Jamie's 2016 Tacoma Build

[JTS2016TACO]

Hello everyone I want to use this thread as a place to keep track of my build on my 2016 Tacoma. I purchased the truck on July 24, 2016 after trading in my wrx.

This is the last picture I have of the car and the dealership put it in this spot right after I traded it in this is the last time I saw the car. This is not my first truck but here's a picture of my last tacoma.

And before the wrx I also had a tundra.


Anyways if anyone really wants to know the reason for all the vehicle changes I can answer as we go. Back to the build here's what the truck currently looks like.


In the post below this I'll post a list of mods.

Sweet truck!

How's your performance with the toyo tires? And do you notice any rubbing?

I just thought it would be a good spot as its not a painted surface so if I decide I don't like it I wont have faded paint. But I really like the badge so it most likely wont ever come off.

That will be good, stefen is having his bed bars turned into a bed rack right now by the same guy. I like the rack > bars because the bars can shift apart.
