    Season Decorating

    this is my first time decorating the truck. I just used a spare sting of lights, a cargo net and some zip ties. It turned out pretty good but I need more lights to make it look better. Wish I had a bed rack and roof rack to make it look better but I did I what i could for now.

    RavenTechnik’s 2021 TRD Offroad Build

    Thank you very much for this info! It will be very helpful. I did watch one of the videos you posted but felt I was still missing something. I will need to figure out the relays. Where did you mount the relays in your rig?

    RavenTechnik’s 2021 TRD Offroad Build

    I was able to install my blue sea fuse panel and knukoncepts battery terminals the other day. I am now researching switches and accessories for the rig. During this research I hear a mention of requiring relays, especially for lighting accessories. I wasn’t aware of the need for relays. I had...

    What have you done to, or with, your Tacoma today?

    What have you done to, or with, your Tacoma today?

    I don’t have it tied I to the battery yet but I got my Overland Equipped AUX Power kit installed! Wanted to get this in before I started adding ditch lights and other accessories. I’m going to upgrade the battery terminals with KnuKonceptz before connecting the new fuse block. I have those ready...

    Les Schwab - Rough Country Lift

    Les Schwab - Rough Country Lift

    I was in Les Schwab getting tires for my wife’s van and asked for a an estimate on a 3” lift for my 2021 Tacoma TRD Off-road. They quoted me around $750 for the lift. Looks like they are using a Rough Country. This is much cheaper than the Ironman lift kit I was looking at but I know you get...

    I think it’s just the standard entune system.

    Yeah, I’ve done some more research and I can’t find anything so I believe the answer is no I can’t. Kind of a bummer.

    2021 Tacoma Stereo Head Unit Wallpaper

    Im trying to change my stereos wallpaper to a Storm Trooper theme. I found some videos on how to change the image in the background but these seem to be for older Entune units. Any advice on how to accomplish this for the 2021?

    First time driving in the snow with the Taco

    Excellent advice, I do plan on getting new tires but I’ll keep these till it’s time to replace them.

    RavenTechnik’s 2021 TRD Offroad Build

    Yes, these are the in channel low profile window deflectors in matte black. I think my only complaint is that you do lose some visibility but it isnt too bad. I think I would prefer the smoked so that you can see through it a bit but it still looks cool!

    First time driving in the snow with the Taco

    I was able to take my truck up to Lolo Pass Rd on Mt Hood. We stopped at a trailhead to have some fun. I’m new to the truck and off roaring in general and am embarrassed to admit I got a bit stuck in what looks like an easy place. The first time I got stuck I went into deeper snow to go around...

    Took the truck to southern california this last week and in the way home we hit heavy blizzard conditions over Siskiyou pass. This was my first time in the snow and the truck handled it like a champ!

    Ironman 3" lift

    Thanks for the review. I plan to get this lift bur will likely have it installed at a shop.
  38. Raven-Technik

    RavenTechnik’s 2021 TRD Offroad Build

    Well the cover leaks pretty bad and after inspecting it I'm seeing pretty good gaps at the bulkhead, tailgate and ac couple spots on the side where the seal just doesn't seal all the way. Are there any recommendations for tailgate seals and other foam for sealing this cover more?

    IF THERE WERE A PACNW MEETUP...

    I’d love to do this would need plenty of notice. Im just getting into wheeling and over landing and don’t have much in the way of gear and I have a stock rig for the most part. I’m in the Sandy OR area so Mt Hood is great but also open to explore parts of WA. racing down the beach sounds fun!

    Tonneau cover

    Yeah that is the video I saw from Gator but it doesnt look like it is the FX version. Its possible it uses the same install process but not 100% sure.
