Lifted Tacoma TRD Off Road - Build Update 2021 (Tons of Mods)

[@miamitreasurehunter]

Nicely done my man!! I just bought the 2022 SR5 and am having a blast modifying it. Love your videos!

[@sterlinmartinez8709]

Mans made it really clear he doesn’t need the camera.😂😂 fire vids bro!

[@TacoRick]

Thanks

[@steve8803]

Nice build! I am too cheap to go all out like that lol. I am getting one soon. Only plans are to plasti dip the emblems and wheels black, and upgrade the tires to 265/75-16 ko2's which should give a half inch lift and look meaner.

[@1stGenMillie]

Me too, and a trd lift

[@brandonhicks7215]

I like them head lights wanted to do the same thing to mine and have someone do it but no one around here does that anymore

[@hernilsoriano4873]

Hi can you send the link where you bought the trd grille..nice mods Thanks

[@TacoRick]

It's linked in the description

[@franciscoresendiz1127]

Hi sir nice truck I have question what is the MPG with u lift kit and tires on

[@TacoRick]

Check out the video I made going over this

[@TorstenStett]

Did you have to change the driver's side needle bearing after the lift? I've read multiple stories where the bearing strips out after a lift and causes a front-end vibration.

[@TacoRick]

No and had no issues since lifting. 50k + miles on it now

[@fayeztheG]

great video ! I just got my tacoma OV tune best mod I ever installed on my truck , helps with the lag acceleration due to lifting the truck

[@OfficialAing]

HOW IS IT? Going to get it maybe tomorrow.......

[@fayeztheG]

@@OfficialAing it is worth every penny I love and increase my mpg but 2mpg🤲🏼

[@OfficialAing]

@@fayeztheG THAT IS WHATS UP! I am getting it done for $200, should be fun. Im on 33s and a 2 inch lift so I need the responsiveness

[@fayeztheG]

Look sick Awesome truck Great job man!!!!

Great truck! Amazing mods, well done.

[@eliasbeas3556]

I agree with the dealer warranties being a complete scam. I fell for this, and over time I realized that it was a joke. Often I would get charged for random things even if it was under "warranty". I said screw it and cancelled it and got my money back. If anyone paid for this joke service, you are 100% entitled to get your money back, of course the amount you get back depends on how much of this "warranty" you have used. I have since been taking care of and maintaining my truck myself. Its easy people, read your trucks manual. It will teach you how to take care of your truck. Its pretty straight forward.

[@yooper9062]

Why no keep the bilstein shocks on and just run a spacer kit? Bilsteins are better than the rough country shocks no?

[@TacoRick]

The rear has to be replaced due to travel. But the fronts you can run a spacer only but your going to be putting more force on the front struts then they are designed for. Which is why I replaced with rough country. The rough country struts are bigger and ment for higher forces than the stock bilsteins

[@jarodwilliams4544]

Beautiful Truck! I had one same color which I gave to my nephew for his 16th bday and I got a new ranger but I don't have anything bad to say about it , I like Toyota always have always will but I like my lil ranger as well. Also about the Chrome.........I too HATE chrome, and as you know they gotta stick a little here and there even though you bought one without Chrome bumpers and mirrors .......maybe one day they will figure it out who knows.

[@wess1454]

Nice truck. Hoping to get the 2021 off road this week. How’s your MPG on it? Also I noticed the back bumper on the 2021 is chrome. Did you mod yours or did it come in the cement color?

[@TacoRick]

Mine is color matched. I have a video on this channel doing mpg testing with the lift kit.

[@carlosparodiretail]

You went all out!!!! Looks fantastic, love the lights??

[@cesarmoreno4176]

Hello Sir great TRUCK!!!! Where Did you get the lights for interior ingine?

[@TacoRick]

I made a video on it!

[@danielscott4901]

I might drive 25,000 miles in 3 years 🤣 Love the truck man! Hope to get one soon but the cement color in the Off Road is so hard to find!

[@TacoRick]

Tell me about it. Only 2 dealers out of 12 in my area had on

[@JaMiEsHoRtY21]

Hey there! I’m from California! I just got my 2021 tacoma in cement. I see sooooo many here it’s crazy to think it’s rare in other places. If you’re not too far the area of SD and LA area there is a lot you do have to just drive a little more deep into these areas.(: problem is, if you want a 4x4 it is a bit more difficult!

[@danielscott4901]

@@JaMiEsHoRtY21 I’m in Nashville so I’m a little far from SD haha!

[@cameronm2203]

did you do diff drop, sway drops, carrier bearing drop?????? i am getting new sr 5 Tuesday, would like to do 2 inch front 1 inch rear lift, please advise

[@TacoRick]

I made a full how to install this lift kit. Check it our

[@akimboslice9566]

Does anyone know where you can find a lunar rock Trd pro hood ? Or who sells them ?

[@M4Comprtition]

Man a like your sticker in the back of your truck, where can I get one like this? Thank you for the vido I have done a lot of mod to my 2021 of road so far and I only have one month with my truck and I love it 😃.

[@TacoRick]

Inshane designs

[@juanpena1656]

Awesome Build ❤

[@GKWunder]

loving the truck dude

[@michaelchapman4955]

Might you or anyone here happen to suspect that the overall Ride Comfort & Road/Cabin noise between the Tacoma TRD Off-Road & Limited are in reality fairly close... as I feel somewhat Stuck in making a decision between these 2 ... As I prefer the TRD Off-Road Lean profile a little better with No Air Dam, etc... but like the Limited Pkg ??

[@vmac5421]

U should get a chrome trim delete kit for the interior

[@TacoRick]

Agree

[@carlosvicens2523]

Yeah I got the Meso Customs chrome delete for the AC vent rings and the steering wheel emblem, love the matt black look it gave my interior.

[@geminij610]

Nice truck bro. Like your mods. You should get a diamond back cover. I got one and it is sturdy and looks great.

[@All_Things_Pew]

Metal rear bumper i saw one that has bsm and parking sensors that looks pretty sick! Want to start modding my 2021 tacoma trd offroad soon mine is all so cement grey but i have the 6ft bed

[@jedifabiano930]

Have you regeared it just yet? I know you walked through the stock gearing with how it catches!

[@TacoRick]

Yep its still stock gearing. But it doesn't bother me just yet. And it cost a lot to do so

[@jedifabiano930]

@@TacoRick what’s it run?

[@TacoRick]

4 to 5 grand installed

[@jordan3576]

What part of NC are you from? I swear I have either seen you or someone who loves your Tacoma so much they have pretty much the same one

[@TacoRick]

Greensboro area.

[@kaner6888]

Great video! Do you use any spacer for the driver side lean?

[@TacoRick]

Driver side lean?

[@kaner6888]

I have a 2017 TRD Off road. Was looking at some lifts and came across articles talking about the Driver Side lean. Measured mine and it is 1 inch lower on the driver side. Does not sound as though you had this issue. www.tacomaworld.com/threads/tacoma-lean-fix-bilstein-5100-setup.362595/

[@TacoRick]

I havent noticed an issue if there is one

[@kaner6888]

Good deal. Thanks for the response

[@JaydeAsh]

Very Nice Rig !!

[@mblake0420]

Any vibration? Need to Ditch that trailer brake controller and get the redarc

[@TacoRick]

No vibration

[@christophermartinez5314]

Great video

[@andrewmcwilliams1229]

Tint the windows next I tinted my tacoma with a brow on the windshield and it looks great

[@andrewmcwilliams1229]

Cost me about $170 to match the front to the back and the brow

[@TacoRick]

I actually have tint on it. Its just the low legal %

[@snowboarddan5899]

Think would like great with a bull brush guard make it more agressive

[@TacoRick]

I want to do a hybrid meatl front bumper down the line

[@sapphire3375]

whats your best estimate on the total cost for your mods altogether

[@TacoRick]

Probably 8k if I had to guess

[@brucegarethgeorge]

Do you intend to upgrade the sound system?

[@AeroAstro_321]

The premium sound system you can get stock is actually really good

[@TacoRick]

The JBL premium on my model is excellent.

[@doubblea2]

Lol. I only have 2500 km on mine and I’ve done pretty as much as you. Lolol.

[@vaishnavdeenoo6033]

Nice truck 😇😇😈😈

[@GJRICHY1990]

What running boards do you have,

[@TacoRick]

Stock predator steps

[@mattwoolwine7592]

What exhaust are you thinking about?

[@TacoRick]

Literally no idea. I have seen a few people recommend borla, MBRP, Flowmaster. I can't decide

[@mattwoolwine7592]

Excited to see what you go with. Personally, I’m a fan of Borla!

[@TacoRick]

I was leaning that way to be honest. MBRP and Flowmaster seem to be overdone

[@crazzedvman22]

Magnussen supercharger next????

[@TacoRick]

I want it but honestly it cost so much that I would rather put the money towards a sports car to start a new build

[@Capachin0]

Lifts/mods do not void factory warranty unless they are the direct cause of the issue.

[@TacoRick]

Depends. A lot of those purchased warranties they will claim anything practically caused the failer. Seen a bunch of people get screwed over

[@nicholask7347]

Lifting over 6" or adding a supercharger are the only two things that ruin my factory warranty.
