    New 2020 Off-Road Cement in Alberta Canada

    Hey friends! It's been a while since I've updated much here, although past 6 months of Winter have been fairly lowkey and quiet, guess I'm more a fair-weather camper haha, I had ambitions all Winter to try camping once but there just wasn't any good opportunity where it wasn't -20*C / and...

    New 2020 Off-Road Cement in Alberta Canada

    Hey guys, an update on the Tacoma - still absolutely loving it. Winter is finally upon us here. First time out wheeling in the snow for this season was a blast, a few icy sections left me wanting and wishing I had better performing tires. Ideally I'd like to upgrade to some 285's very soon, and...

    New 2020 Off-Road Cement in Alberta Canada

    It has been a while since I've updated the build thread! :eek: The Tacoma has come a fair ways since my last post, and it's finally some really nice weather here! We've been out camping the past 5 weekends in a row, which has been awesome. We also installed our Roof top tent setup. This is...

    Spencer's 2020 Cement DCSB Off-Road "Build" (Slow)

    Picked up some sequential turn signals for the mirrors. Install was the easiest I've done so far, only took about 5 minutes each side! Very happy with them and how they now match the headlights turn signals!! If you've got a few minutes to check out the video I did and leave a comment, I would...

    So last weekend I finally had a chance to really test the limits of the Tacoma (well, not really, but still my first time out in this level of trail). It was alot of fun and I really enjoyed it. Managed to get the Tacoma stuck a few times, this one was pretty fun. It looks waaay worse than it...

    Doing some testing work of the new DR900 X - Series Dashcam from Blackvue. Still the same ol' front 4K CMOS Sensor from Blackvue... 1. Added new LTE Module / SIM Card ability to access and view Dashcam live / playback / gps tracking anywhere. 2. The real 'big' news is the new X Series...

    Spencer's 2020 Cement DCSB Off-Road "Build" (Slow)

    I hate when tires get that sort of dried-out look and begin turning brown/ grey.. I know people sometimes just slap a tire dressing over top but then I find that all will sling off right away.. looks bad. So I made some sort of really cinematic DIY on how I clean (scrub) the rubber treads on the...

    Had the folks' at the Posh Lab here in Edmonton do some xpel protection on the new morimoto's to keep them protected! Too expensive to let them get abused by the harsh Canadian winters haha... One of my favorite videos so far I've done, if you got a few mins to check it out and leave a comment...

    New video of the Morimoto Headlights! A little bit different format in the way I voiced-over this one and was able to film in a different style! Really happy with how this one turned out. I've been spending so many hours lately on my editing and composition of videos and hope to keep the...

    Yup they rub with the tires so I had to remove the mudflaps!! :( Just on the front. I might see if an alignment will help before winter time comes though because I kind of want the mudflaps! Went and explored a bit last night, and the new Sony 85mm lens has really motivated me to want to shoot...

    Installed the new Diode Dynamics kit for the SS3 Ditch Lights. Same lights are the foglights but they came out with a nice simple and low profile bracket that mounts to the hood for bottom pillar lights. I spent probably close to 10 hours on this one and I think it's my most favorite editing...

    Got out into the mountains this past weekend and really enjoyed taking the Taco' down some of those gravel roads down behind Canmore (Spray Lakes) etc. and I realize comparing it to the WRX is like apples to oranges but the truck just handles those gravel roads so nicely, especially since...

    So no mudflaps for 1 month now and I don't have any chips or dings around the lower fender area. I think the fenders themselves actually do most of the work, because I do have significant amount of chips on the plastic black fenders, even with the mudflaps though, so I think most rocks are...

    The new wheels + tires are installed and I'm sooo stoked!! They look so awesome, the truck actually drivers smoother (turning almost feels a bit more linear to me if that makes sense) and they look so much more aggressive. Even stock height / suspension, the 265 / 75/ 16's fill up nicely (pretty...

    I've met some pretty cool friends so far since owning the Tacoma, got out a week or so ago for a 'socially distant' photo-shoot/ hangout with my friend who also has a Cement Grey.

    Hey thank you!! I'm really in love with the setup haha, considering my first truck and coming from my Subaru WRX, these wheels (and I'd say, especially with the tires) I think it's just a perfect setup without lifting. Like if I got a lift I'd probably want / need bigger tires and wheel to kind...

    I decided on tires and they arrived! I kind of opted for a good - budget friendly option to start out with. Eventually I might go bigger, go the whole life/ cmc route, but that might be a year or two down the road. I'd still like to get out off-roading and exploring, focus on having fun with how...

    Next, Diode Dynamics SL1 LED's in the low-beams projectors for headlights!
