Top Five Toyota Tacoma Mods!

[@carsonp.7009]

Dont know about you but i love the front "toyota" instead of the badge

[@Maxx.Powell]

Same here

[@zaydbates9428]

Honestly with any truck the name looks better than the logo

[@basketballjohnson3124]

Literally a copy of the raptor

[@HoonAgain]

1000% AGREE!! Goes from stock to badass

[@sevenofnine2915]

Love it! I swapped my badge grill two days ago for the TOYOTA letters and I can't stop looking at it. The letter colors match the truck (Cement) so it is a perfect compliment.

[@MarkMollat]

I agree... the winch gives you that confidence that you can take your truck anywhere and if you get it stuck, you got the winch to help you.

[@matttorres8921]

4:25 "I thought he said it could light up that" 4:26 "GAHHHHH!!!!"

[@NyQuiI]

Electric start... *proceeds to pull start*

[@JFKEOD]

Good to see some Tacoma footage once again. I was starting to go through withdrawals.

[@MirelaNellis]

“Have I gone to far? I think I’ve gone to far...” 😂😂😂😂

[@xmuknightx]

Was that Iron Maiden?

[@mwgcubs]

Too

[@_brittrr]

I'm liking your Yota. Not overly done but still enough so it has an edge. Love it. In the process of adding a couple more things here and there on mine.

[@JoseEvo]

Please more Taco and off road content

[@coltonpeare1917]

Glad to know it's not just my dog that looks like an ASPCA commercial during bath time.

[@AM-pp2bh]

Dude I love this bumper it’s looks so aggressive

[@menacemayhem]

I see you driving like a natural 2:36

[@ridgecamper18]

When the kids get older you will like those sliders with the steps. Just put some on my Rubicon last weekend for that reason.

[@Jimi-Funkycold-Molina]

Just bought my 2020 Toyota Tacoma. Can’t wait to start modifying it!!

[@Maxx.Powell]

Congrats man! 🍻

[@Jimi-Funkycold-Molina]

Maxx Powell I’m cheersing to that now

[@inkslingerdrew]

for me, the audio is ALWAYS the first thing to change in a car, because you will ALWAYS use it. its either BOOM or bust. then we can talk about offroad mods lol. Besides having some badass tunes while doin badass things is always fun.

[@kingferny93]

Sooooo Mucccchhh Hand Movements !!! 😂

[@selewachm]

He watches Scott Killmer

[@Evo1313]

Definitely take kids when a little older, great memories when i was little in my dads international scout n jeeps.

[@pony0110]

picking up my 2021 trd off road in two weeks, great video brother... excited

[@DukesofoffroadHazzard]

I just did a video of my buddies Tacoma’s...a 2018 TRD off-road and a 2019 TRD pro!!! These trucks are incredibly capable!!! Great video.

[@rafaelperez7453]

I have 3 inch puck spacer in the front and 2 in the rear. Falken wildpeaks and it gives my truck a nice aggressive look and it performs pretty well off road (I don't go rock climbing or hardcore out in the woods) I go to light trails and such. I plan on going HAM in the future though.

[@albertoabril9537]

Love my 19 TRD OFF ROAD, is made in USA.

[@thegonger1]

No puck spacers or blocks, coil overs and springs all the way! Just my. 02...🤙🤙🤙

[@TheShooter466]

i agree with the sliders statement. i don't offroad too much but i use them as side steps

[@Maxx.Powell]

They are handy!

[@TheSjh196]

The grill looks nice

[@ericsweeney7027]

Man, I thought for sure my console organizer would have made the list.

[@davidhoxit4274]

I like all aspects of your channel, the Taco looks great...my favorite was the Ronnie James Dio mod, that was awesome!! Great video!!

[@leohenriq8032]

Dio!!! 🤘❤🎸

[@fouUili684]

Thanks for an informative video, best mod on my Tundra are my king shocks. Other than that it’s gonna be 33” tires on 17” wheels, sliders and be done. So many mods are not necessary like you’ve said but that’s what I’ve narrowed down mine to.

[@Countdracula6]

Was not expecting that Dio scene 😂

[@tpharo34]

Good looking rig. I am able to ride on 33s on a 23 trial Tacoma with OTT tune with no suspension modification. Plan for more weight and bumpers. Gears (4.88) before weight comes though.

[@arturo762]

Came for the mods, stayed for the dogs.

[@beyondspace3736]

ive had toyota Tacoma's since 1985, they hold up good

[@TacomaDad]

Mods on the truck are awesome. It’s definitely a sweet Tacoma!

[@patriotsedge6730]

Blasting some Holy Diver! Dio! Good vid.

[@pacificnorthwesttacoma4916]

Great video!

[@rosshoss22]

That truck is the backbone of this channel

[@Maxx.Powell]

That makes me the brain and my family the heart. I can live with that 😘

[@rosshoss22]

Maxx Powell hell yeah man love the channel. Been here since 11K

[@chrishamilton4501]

Haha this video reminded me of Talladega Nights, “I’m not sure what to do with my hands”. *Karate chop motions*

[@Maxx.Powell]

Hahaha I noticed that too lol

[@chrishamilton4501]

Maxx Powell nonetheless favorite KZbinr by far. You’re hilarious!

[@socaloutdoors7355]

Rock Sliders a must...great vid.

[@nurses2tech]

So hilarious with the wig and singing clip. I’m a new sub and laughing my face off now. Btw I’m getting a new tundra to replace 20y/o tundra and will use for off-road mountain biking camping adventures. Considering a Tacoma but want the extra size to carry more bikes and stuff

[@atomicorang]

videos are really self esteem boosters.

[@__Andrew]

Any nice strong bumper/guard is worth the price. I had a ARB bull bar (ARB 3423130 is about 1,000 dollars or less and looks great on older Tacomas) on my old '97 Jeep Grand Larado. One night a big buck charged out into the road on me and i hit it almost head on going 50. The *only* damage to the front was a cracked reflector. The deer did bounce off the side and slam into my front quarter panel, but if i had not had that ARB on the front it would have been thousands in damages. No doubt i would have had busted headlights, hood crumbled in, radiator busted, and who knows what else. Spending a little upfront on a strong guard is a _great_ insurance policy.

[@blakeglassco]

Andrew my TJM steel bumper just saved my ass on a trail in Baja 2 weeks ago.... I should have my radiator pushed in, but had no mechanical damage and was able to drive home unscathed. I will never not have a steel front bumper again 👌🏼

[@Beachcraft48]

Thanks for the video; love the backdrop!👍

[@Maxx.Powell]

Me too! Thanks for watching!

[@brianchisnell1548]

Pay cash and keep them stock. Great trade in value.

[@stephenriggs8374]

Nice Taco. I’m looking to get a Tacoma soon and I’m definitely interested in putting on some mods and would love to see more information about suspension. Thank you for the good contact. Also, dogs are the best we don’t deserve them.

[@grindstone4910]

Test drove a '20 Pro yesterday. Coming from a late 2nd gen Sport, what a difference. Once I get a dealer who doesn't try to gouge the fuck out of me, I'm getting one. Your videos have had a part in putting me into this debt lol

[@hereticstudio]

Great list! Keep up the good work!

[@wadevanpelt1062]

Great video Maxx. Would you happen to have a video for top 5 modifications to a Toyota tundra?

[@mikecurtis4464]

The 2nd mod I did was sliders, after tires, many more later. I went off a rock step I didn't anticipate while driving into the sun, and kissed the slider hard. It soaked up the hit no problem, but would have been a major rocker-panel bummer had I not installed them.

[@MrWesleysDad]

Thanks man. I was wondering how people felt about their lifts, tires, and shaving the front for that style of bumper/winch combo. I’m aiming to buy a new Tacoma this year, and I’ve been exploring options to get the full use of the truck, sans the things causing headaches lol.

[@BB-zc4gq]

The first thing I did before I added anything to mine was get it tuned. Stock it drove like an old dog. Add weight to it without a tune, then you got an old dead dog.

[@coltonpeare1917]

Love that you threw in footage of the tacomas short lived prerunner career. Loom ar that long travel work.

[@michaelj.kastner5165]

Mod-6. Magnuson SuperCharger ! !!!!!!!!!!-

[@19993gt]

Can we only get the first dez mod lol. That’s the best mod bro. Let’s be honest😂! For real tho, I absolutely love the life that you have created thru hard work and dedication I’m a subscriber because I get a peak of the beautiful life that you’ve been able to cultivate. Keep working hard max, and never take your family for granted. I’m watching bro!!! Keep the great content coming!

[@Maxx.Powell]

Thanks for the encouragement man. That was much needed🙌

[@19993gt]

Maxx Powell your content is much needed in the KZbin community. From modding your taco,and the do it yourself work. Being a great example to your kids and wife. I’m sure they’re time where you don’t want to get up and keep grinding, but please do, because you give me, give us, the visual that we can do great things if we keep focused on what we love. Huge fan max, it give me belief that I can work my ass off to earn the family and lifestyle that I want. Never settle max! Love it dawg!!!

[@toobdogs4675]

Ya !....nice video !!! .....like that you spoke about less expensive lift ideas......our dogs get fleas too !!

[@HugDeeznueces]

tell me more about that soap bottle and soap you use to clean the taco. that is one of mine after my SnugTop and my Tepui RTT

[@Maxx.Powell]

Hey dude. It's the Amazon basics foam (~$15) cannon with Chem Guys snow Foam!👊

[@goombakiwi]

Best camera mod...set manual focus and/or widen aperture.

[@Maxx.Powell]

Yeah dude somthing was wrong with my camera on this shoot unfourtunetly but we didnt have the weather to redo it. Oh well

[@raymondblaine66]

You rock Maxx!

[@jonathanfox5748]

My buddy made a rack in his garage so he could quickly pull in and unlatch his tent from his rack and then he got a small rack for his trailer so he could not only take his tent on and off in like 2 minutes but could switch it from his trailer to his truck depending on what he needed for his trip. And if he didn’t want it at all he would just leave it hanging from the ceiling in his garage. I don’t know if there’s a company that does it (he built it himself). Always thought it was a cool idea though

[@HS24833]

How’s the reliability been with all the mods?

[@dreww2475]

His steering rack has failed a fair few times.

[@arturo762]

Those front CV axles suffer a bit too.

[@arteagamedia]

He could have just gotten the TRD Pro and avoid all his headaches, but i guess some like to tinker.

[@thepnwtest2124]

Max with the videos thanks man! Your a inspiration!

[@Maxx.Powell]

Thank you for watching👊 you guys make it all possible

[@arcanum3882]

I didn't know Henry Cavil owned a Tacoma

[@scottwillimack184]

Great info brother! Thank you 🙏

[@anthonymccaslin3325]

Do you have a manual trans or an auto? I got a 2019 OR m/t but I feel like I hit the dirt/rocks way too hard and I don’t want to rub the clutch. Any advice?? I normally ride out in Anza and Joshua tree area. Btw best mod are clips to hold a shovel. Gotten through some gnarly stuff in a stock truck with a shovel.

[@TJ-md2jl]

2:00 reminds me.... when you comin back to tahuya?? I’d love to see ya out there sometime

[@warsword2538]

Good information!

[@matttakahashi8283]

This guy has major karate hands.

[@Maxx.Powell]

Lol dude I didn't even notice until people started mentioning it!

[@Nick-lk2rv]

Did you do a video on mods that are your least favorite??? Did I miss it in the video list? Thanks for this video... I look forward to every one you put out! 👍

[@bf3forevergreene165]

1:36 what’s that orange thing he put under the tire?

[@Davsuh]

BF3 forever Greene Maxtrax

[@dark8893]

I love your truck , I came here after a Scotty video on best trucks too buy

[@Maxx.Powell]

Hey thanks man!

[@RevN3]

Canopy is my #1, Sliders #2

[@markmccall6278]

I would like to know who makes your front bumper please.

[@Maxx.Powell]

Hey man. That would be CBI off road fab

[@flench1901]

Just got mine . I want a front bumper but don't want to be cutting on my new truck .

[@kgbreviews35]

I'm not found on re gearing my 2020 tacoma. I've seen some people have bad luck when someone didn't do it right.

[@Maxx.Powell]

Yeah best to have the pros do the research so the timing is done properly

[@socalexpeditions]

Most of the +2 issues you've had relate to the brand you chose for Long Travel. I almost went with the same company, but last minute decided not to when people who ran their parts talked about all the issues they've had. Guaranteed if you made the switch to another brand *cough* Total Chaos *cough*, those issues you've had will go away.

[@MajinOkabe]

socalexpeditions TC isn’t without its issues, either, though. Anything you mod like that becomes massively more high maintenance and causes headaches.

[@socalexpeditions]

28xplode Significantly less issues. I rarely hear of someone having a problem with TC, meanwhile every person I know with Baja Kits has complained. Just my personal experience.

[@MajinOkabe]

The metal components are bullet proof but the smaller components can be a pain.

[@Josh-jq4xq]

NO!! No puck lifts!! Bilstein 5100s will give you some lift and are about the same cost. They will improve your ride not ruin it like pucks.

[@Maxx.Powell]

Yeah I agree Bilstein would be a better option but what I was trying to say Is that you can still have a fun truck with puck lift. My last truck came with a 2 inch puck lift and I never felt the ride was rough and I had a ton of fun with it

[@Kaiyo808]

Awesome rig! I’m looking to put a topper on my truck, what model Leer do you have?

[@thecrom777]

What system are you using to clean your rig in the opening?

[@Maxx.Powell]

Heyman. It's a Subaru Presure washer with an Amazon foam canon and Chemical guys snow foam

[@Darwindiggler]

U have come a long ways in just being yourself that I've seen..an it's funnier too watch now! Awesomeness Keep up the good work bud.

[@indygamertag829]

lift, bigger tires and new wheels then the gearing is next!

[@Munchiie]

Are you able to list the links for the products in the description ?

[@masked4794]

tires are the first mod anyone should do on any vehicule no matter the use of it from race track to offroading

[@exodusfivesixfivesix8050]

I love this truck. Debating on manual cs automatic

[@edwardbirtulescu5289]

Great video! After installing the lift/suspension do you still have the "taco lean"? If so, how were you able to address it? Thank you

[@abtimovesfast81]

Nice truck

[@Maxx.Powell]

Thank you! 🤙🍻

[@ericbuchta9765]

Cool truck 👍

[@earlenone5661]

What year is the truck? The 2020 has a camera in the grill, and the premium sound system is pretty good, not compatible to a full blown custom car show quality system but not bad.

[@laxhound13]

has the OEM audio+ system added any rattling from the plastics/materials in the cab?

[@Maxx.Powell]

Not for me but I have heard of that happening. That's more of an issue with instal than the actual system its self. If you dont get the pannels back together correctly then they will rattle

[@marshalljones4315]

Nice video!! I finally got my 2019.access cab today! Plan to start the overland build and finances allow. Driving my self crazy trying to decide between 3 inch lift W33s or 6 inch list w35s!!

[@grampa_ahah]

Tactical Survival 6" go for six

[@marshalljones4315]

@@grampa_ahah I have a hard time finding a 6 inch lift that's not a spacer lift is my problem

[@jamesl9972]

He looks like Jason Biggs from American Pie. Lol

[@joshedmonds8721]

Have you looked into Jumping Jack trailers. Could be a really good option for hauling a side by side.

[@Maxx.Powell]

Yah id love to try a jumping jack trailer out ! They look awesome

[@zumezoom9593]

i dunno whether i should install a steel bumper or aluminum. i love that high clearance style and don't mind cutting into my ride. should i install steel rock sliders and skid plates or go aluminum too? how much did your widebody flares and lift with tires cost you? but yeah, regearing is on my top priority before i add anything. look into patriot campers designs on designing a trailer to fit your roof top tent, sidebyside, and any other accessories to free up your taco. great videos. keep up the awesome content.

[@LouFayad]

Such a bad ass 🌮!!

[@maxxsroadtoironman4045]

Sick name bro

[@ChazMcMahon]

Would be nice to see a cost breakdown of all these mods in the description section.

[@JAmes-no4yk]

Do you have to completely Rebuild the transmission to replace the gears? (Newbie)

[@DaveChr]

Great vid man. You sure do work that truck. No one can call it a mall crawler. How many miles on it so far?

[@Blessedup69]

The hand movements

[@xpez9694]

what is the headache of long travel suspension? they need more maintenance more often?

[@Maxx.Powell]

Yeah that plus components fail more frequently and they make a lot of noise

[@MrFunktastical]

I have a 2020 Tacoma trd off road. I do not like the gearing either. I’m not a person that goes off road often if at all but I would appreciate a recommendation for an upgrade gear set up for a non off roading set up.

[@ScreamingSkullSaloon]

3:28 Baja Champion! Just because it says it on the tires doesn't make it so. I still think Maxx needs to make a separate channel titled, "Maxx Breaks it". No seriously though love your channel!

[@bf3forevergreene165]

So would I be able to go 20-30 in a train yard with a bunch of potholes? Some 1-2 inches deep? Would that damage the axle or anything?

[@ibetrollintheybehatin6857]

Did you change the gears and leave the diffs open?
