've had this girl for a year and a half now did a few things for the dogs but kept it pretty much stock until recently. we have some pretty wild winter storms on the lake Huron shoreline in Canada so a 4x4 was a must. I use it as a daily driver, hauling toys, camping and the odd trail here and there nothing to crazy yet. She has done everything i have asked her to with ease.


    Things I've Done

    TRD Pro Tail lights and Grill-
    did not like the chrome grill, black and white look better.

    Best Top Soft Top
    - Have had this on the truck since i got it and its holding up great. fabric and windows are holding up great and no fading on the black though the Canadian winter and road salt. plus i can have it folded down and use the bed in less than 5 mins.

    Westin Bed Mat- Does not say Tacoma but does the same job. plus the dogs like it better then the stock bed. Nothing in the bed slides around unless its round.

    Cali Raised Ditch Lights w/27W side projector led pods- bought these for keeping a better eye out for wildlife on the commute to work. I've seen a lot of Turkeys and Deer and these things light up the ditch great. After hearing what they did to Rago Fab, prob wont be getting much else from Cali raised.

    Wheels

    Summer-16' RSSW Heritage Rims (they are gonna get scratched offroading so didn't want anything too fancy

    Winter-Stock O/R Rims

    Tires


    Summer-BF Goodrich KO2's 265/75-16 no rubbing (on stock suspension for now) and look great.
    IMO-these are the tires that should come with these trucks. love the look and they are not much louder then stock. the stock goodyears were done at 45k km and they just didnt last

    Winter-Undecided at the moment

    AJT Designs Key Fobs- One white (match the truck) and one cavalry blue (I like the colour)
    Both say TRD on the back, got them before they sold out.

    Black Tailgate Vinyl Insert- really makes the Tacoma pop out.



    Waiting to arrive

    Rago Fabrication Stainless Steel Bed Stiffiners-
    (In The Mail) Need i say more and they wont rust!

    Prinsu Double cab roof rack- (EST. SHIP SEPT 14th) They really are the best roof rack that looks good on the Tacoma. Aluminum, light weight, wont rust and strong as heck. Didn't get a light cut out on the wind deflector, I can always cut one out later if i want one installed.

    Bilstien 5100 Front Coilovers- set at 2" to level out the truck


    Next mods/
    Purchases


    SSO Streamline front winch bumper- Aluminum with hoop and line x. Want the use of a winch but without adding a lot of weight to the front end. prob get more recovery gear when i install the bumper
