build thread

Aloha from the Big Island of Hawaii! Just a couple pix of my '19 Tacoma TRD OffRoad Access Cab - it has a 6" ProComp lift and 295/70R17 Falken Wildpeak M/Ts... Lots of plans for it, but gotta see if my checkbook can keep up!

The day I brought it home, July 2020.

Hello, about a month ago I traded my '14 Ram in on a brand-new 2020 tacoma Sr sx. This is my first brand new truck and my first Toyota. It's only a 2wd with dreaded 4 cyl. So don't rag on me to hard. Only thing I've done so far is remove the chin spoiler and add some step bars. Probably not...

Hey all! Name's Jordan living in Denver, CO by way of San Diego, CA. Polu (Hawaiian for blue) is my 17 TRD OffRoad. Bought her September 2017, my 4th Tacoma. Been a long time since I've joined a car owner forum so glad to be here and get some ideas. Eventually she will be a fully fitted rig...

Yo guys n gals! My name is Jake , up in Spokane Washington and ive been slowly piecing together my 2019 tacoma trd offroad. Upgraded from a 2018 Subaru crosstrek that I lifted and did all the “offroad” things too but it was still piss poor capable on anything but fire roads. (Lol) So, I finally...

Wanted to official say what’s up to everyone here! Bought my taco a few months ago, and I think it’s about time I start adding some “extras” to it. Obligatory purchase picture. My first truck I’ve owned, and the only vehicle I’ve ever purchased new.

Hi everyone, just purchased an new 2020 Tacoma TRD OR in Quicksand three weeks ago, this is my 8 Toyota pickup, the first being a 1987 Turbo pickup in Tan. I purchased the truck now, because I wanted Quicksand. I had to drive about 750 miles to get the truck. I do like my Toyota trucks. With...

Traded in a 4R for a PRO - I got what I thought was an insane trade-in value for the 4R and opted to reset the mileage since I was at 122k in barely 4yrs of ownership. I'll miss it, but I'm excited to be back in a Tacoma - it just suits me better, although I have zero bad to say about my 4R...

Hello T3G Members; I'm a new member and Taco enthusiast. looking to learn more and find out what other Taco owners know that I don't. I am excited and have already began looking at the different threads and posts. See you in the Jungle..! Harry

Currently, I have K&N cold air intake on with a muffler delete, 1.5-inch spacers, and a 2-inch lift in the front. As well as a soft topper. I am open to suggestions for my next modifications. I am trying to save up for long travel. Currently living in the ND/MN area so if you know of any...

Hey what's up everyone? I'm a new member to this site but like what I see so far. Picked up a 2020 Super White TRD OR about a month ago. Been lurking hard and learning a ton so I do not ask the same questions every new member does(Will this tire fit? or What lift? lol). Looking for other AZ...

Whats up 3G. Now that it has been one year and 15k miles later, I have come to the conclusion that I would have just saved a few bucks if I went with an OR over a Pro now that I have replaced just about everything except for the wheels. You live and learn, and at least I still have my sunroof...

Hello everyone, I own a 2019 trd off-road taco and have been very happy with it. I am a photographer, adventurer and homeowner with a honey-do list as long as my arm so glad to get out of a wagon and into a truck. I've got a lot of mods to come to help facilitate my need to take my Kayaks...

Hi everyone, I bought my self a brand new 2019 magnetic gray DCSB OR. My first new truck! I've got rid of my venerable 2003 with 3in lift, 285 and JBA UCA. So, at the dealer, I've ask my salesman can I try that trd OR that you got? He said to me what trd OR?? We've sold all the 2020 and it's...

So I had a 16 OR, and traded it in for a Jeep GC about a year ago. Stupid move I know. Either way, about a month ago I said piss on it and got rid of the Jeep and picked up a 2020 TRD Sport. Love the new ride. Either way, I work for the local power company here in Iowa, and I've been in the Army...

So I know this has been asked before, and I've looked at a TON of threads, but I have to ask... which one do you folks recommend? I hear the fit for the original Bestop (w/windows) isn't great for the 3rd gen Tacomas. Is this the case? I like the idea of having windows, but if fitment is...

Just upgraded from my old '95 tacoma to a 2018. Wondering what y'all recommend starting with as I start to make the truck my own. Just looking to do some weekend overlanding and dailying the truck during the week. Thanks

Thought I'd say hey, hey.

Finally got some half decent photos, so I figured I would stop lurking and actually put something on the site. Have mostly done cosmetic upgrades so far and plan on doing some more substantial things later this summer. Excited to soak up the inspiration from everyone else! Next steps are some...

Hey Everyone, first truck and Tacoma. Will be a daily driver, mall crawler and mostly haul antiques, wood and plywood for home projects. Been lurking for the past month while trying to find my Tacoma and you guys have me excited to start making upgrades. I’m not sure what the experience has...

Figured I'd start a thread on my build. I picked this up in October of 2019 shortly after wrecking my Second Gen. The very first thing I did was add a roof rack. I go kayak fishing, and have two over-sized kayaks. With the short bed, there weren't many options aside from a trailer or hitch...

Hey what’s up guys! So I recently purchased a new 2020 Tacoma. I had an 02 Tacoma years ago and have wanted another for the longest. Now I didn’t get the highest model and was looking to see if I could add more power. And maybe see if there’s any other mods you’d recommend to make it camper...

I used to go four wheeling with a friend many years ago, who had a modified K5 Blazer. We did it all, rock crawling, chasing Jeeps. He has moved away now and I purchased a Tacoma this year to help expand my ability to go camping in SOCAL. Looking for groups who know the BLM Lands and also have...

Pretty new here, found this page on instagram. Thought I’d post a little transformation in the little time (3 months) I’ve had my Tacoma. I like seeing all the different ideas everybody else has.

The excitement is starting to get to me. I've been contemplating on a new vehicle for a while now. I was all over the place. Sequoia, 4 Runner, GX460... Friday, after some careful thought and convincing the wife, I pulled the trigger on a new White DCSB Off Road. We've always wanted a pickup. I...

I've been lurking on here since early March, made an account a few weeks ago, then finally pulled the trigger on a 2020 Super White DCSB OR MT last weekend. This is my first truck and first Toyota. I have been driving and modifying Jeeps since I started driving (never owned anything else), but...

Hello. I've been reading for a while and thought it was about time that I joined. A little about myself, I purchased a 2019 DCSB OR at the end of the year and have made some changes, but all the big ticket items I had in mind are currently on hold until life gets back to normal. It's mostly a...

I know this topic has been all over the place but in my old 04 taco I put a nasty system in it and I traded it in and bought the 2020 sr5 and was surprised to hear how good the sound system was until I faded to the rear speakers and was utterly shocked!! Looks like an amp and new speakers is the...

Hey all, thanks for the add! Just picked up a 2020 Quicksand TRD OR this week and have been reading threads on TW to the point my head spins without getting any definitive answers. 3cTaco messaged me about this place and I am glad he did. Going to do some searching before asking some questions.

This is more of a personalization build than a off road build. Never bought the Taco for off-roading. I use it for, well truck stuff, hauling various items where a 6 foot box is needed. 4wd for me is a definite need. Mostly because of steep hills on poorly plowed winter roads. I live partway up...
