Here It Is!! My New 2024 Toyota Tacoma Gets Major Upgrades

[@westcottdesigns]

Great video as always👌. Can’t wait to get phase 2 done to just top it off.😉

[@TRDJon]

Can't wait!!! Thank you guys!

[@tylervandora8910]

I was dead set on finding a new 2023 on the lot about two months ago. I drove the 2024 and absolutely loved it. I now have the 2024 TRD Off Road in Underground as well. Love the truck

[@JacobHeberlie]

I’m tryin to hate on 4th gen and you’re making that damn near impossible!

[@TRDJon]

lol I'm sorry!

[@Steven-xj2rf]

They look cool, have a nice interior, motor is smooth, and better highway mpg. That said they noticeably have less power than GM Twins and don't drive as well which is certainly suggestive. I really wanted to want the Tacoma, but left a little disappointed as I need the grunt for towing. Why do I want it all?

[@Mjr1348]

I hate the 4th gen til I drove one. I bought a TRD off road premium. Pretty happy with it.

[@T-sm1bs]

Come hate on the price with the rest of us

[@ls60fd]

I know it's also for the channel but man I envy those that have the $$$ to buy a brand new truck and then not even a month later add on tons of offroad goodies like wheels, tires, lift etc etc. It's looking great though.

[@joeblack1052]

You won’t envy their payments Looking good doesn’t pay the bills

[@bradjessee9022]

You remember his finance rate was like 8.7 percent on a new vehicle

[@golfnut_4sure237]

Isn’t this just comped for the publicity that Westscott Designs will get out of the videos?

[@joeblack1052]

@@golfnut_4sure237 yeah sure but your average Joe isn’t going to be able to cut a deal

[@jamesg6071]

Used to be like that.. now that everything is paid off driving an older vehicle isn’t so bad at all

[@Vinyl_Enthusiast_818]

I love those guys man I'll never go anywhere else. It was a pleasure to meet you too John! I'm the dude with the Black Taco that was worked on right before yours. Looking good, I love that lighting on the Rack! 🔥🔥🔥💯

[@TRDJon]

It was great to meet you as well! I hope your drive home was great!!!!

[@trailrunnah8886]

Looks fantastic! I've watched some of Jeff's videos, I'm very impressed with the Wescott quality. Also psyched to see you off-roading this!

[@dn2610]

Awesome looking truck! The lift height, tire size and add on accessories is just perfect! Can't wait to see you offroad the Tacoma. Thanks for sharing!

[@TRDJon]

You and me both!

[@alexdavis_84]

Toyota Tacoma for the win! I’m waiting for the hybrid

[@tonynguyen5990]

I bought a 2024 4RUNNER in underground, I see my first upgrade, those rims are awsome thank you!

[@TRDJon]

OHHHHH YES

[@Johnny_Bee]

You did good Jon, that’s the perfect lift/wheel/tire setup…..truck looks great

[@mikegray7666]

WOW! What a transformation Jon! Truck looks great!!

[@TRDJon]

Glad you like it!

[@romeropostali520]

Thank you so much! I appreciate that!!

[@jmu2980]

Perfect lift,tire, and wheel setup

[@user-zs1fr7im6l]

ARIZONA ALWAYS FUN TIMES HERE ! WESTCOTT DESIGNS only way to go !

[@KrazyKajun602]

I think WescottDesigns needs to put a store in every state!! They need to make tree, stump, Alligator sliders for us here in Louisiana.

[@TRDJon]

Call them up and they will recommend a qualified shop they trust closest to you.

[@oneboomer1729]

That truck looks AMAZING!!! Love it so far!

[@skarphase9088]

MMAN the Taco is gorgeous! I think im sold on that rear tire carrier..feels like it'll make so much more rear clearance.

[@TRDJon]

It does!

[@maureeceposten47]

Awesome Jon, simply Awesome. I definitely love the bronze wheels too.

[@TRDJon]

Thanks 👍

[@patricktrier4503]

With that lift I think that is the perfect size of tire for this truck.

[@FL_Jake]

That truck looks amazing. I enjoyed seeing the production and craftsmanship of the rock sliders.

[@TRDJon]

Glad you enjoyed it!!!

[@joseaqui]

Love it, Jon! Loving the 2024 Tacoma and the mods out there are insane!

[@TRDJon]

Thanks!!!

[@tacodrewww]

Im running a 285/75r17 tire 33.9 , it’s a perfect size if you don’t want to get to crazy . Great transformation looks good 👍

[@TRDJon]

Totally agree!

[@Patrick-ld4gx]

Looks so good. I'm over here just getting through my 1st thousand km's on my 2024 t4r off road. Also in underground ;)

[@m.687]

Any issues with the drivetrain yet? Crazy that we even have to ask that question.

[@richardwarfield7386]

Your truck is really sharp lookin Jon. I love the color and the rear spare tire carrier. Well done with Westcott

[@TRDJon]

Amazing job by them!

[@Papolucho702]

My goodness this thing looks so bad ass! The underground is just miles better than the magnetic gray.

[@TRDJon]

Looks dope for sure!

[@jtalonrider4769]

This is how you do a upgrade! Clean!

[@tylerklossen4013]

Man that thing looks so mean, I absolutely love it

[@stevenallen3457]

Dude that looks freaking sweet

[@frankburch5104]

This is going to be a fabulous build and I can't wait to see the next phase. Did you have any rub on the front tires?

[@TRDJon]

Just on the mud flaps a tad. Nothing major at all

[@miken8336]

Looks bad ass man, continue with the great content!

[@TRDJon]

Will do bro!

[@is6566]

Jon, upgrades look good. Two questions. One, are the rock sliders frame or body mounted? Two, you mentioned the drop in mpg after the wheel upgrade. How much is it exactly? Thanks.

[@TRDJon]

Still trying to even that out and see how off the trucks computer is. But the they are bolted to the frame. Around 17 MPG per the computer right now.

[@DunnMotors]

Dude! That's sweet! Perfect set up man. That rooftop set up sets it off so good. 👌

[@nathanrajevski]

Eh I have been loving your Tacoma 2023 TRD Offroad content! Cant belive I see you here! Getting the same truck you have in 3 weeks! Hoping it lasts me! First vehicle purchase I will be making!

[@DunnMotors]

@nathanrajevski thank you so much for saying this! Please let me know when you get yours and how you like it. I appreciate the compliment and I will continue to do the best I can for you. Thanks again 😁

[@TRDJon]

Thanks so much man. I appreciate you! I’ll take a gander at your content too. Thanks!!!

[@citizenpark2782]

Sweet rig. Aside from the wind noise from the lights…. How is the wind noise of the rack itself?

[@TRDJon]

Non existent. If there was no light bar up top, I feel it would be as if it was stock.

[@ggarrison1087]

well done sir.i also like a little poke now and then

[@TRDJon]

Perfect poke IMO

Nice functional off road design Jon, I'd remove the decal on the rear quarter for a cleaner look and black out the Oval on the grill.

[@TRDJon]

Jeff has plans for it 🫣

[@eddieBoxer]

Driving that new truck off road over rocks man you're crazy, its your truck I'm sure after a few mud runs and rock climbs your gonna sell this truck to another sucker.

It will all be here on KZbin.

Looks Great Jon! 👍🏽

[@terrancelr]

How does the preload collar affect ride quality? Is it basically the same or a bit stiffer? I’ve been looking into their preload collars

[@TRDJon]

It’s kinda suffered the rebound a little I feel. Need to talk with Jeff about it

[@Hengsha]

Man the Tacoma is looking MEAN, I like those rock sliders

[@TRDJon]

FOR SURE

[@nordlandak6853]

Toyota builder for Land Cruiser is up. Mid range starts at 63k. Add tech option and price is more than base gx550. The new 4 runner will be upper 50k. Current gen 4Runner is over 50k!

[@dayv4630]

ugh...it looks so good. Your videos helped me build my 2023. I'll be following along - who knows what the future holds. And yes +12 offset looks perfect (I'm at zero on my 2023, wish i woulda done -12).

Must say I wasn’t impressed with the look of your taco all stock but those mods you’ve had done have taken that taco into a sharp looking truck , very tasteful, much better than I would’ve expected

[@patricktrier4503]

Did you compare your fuel economy with your tire and wheel setup vs Mark’s wider and taller wheel and tire combo? Wondering if that difference makes a huge difference in fuel economy.

[@TRDJon]

Still trying to get an idea of where it is. But liooks like it will be more than his

Looks awesome man! Nice work. 💪 💯

[@TRDJon]

Thanks bro!

[@DynoEagle]

Looks really good

[@andyleo8418]

I don't like the swing out tire rack on the tailgate. I think a roof top tire makes more sense especially with the rack already there.

[@TRDJon]

You can run it how you like for sure! It would just be added weight and drag uptop that i personally don't wanna deal with

What size rigid lightbar did you use? Also what specs did you choose for the roof rack and the rock sliders? Trying to figure out if its worth spending the max amount or if I can save some money somewhere without it hurting.

Wow ! Nice looking truck very impressive , just a quick question Jon does the Tacoma need to a re gear for the bigger tire set up ? Did it loose power where it hunts for gears on the highway now ? Thanks
