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 a hill, and there has been numerous 2wd trucks parked in my driveway because that's as far as they can get!

This thread is just showing what I am doing to a blank canvas (aka SR) to personalize it the way I want.

It's gonna be slow and not much in ways of mechanical improvements. Maybe small lift to level in distant future.

Here's "Snowball" on the day I picked her up last week.

First thing I did when I got home was remove dealer sticker from tailgate.
It's a tailgate, not advertising billboard.
 
A few days after that... Air dam comes off. Yeah, it does look better without it.

I like your style. Starting with an sr and doing what you want! That’s why I went sr5

look forward to the progress!
 
Started underdoating with Fluid Film. Sprayed two cans underneath yesterday. Picked up 3 more.

We deal with road salt for about 6 months and I live right next to salt water.

Also, I work on a ferry. Sometimes we have to travel to another area and we take our vehicles with us. Deck is open at top and in rough weather we get spray coming over. Watching seawater rain down on your rig is real fun...o_O

Installed 4 metal cleats from a tundra. Much better than the plastic stock ones.

Fluid film rocks! First thing I'm doing once i pick mine up this week. Putting on a lift at work and coating it. Quebec uses road salt like it's going out of style so we are prone to rust and I want it lasting a lifetime. Looking forward to seeing the customizing. Love the black lettering on the tailgate
