Rugged Overland Tacoma

The start of our Overland Tacoma Build

Pics of our bone stock 2016 TRD Offroad 4x4 Manual.

Big plans for this machine. Much more to follow.

 

How you liking the power? I had so much trouble trying to adhere to the "recommended" break in, I don't think it really matters with new engines

 

Whatcha got in the background there with the CVT on it? Asking for a friend...

 

I'm happy with it. Nice change from the jeep.

 

That's our Jeep JK.

 

Dang! That's a sick expedition rig you go there! What are your plans for the tacoma?

 

Thanks Man. The Tacoma will be built similarly. Bed Rack, RTT, armored up, storage options.

Still haven't decided on a lift yet but I have ideas. Wheels are ordered, just a few things to narrow down.

I'm sure plans will adjust as I get further into it.

 

New wheels arrived. Still have to sort out the lift and tires. Was trying to hold out for OME to release theirs.

 

What wheels are those?

 

Awesome! I must say your jeep looks pretty cool too!

 

Sorry I didn't reply sooner: crazy busy last couple weeks.

They are Birdogs from Interco Tires. We have had really good results from them on our jeep. The dual valve stems and ability to air down to single digit numbers when needed.

 

Thanks man.

 

Added added a bed rack from front runner outfitters and dropped the wheels off for powder coating.





Here is what they look like all black. I think they are going to look and function pretty well on the Tacoma.

 

Got the wheels back. Now tire decision time.

 

Ome BP-51's and rear springs installed. Wheels and BFG K02 285/70 R17 installed. CBI sliders, bumpers/winch and skids on the way.

 

How do you like that front runner bed rack? I'm thinking about getting one

 

Nice truck OP!!!!

Sorry for my ignorance....but whats the dual valve stems for on the wheels?

 

Allows for simultaneous airing up while monitoring air pressure or if one stem is buried you can access the other.

 

It's a great rack really. No complaints whatsoever.

 

Now THATS what I call thinking ahead!!!
