Hltaco’s 20 TRD Offroad

[Hltaco]

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.

Wanted to give a thanks to @midnight20pro for giving me a hell of a deal on all his pro take offs. They’ll start coming on tomorrow (hopefully).

 

[Bird dog]

Welcome aboard.

 

[midnight20pro]

Bro anytime! Wanted to pay it forward and can't wait to see your Pro come together! Enjoy man

installed these steps for the kids. It’ll hold me over until I get some real sliders.

I used my factory ones as sliders quite a bit lol. They held up good

it’s about to go down!

Bought a used softopper last week as well. Not sure if I prefer this color or tan. I have a tonneau for everyday use, and this softopper will be reserved for adventures

TRD pro front coilovers, rear shocks and leaf springs. Was a lot easier than expected.

Edit: TRD pro skid was added as well.

It’s so nice to work on a new truck. How’s the ride now?

Yesss!!!! Congrats man and well done, that was a fast turn around! Funny how stock components just fit like that huh?

When things are new and nothing is rusted/dirty, it definitely makes for fast work. Also doesn’t hurt that I’ve probably watched every “how to install” videos on YouTube. Haha

Congrats on the new Taco buddy, suspension looks great too!

 

[Hltaco]

Pro Tail lights and Mountain Hatch installed.

Rigid Fogs installed today as well

 

[Tacomadad18]

Very nice

You must have a lot laying around waiting to go on lol

 

[Hltaco]

Just happened that I purchased quite a bit of things this past week. Wife wasn’t too happy, but I told her it’s for “us”. All the stock pro components came off of @midnight20pro truck. His truck looks absolutely amazing, just wanted to rub my face all over that shiny icon suspension he has. Hahaha

That makes sense lol yeah mine rolls her eyes a lot, I think it’s for the same reason

Wish me luck, gonna try and convince her we need just a bit more clearance so I can get some new shoes for the taco

Just don’t compare it to a shoe/ makeup/ clothes purchase. That doesn’t go over well.

Looking forward to it!

I was offline most of the day but stoked you got all the parts on there! Love the hatch and the fogs look great! Enjoy the new pro!

 

[Hltaco]

Yeah, definitely got that faux pro vibe going on. Only had time to put parts on, still need an alignment so haven’t driven it quite yet.

Does anyone here do their own alignment? Or what shops do you guys trust to do an alignment on the truck? Feel like the big box tire shops usually do subpar jobs (America’s tires, Firestone, les schwab, etc).

Might have luck calling 4 wheel parts. When I called the store in Reno they recommended a couple shops that could work on my suspension components. Good luck!

 

[TRDcement_taco19]

Nice taco congrats. Already upgrading modding the the new taco = awesomeness

A little google search showed that a shop called StellarBuilt is close by. They apparently specialize in lifted Yotas.

Thanks man! Definitely is addicting, that’s for sure. Time to look for a second job to support my new addiction
