TacticalTanTacoma build (2016)

[TacticalTanTacoma]

hey guys, I'm new here. James ( taco cruiser) told me to join (I'm on TW as bflofoxrider).
Anyways, I picked my 2016 trd off-road up the first week of October and quickly threw a few quick and easy mods on. Did a custom satoshi grille with mesh and letters from custom car grills, 50" curved lughtbar on the roof with relentless fab mounts, and 'ditch' or hood pods with mounts from cbi off-road. My truck is currently undergoing cosmetic surgery at the fabrication shop and I'll post those pics and info when I pick it up later this week. Bear with me on pictures, I'll upload them as my stupid iPhone allows. Also, I'm in Colorado if anyone local wants to hit some trails on the weekends.
I've also changed my Instagram to be for my truck so its easier to follow the build and progress. If anyone is interested, my Instagram name is TacticalTanTacoma

Here's the day after I bought it.

First thing I did was paint match the fenders (ignore the other mods pictured)

The next pictures are throughout the minor mods I Did myself. 50" lightbar with relentless fab roof mounts, Light pods on the hood with CBI Offroad Fab ditch light brackets. also did a satoshi grille with mesh and letters from Matt At Customcargrills. Also traded hoods with someone who had a sport.

Sorry for the horrible formatting of the pics. Im not great at computer stuff. My truck is currently with Corey at Insain Fab in THornton, CO for some custom work. here's a teaser, if theres enough interest maybe ill dig up some more teasers to post until I pick it up later this week.

So a light bar, paint or vinyl on Tacoma in the grill and a winch bumper with winch so far?

Light bar, light pods, and grille are the only "mods" so far. I'm impressed at how quickly others do their builds, mine will be slower, but worth it. When my truck is back I'll post the other mods but one of them will be front bumper.

Looks good, i really like the color of that truck. It almost makes me wish i would have waited to get mine, so i could have gotten one of those. Im happy with mine though, no regrets on getting it. Your truck looks good man, but if it were mine, i believe i would have left the flares black, kind of breaks up the color scheme a little bit.

 

[oh!yea]

I like it

You should do the flag theme on the back and side Tacoma logos..

I like paint matched flares and two-toned flares, but non-painted flares look a bit tacky.

I just paint the lettering same color as my Tacoma quick sand.

If you paint the flares and do off-road they get scratch easy.. Happen to me and sucks is why I let them black

I'm not normally a huge fan of the "TOYOTA" custom grills, but with that color match tan, yours looks great I admit.
I noticed its an Off-road model with the hood scoop...did you put a Sport hood on your Off-road? What did you end up paying for that if you don't mind me asking?

Bestantonio was lost to a 4Runner on march 9th. He said goodbye to his Tacoma after many battles where waged. To many issues and not enough fixes. He will be missed.
