TacticalTanTacoma Build

Hey everyone, I lurk on here more than I post, but I started my build slowly back when I got my truck the first week of October. Ill post as many updates as I can and parts used, and all that good stuff. For more updates and better info you can follow my instagram @TacticalTanTacoma as im able to post more quickly on there.
Bear with me with the formatting, im not computer savvy.

The day after I got my truck. Bone stock TRD Off Road with JBL/tow package etc.



Next I color matched the fender flares, and added a 50" curved light bar with relentless Fab roof mounts. I also Made a Satoshi grille with mesh and lettering from Matt at Custom Car grills . com.




Then I got my CBI OffRoad Fab hood brackets for my LED Lightpods. They said I got the first set which was cool, and they're made very well and mount easily.



Then I found a local member who wanted to swap hoods, so I was able to get a hood scoop (love the look, but it gets a glare from the sun and cant see as much while offroading.)





Then everything halted somewhat while I figured out my next move. Luckily without much time to think I got in Touch with Corey at Insain Fab in Thornton, CO, and he's giving my baby a facelift. Ill Post a teaser pic of the truck at the shop, but you'll all have to wait for the progress pictures until I pick it up.



I'd love to answer any questions/comments/concerns to the best of my ability. Also open to suggestions for the build. I'm thinking an expedition type build since I don't do any one thing more than the other, and since its my daily driver I wont be able to do as much crazy stuff as most of you. With an expedition build ill still be able to do anything ill ever need to and have a ton of fun. Hope to see you all on the trails!

 

Sub'd, looking good so far!

 

Digging the originality, the quicksand is growing on me. Looks good!

 

Bumper install? Nice.

 

Yep, custom bumper. have a few other things as well. should be ready to go Thursday or so and ill post pictures as soon as I'm able.

 

Great looking truck! Can't wait to see how it turns out!

 

Not yet. The paint got held up a bit because of the snow yesterday and today. Hoping to pick it up Friday and I will post pics as soon as I am back from picking it up (then I'll find a trail suitable for pics and have my wife take some dslr pics)
I'll drop this as a teaser though.

 

Looks awesome

 

looking good so far!

 

Sometimes I tell myself I should have waited for the 16. Ahh oh well, truck is looking good though. Is that the same bumper on toytecs 2016?

 

Looks great so far. Insain Fab got a huge head start on bumpers. They built a lot of the SEMA trucks. I liked the tube bumper a lot but their plate one looks nice too! Sub'd!

 

Yep basically, with a winch added.

 

What winch did you go with? Im getting a front bumper built but not sure on the winch to go with.

 

Like what I'm seeing so far. From another NC member as well. Any updates on this?

 

^this!

 

Love it! Got a quicksand too. Hickory NC

 

soo, going on 2 months now, where the pics of the facelift?

 

Any more progress made?

 

Where you get that grill?
