Matt Viv's 2016 TRD Off Road

I wasn't planing on buying a truck because less than 2 years ago bought a new '14 Access Cab with the SR package (2.7L with Manual Trans) and had completed a with a few mods. But after paying off 2 huge debts from my divorce in 2011, I decided that I should treat/reward myself. I found and bought a "lightly used" '16 Tacoma DCSB TRD Off Road with the Premium & Technology Package (lightly used = original owner purchased the truck in Dec 2015 and had only put 5200 miles on the truck).


Completed mods:
Morimoto XB LED Fog Lights
LED interior lights
WeatherTech floor liners (front & rear)
Access Original roll-up tonneau cover
Hella 2.0 High Perfomance H9 bulbs in High beam
AVS Side Window vent visors
Morimoto/TRS HID kit; 35w in 4500k
Full OME Lift with 285/75R16 on SCS Ray10s (see Post #4 for details).
B.A.M.F CMC (Cab Mount Chop)


Some other things I am looking to do:
Skid Plates
Window Tint
Switch-Pro SP-8100
LED Aux Lights
Bumpers
Sliders
Roof Rack
Recovery Gear

Awesome, keep us updated!

 

Holy crap, big lab!

Nice truck!

 

I had a mod day recently... I have installed a lift & tires. Back in the day I when had my '98 Tacoma, I installed a full Old Man Emu kit and I loved it! This time when I started looking at Lifts for my 3rd Gen, I started searching up everything I could about different OME set-ups people have installed.

For my 3rd Gen set-up I have selected...

Front:
OME 888 coils mounted on 90021 shocks (OME Trim packer on Driver side strut)
Total Chaos UCA (Balljoint)

Rear:
Dakar leafs and 60091 shocks, New U-Bolts
Carrier bearing drop kit
Headstrong extended brake lines

Wheels & Tires:
285/75R16 Cooper ST Maxx
16x8 SCS Ray10

Electronics:
Hypertech inline calibration





Here is my Old '98 Tacoma 4x4, 2.7L, 5 speed... with 3" Old Man Emu Lift with 33x10.50 BFG MT, OME 881, OME 15a/b, OME shocks, 4.56 gears with a Detroit Truetrac in the rear, IPF 986 and LCE Header.

 

Well its a bittersweet time... back in Early April 2019, I traded by '16 Taco in for a '16 VW Golf R. And then in Mid June 2019, I picked up a '01 Tacoma (ExtraCab, TRD, V6-Auto) to take on the trails and such.
