Easy First Modifications on my New 2024 Tacoma!

[@cineaste1969]

Hi Chloe, been watching you for a little while. Two things that really got me to keep coming back. 1. That you do the mods yourself. I am a 60 year old man with pretty extensive metal fabrication skills and I still find it pretty cool to see you doing them. 2. Your cool and spotless garage. I know it may seem dumb but I often see people doing videos and their garages are awful. I will keep watching and seeing you do more mods on this truck. I even watch all the commercials so you get full, credit. Keep it up! 😊

She is an engineer, I used to be an electronic technician, who worked closely with the Hardware engineers, they are a different breed. Meticulous and very organized.

[@Punchie1989]

Got mine and it's been less than a week! Loving it so far. My first taco!

[@sscriver]

Good for you! Just got my fourth. Wouldn't have anything else.

[@mauiboy96768]

She’s a smart lady, the content is paying the truck. Love it.🤙💯

[@evo_one2250]

I bought a screen protector for my third gen using Chloe’s code. One of the best things I’ve done to my truck.

[@sballalien]

I watched this and finally caved. I bought my 24 off-road in Ice Cap today!

[@BrianPon-ve2tx]

which dongar adapter did you get? I have a '24 Hybrid TRD Pro, but I could not be sure and obviously do not want to order until I know if the 10-pin is correct

[@hillrunner2]

Congratulations once again, so excited for you those simple modifications are pretty nice , gives it personal touch. Enjoyed the video great content.

[@hillrunner2]

We are ready to buy a New Tacoma would like a review in future on engine performance, transmission shifting, electrical system. Enjoy your content, and enjoy your your new truck.

[@Auto-Minute]

Awesome video! Love the easy mods to kick things off on the new Tacoma :D

[@algarinthompson8749]

Congrats on the new Toy, Nice mods so far. The recovery hooks look GREAT!

[@jeffmorris739]

Chloe, those tow points look great! You could just offer them with and without powder coat. So fun to watch a young entrepreneur have a great idea and execute it. Maybe do a kick starter! Way to go.😀

[@WFORacer]

Key flex statement, “ because I have access to a CNC machine “ 🤣🤣🤣

[@bluecruiser2019]

Love those recovery points, great job👍

[@VortecEmachine]

You did a very good job with the tow hooks. 🔥 But also dont forget that it looks like you need bolts about half inch longer than factory . 🔥

[@throwednoe]

Good looking truck. Hard work pays off. Congrats, Chloe. 💯 🌮

[@robhype2372]

Congrats on your new purchase. I remember your DIY maintenance with your last Taco! Keep up the great work!

[@connorwalker2853]

A high clearance exhaust will be on my list. I plan on getting a long bed TRD off road in bronze oxide. Excited to see more mods for your truck. Thanks for the video!

[@mr_bluetaco]

Congrats on your first 4th Gen Mod video!!! Can't wait to check out your 4th Gen Rig at whatever cool SD event you'll make it out too.

[@teutsga1985]

If you leave the recovery points bare you will get galvanic corrosion due to the interface of steel lower reinforcement and bolts with the aluminum. Should do a clear coat or some type of anodizing/powdercoat to prevent the bare dissimilar metals from interacting. Also being a turbocharged engine, should look into what oil catch cans are available and it'll keep your intake cleaner as you won't be introducing oil and sunburnt particulate back into the intake and combustion cycle.

[@progritdrive]

Nice! Didn't think I'd have so much anticipation following someone's mod journey

[@larrymarcrum2483]

Just started watching your videos. Enjoying your content! Keep up the great!!!😃🇺🇸

[@carissajduran]

Just bought my 24 OR tonight down the road in Escondido! First truck! Immediately subscribed 😮😅

[@RogueAquariums]

Those first mods look very clean Chloe. I like the tow points especially. Anodizing them to match the Chavonia tie downs would look sharp.

[@markf8256]

Chloe, yes a detailed review of dash cams would be appreciated. I have a 2022 Tundra. The Toyota dash cam was an option so the wiring is already behind the rear view mirror cover.

[@evilgenius704]

Cool first set of mods! Looking forward to the cost discussion as I'm considering a Tacoma purchase.

[@douggentry9252]

Love your new Tacoma, congratulations! 🎉👍🏻

[@rastersplatter]

I have those first two mods on my gen3 and they are awesome.

[@jrod97ify]

Thanks for recommending Screen Protech! I’ve been searching for a good brand to prevent scratches. I just purchased an order

[@ntaphse]

You won’t be disappointed. I also have Screen Protech and so does a friend and we both are very happy with it.

[@timstanton2241]

Love the video. Fun to see you develop the tow hooks. Looking forward to seeing the future mods.

[@MrDkriz]

Same truck same mods so far. Keep them coming !!

[@AdrianG96247]

Awesome color! congratulations!!🎉 Here’s to the many new dope videos to come for the new taco👍🏼🤙🏽

[@andytn6507]

Awesome job on the tow hooks, Bare aluminum looks good, I would go with that.

[@LensOfMartin]

Sweet new truck and mods! I like the custom designed tow hooks too!

[@ShmokeNaPancake]

Ngl I was just like everyone else saying the price for these Tacomas is insane, but I recently went to the dealer to get my car maintenance on and decided to browse the lot and take a look for myself at these new 4th gen’s. Got the chance to take the off road for a ride and man so much tech and just overall has a nice feel to it. I can see how someone can easily be influenced to make the commitment for this truck you just have to g check it out for yourself to see what it’s about.

[@kenerickson4923]

My 1st 2 mods were tube style running boards and a rollup tonneau cover. The tonneau cover ties into bed rail so original tie down won't work. May need to get those red ones. The problem I see is they are stationary unless you bring a tool to move them to adjust them when needed.

[@justindevlieger9476]

Congrats can’t wait to see your mods I need those tow hooks in champagne bronze!!

[@kurtie12]

Dash cam a must👍🏿 nice install with the easy to use adapter

[@DimSumSDP]

Nice work on the billet tow hooks. It's great to have access to a cnc mill. Best investment is a 3d printer. Make prototypes before milling aluminum material.

[@nytop]

Those front recovery points look great! 🫡🫡🫡

[@marclaforest7379]

just bought the sport version, same color. Love it. Looking forward to your ideas on mods

[@RobAtlanta]

Enjoyed the video and patiently waiting for the Dongar dash adaptor with parking mode. My first 24 Tacoma off-road mod was a front cup holder insert. The sides get scratched with metal cups.

[@Jess-ip9ep]

Congratulations, I’m so happy and excited for you! Chloe Kuo Brand Tacoma products when! ❤

[@mmarsaw1]

Great content. I'm definitely getting the Dongar dash cam adapter.

[@MarroquinVidal]

Such a beautiful truck. Congratulations! I want the exact same model and color, it’s my dream. I hope to get it after I get my masters degree.

[@jamesr3364]

I think those look good and I hate chrome myself! Nice work on the design I like the 2nd prototype.

[@territuttle-flynn1585]

love the aluminum ones

[@georgedoolittle7574]

Massive truck. Seen one new one on the road and was very much surprised by the size of the machine.

[@alexromero1235]

Hello! Great content!! Love the passion when working, respect that a lot! Suggestion as a fellow DIYer hahahaha, get a 3D printer for test fitting parts so you can leave expensive materials for the final product. When engineering parts this has helped me a lot.

[@0xVeniVidiVici]

I also installed a dashcam after I got my new truck (GMC Canyon). Gotta watch out for the crazies on the road!

[@benjaminmartinez941]

You picked a nice color congrats on the 2024 taco

[@markmay8942]

We should have had a lottery to see how long it would take before you put on your first mod. LOL.

[@ChloeKuo]

'Twas only a matter of time 🤣

[@trentc7329]

That's not a truck. It's a business. Brand new truck of a new generation. She's getting in first with the sponsors of all the brand new aftermarket gear that no one has seen yet. That truck is going to pay for itself and more demoing aftermarket gear.

[@WillMcSpadden]

Sadly for most of the 24 Tacoma videos I’ve seen the “first mods” people are doing are literally useless LOL

[@Eddjr4994]

@@trentc7329Mark Brenner did the same mods on his channel

[@tpharo34]

I like the tow hooks 👍

[@MikeSchneider-wz3ol]

Beautiful Truck👏

[@mattheinbaugh46]

I was about to look up screen protectors. I put one on the main screen but I wanted to cover everything. Definitely going to buying those.

[@BrianWaller-qe7gr]

Yeah checked them out might get some they have my vehicle.

[@p47rr]

Yes dash can review video.

[@georgia_flyfisher2200]

Great information! Picked up my 24 TRD OR Saturday

[@savoryflan]

Amazing job on those tow hooks! One thing I would like to point out: Make sure the bolts get enough thread engagement. I noticed your new design is beefy and the original bolts may not be long enough.

[@grahamkrivanek2315]

You need some Westcott Designs products. Roof rack, rock sliders, lift kit ect👍

[@kaia4992]

Hi Chloe! Congratulations on your new Taco 4Gen! 🎉 So happy for you! I’m waiting on my Pro to come in! Are you planning on putting on a new front bumper w/ wench? Very interested if so. ❤

[@prescottosegie]

🔥🔥🔥🔥Chloe your Toyota tacoma look amazing I love it I look forward to your upcoming content 😎💪 I enjoy watching your channel and learning more trucks everytime

[@JohnWilliams-vr8fp]

Well, if you use the Integrated Dash Cam from Toyota there is a plug already in place. Just plug it in and get parking mode and running mode. So, yeh that would be nice from aftermarket adapters.

[@Gil4546]

Tow hooks look nice just the way they are

[@halomaster985]

I'm not a Toyota or a Tacoma person, so idk why I keep getting recommended your videos lmao. Congrats on the truck though!

[@rickhall3578]

Sweet! I'm picking up mine in a few hours

[@Blade-mh3mi]

Those billet bed rail parts are awesome! I wonder if they have any 4Runner stuff. Great vid!

[@morimo11]

I got the Dongar and the Garmin on your recommendation.

[@RyanLarivee]

I have a 24 offroad and the screen Protech was the first thing I did. I think I replaced the bezel twice on my 3rd gen before I put these screen protectors on best $ spent

[@EzScreenProtech]

LOVE IT!!

[@firebomb38]

Still rocking my Gen 2!!!

[@ggsdude1]

Mod monday: new transmission 😂😂😂

[@WillMcSpadden]

😂😂😂

[@Apoplectic_Spock]

Curious to see how long that bedliner lasts under stress and over time. Great post!

[@deantrainr]

Congrats on the 4th gen. Years ahead of the 3rd gen! Time to get rid of the 3rd gen; ancient history.

[@ronthompson2366]

Like the front tow points. Left in the white looks good matching the Toyota emblem. However, anodized or powder coat to match the red would look good, too. Flip of the coin. If you make another set, machine your logo into it. Add them to your merchandise store. [Design a pair for the rear as well]

[@avoltaz72]

got my bronze oxide sport at toyota carlsbad too! 😎

[@xman870096]

I have to admit I was not thrilled by the new 'styling' of this Gen 4 design, but after getting a closer look at yours it's definitely growing on me... As for the aluminum recovery pieces they do look great but in the back of my head I can't help thinking that aluminum is not as strong as steel so for a part that would literally have to handle the full weight of the truck not to mention the extra stress of maybe being winched out of a 'dicey' situation wouldn't steel be better??? But then I'm not an engineer so you tell me. I am eager to watch you 'build up' your new truck as you did your 2019, I know you'll do a great job of it!!!

[@hodad200]

Check out Trail tailor, they make tow recovery points for Land Cruisers. The ones on the LC200 look identical to yours.

[@jonathanmontalvo127]

I know you mentioned upgrade to the TRD cool air intake. Can’t wait to see that and where you end up getting it. I can’t find it anywhere

[@kevinayala7705]

The TRD Sport trim comes with a front dash

[@Jhollywood3698]

I’m pretty good with a wrench but I sure could use your help with the tech side .

[@AllenTolbert-ld9ms]

GM CK I Love That Color Enjoy Your New Ride GBU And Family And Crew Always Stay Safe 🙏❤️🌹

[@hermanrosario7045]

speaking of crazy road instances i remember when you ran over spay foam, that is a pain to remove

[@Justfor1day]

🎉keep the red theme.....you do nice work..for rookies like me would be nice if u mention sizes for tools and a msrp. On the kit prices...cost needs to be factored in to help decide what should be a must have or pass

[@furiousfragment7082]

Welcome to the era of manufacturing defects

[@christyhicks5530]

Love the new truck! I’ve got the 2024 as well. It is the same color and blackout package except it’s only the SR5. Anyway my point is if you could dash cam review would be great!

[@MrProfchaos71]

Is that Underground?

[@scottibass]

David vs Goliath for the size but remember that David wins! but yeah Toyota skimped out on those bed tie downs, they look like dollar hooks from the hardware bin at Home Depot

[@cuz129]

I'd recommend a tempered glass screen protector over a plastic film. Just feels better to the touch. At least for the main display.

[@pookelaq]

Interested to see what meso customs comes out with for the 4th gens!

[@CalvAnon]

Are you planning to add windows tinting on your mods checklist too?

[@eckos2310]

I would like to see a video comparing the GEN 4 to the GEN 3 back door and back passenger space as well as length of bed with tailgate down and up please. The back passenger space on the GEN four looks smaller than the GEN three as well as the back bed of the GEN four compared to the three.

[@E-TimeProductions]

Hi Chloe - great vids, keep up the awesome content!! Did the swirls on your instrument cluster go away after the protech film cured? I’m picking up my new Trailhunter this week and I’ve purchased the protech film to install ASAP, but was wondering how yours cured up for you? Nervous to clean before applying after seeing how easy it swirled on ya..

[@bubaa1218]

For next time when you’re cleaning your screen and your cluster, do you want to use a super flush microfiber towel? So it doesn’t scratch.

[@VictoriaWargaming]

If I wasn't already subscribed I would have after this video. Bookmarking!

[@J.Young808]

19:53 my thought was Breast Cancer awareness month in October and the 4th Gen is the raffles prize.

[@welfarestates8465]

Do another TRD front skid plate. They're on backorder at the dealerships though because eBay sellers have snapped them all up and are upcharging for them.

[@rolandiisotelo7659]

Congrats!!!

[@DonGe0-42]

Make sure to run the strength calcs. Steel is way stronger than aluminum so u need to be mindful of the geometry to ensure adequate robustness. Could become projectile!

[@JediGokuLee]

EXACTLY! That was my first thought especially with the mounting holes being off center a little bit. I think Chloe is an engineer by education so if she did run the numbers and this was the design, then major kudos to her as I think the design itself is more attractive than what is out in the market for 4th Gen right now. This girl never fails to impress!

[@petetran2018]

It's not a bad idea. I have a 23 Tundra i-Force MAX, but i plugged it into the OBD instead because I prefer to keep it running as a sentry. Still, Garmin dash is pretty good. I have the newer one, and the only thing I'll do is blacken the red indicator lights so people can't tell if it's recording or not.

[@LoganNolag]

The 2024 Tacoma actually has an OEM dashcam connector meant for the OEM dashcam so you don't even need to tap into the mirror connector if you get the right adapter.

[@victorlopez2132]

If you end up keeping the machined aluminum finish on the tow anchors, be sure to clear anodize them. I'm sure you already know that 😜

[@pjaygutierrez1407]

Love it! ❤️

[@samsever123]

I believe the dash cam powers off when the vehicle is off, when using that adapter. You have to hard wire for it to be on all the time

[@nmfirelover]

What length is your truck bed? I am getting so much inspiration from this! 😊

[@scottthomas2895]
