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.

If you have any questions feel free to ask. I have more mods to come including more overland gear. I also have many other trips to go on. And if you are in the Phoenix area and want to go explore let me know.

Sweet truck!

How's your performance with the toyo tires? And do you notice any rubbing?
The truck does fine with the tires. Its a little slower than stock but thats okay not a big deal. and no rubbing i have the cab mount chopped and some plastic trimmed.

Nice placement of the ob emblem. What made you choose that spot?
I plan to put mine in the same spot actually

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.
