Hey all, this is my current truck build sheet as my truck is slightly tweaked for ability and load from a stock unit.

First... I call my truck Cerberus (three headed hell hound)
It is a 2015 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab Long Box Trail Team Edition TRD Sport in Super White
Currently on 315/70r17 Cooper St Maxx Tires on Procomp Vertigo 40 series rims and a custom 2.5" Lift. The truck sits 19" to the frame at the current moment while loaded.

Now that my basic list of completed mods are done. I am going to list the future upgrades and modifications that I currently have planned for the Truck and just need to find time and figure out a couple last things on a couple of them while working in trips work and personal life.

1. Hammer hangers and Custom Deaver leaf pack install
2. Rear shock replacement to fit new travel
3. Accessory mount system for the dash (tpam)
4. Upgraded onboard air system
5. Onboard water
6. Extended range fuel system
and this is the big one I have been planning for a while and need help on
7. 4.6 1urfe v8 and 6 speed A760f auto install WITH 4runner tcase (center locking version) (hoping for manual hi/lo and 4wd and electronic center lock)

That's an assemblage of some serious equipment!
Its definitely been a process of picking something, reviewing, researching and diving deeper into the information that is available. Something I pride myself on right now is the only frame modification I have made to this truck was done by mistake by the shop installing the rear shock hoops. We had agree'd to make a plate that used existing holes instead of welding like in the directions. Came back to holes in the frame through the original plate.
Currently without the rear hangers/shackle modifications that are due next month this is the type of performance I get with the front and rear of this truck. And while it is fully stuffed up there I can fully turn without touching at full lock.

That's outstanding. Having a bunch of cool parts is one thing but having the end result perform like that is an acomplishment. Well done! Especially stuffing those massive tires with no rub.

Went out to do a day trip in the truck to a hot spring with my new lady and had a little too much fun. wasn't low enough pressure to stay on top (11 front/8 rear) so it high centered when the snow got to 4' deep. reminder these are 35" tires and not one is touching the ground. IMAG1133.jpg
