PC3coyote's 2017 Tacoma Build

See if the local dealer near you will pricematch. I had my local dealer pricematch Toyota of Cool Springs which saved me $168 from the price if I had walked in from the street.

 

Updated OP with latest tool mount and d-ring installation!

 

Normally not a fan of blue, but by far this is one of my favorite builds I have seen on TW. Super clean build. I like the blue on this set up. I am going with similar set up. I currently have MGM color with pro grille. I have ICON billet UCAs waiting to be installed once I get the icon extended coils for 2" lift. Planning on making it level. Question I have, why didn't you go with a bigger tire size, although the 265 do look good. and did you look into the FN wheels? What made you do with the narrower trd pro wheels?

 

He'll have less chance of rubbing running OEM wheel offset, especially when he installs larger tires. I'm up 3" in my 2016, and there's a significant amount of cutting and bending I'd have to finish up on to run 33" tires on aggressive offsets (0 would work at this point, -12 is still pavement princess area).

 

Thank you sir! I really appreciate the kind words. The mods have been modest and don't compete with some of the more heavily modded (and beautiful) trucks on the forum. I've kept it simple and hopefully tasteful. I've been really happy with everything thus far. I'm close to done (...for now).

I'm sure the full lift you're going for will look great, it's a good setup. I'm on stock Sport suspension but am happy with the height and ground clearance of the stock setup, it meets all of my needs. I personally don't like messing with the stock setup too much especially on a truck only a few months old for warranties and other concerns but not knocking anyone who does!

265/70, especially with an AT tire, was the biggest size that I could fit with 0% chance of any rubbing or issues. They added 1" of pseudo lift going to 1" bigger tires. I didn't look at the FN wheels too much because I prefer OEM whenever possible, prefer the matte look and stock center caps of the Pro wheels, was able to get them in 24 hours after ordering from the dealer, and I got the dealer to pricematch an online dealer price which saved another $168 from the normal price. I also gained 0.787" of offset with the new wheels as well which was enough to give it a more aggressive stance but not too much to cause issues or be too drastic to no longer look like a stock setup.

 

Updated OP with pictures of the kayak and bed extender

Last week, I also installed the OEM front bed rail / header and OEM TRD offroad hook painted to match the truck along with ordering all new recovery gear replacing old stuff. I updated the OP write-up but will have some more pictures to post later this week once I get the chance to take some

 

Updated OP with TRD hook painted to match the truck, front bed rail, new decals, and new recovery gear

 

such a clean looking truck

 

Thanks! I really appreciate the kind words

 

Love the build!

 

Thanks! It's been fun!

All black leather Clazzio seat covers arrived today and will be installed soon

...should I pull the trigger on a used prinsu cabrac? I've been considering it to carry my massive 13' kayak, paddle boards, surf boards, etc. I'm going to go broke but it's such a good deal!

 

Let them heat up in the sun for 10 min first!!! Fingers will hurt after will all the stretching and pulling.
I've had the same covers since September '16, they are so nice now that they have broken in. Enjoy

 

Looks amazing! Great work installing.

Thanks for the advice! I can't wait to get them installed. Any other tips? Does it come with decent instructions or do you have a link for any TW walkthroughs? I appreciate the help!

 

The only tip I would recommend is to lay each piece in the direct hot sun for 10-15 min before installing that section... since it is all black leather the sun attracts to it and it heats up pretty quick. this allows you to stretch and work the material for a nice tight fit. It really makes all the difference when installing. Do not try to install them cold fresh out the box. You will be there stretching and stretching it. I started with the head rests to get an idea first so maybe try those to get a feel for it. I don't know any thread about install for them, its pretty straight forward once out of the box. GL!

 

Thanks! I'll post pictures after I get them in there. It may be a week or so until I get the time to do it. Can't wait though!

 

In my opinion, you have the nicest 3rd Gen on TW. Great work! What camera are you using to take all of these shots?

 

Love the build!!!

 

Thanks! I really appreciate it!

All of the photos were taken with a Canon 5D Mark III, Canon Rebel T2i, or an iPhone 7 depending on which I grab and if the girlfriend lets me borrow her good gear

I'll post more tonight/tomorrow to the build page. I have to delete some pictures out of the OP since it's already at 150 which is apparently the limit for a single post

 

This is my favorite looking truck with the most tasteful mods on here!

 

Thanks for the kind words!
