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

my 2024 Toyota Tacoma TI off-road has gone through phase one of its transformation with Westcott designs and I want to show you guys the full tour and everything that they did to transform this truck from this to this let's go so let me know what you guys think about the Tacoma down in the comments section but one of the first things you'll notice is that this truck is lifted up a little bit higher than when I had dropped it off to westcot designs of course they put their pre-ol lift kit on this truck we got about 2 and 1/2 in up front and about 3/4 of an inch in the back but all we did was their pre-ol puck right at the bottom of the coil of the suspension up front and then in the back we did the spacer right on top of the coil to complement the westcot pre-color kit guys we also swapped out the wheels and tires we have a little bit bigger of a tire and we got a lot better looking of wheels so relations race wheels sent out their rs2 hybrid so these are mono Forge Wheels we went with bronze because you guys really love bronze and it complement the underground color so well but these are their mono forged wheels so these are under 20 lb I try to keep everything on this truck as lightweight as possible and that carries through to the tires that are wrapped around these wheels they're the Nitto Ridge Grapplers 28575 R17 as a SE load rating so only a six ply tire nothing crazy with it we're at about 33.8 Ines so not quite a 34 but not quite as small as a 33 and it's also 11 and A4 Ines or so wide so it's not insanely aggressive of a tire the truck handles it very well I know my gas mileage is slowly starting to go down but it looks really good and I went with the hybrid setup as well because it's a black ring to kind of offset the matte bronze a little bit but also it's to really protect these wheels because mono Forge Wheels they are not cheap and I wanted to keep these things looking really good and I plan on really using this truck off-road we are at a plus 12 offset and it is an 8 in wheel so it's a 17 by 8 in wheel and this is the little bit of poke that we have honestly it's really good I prefer just a little bit of poke but it's not bad at all to be too much poke and it's not too little to be tucked up in to the fender well at all so if I get kind of like straight on it it's almost like the perfect amount of poke speaking of using this truck off-road Rock sliders guys so we went with the 0 degree Rock slider I like it because I'm able to use it as a step to get up onto the roof rack also to get up into the vehicle but I've also really used these sliders already take a look at this video that Mark brener recorded for me okay Johnny boy got a little high centered here I think the move is to go forward yeah yeah just go go straight using the rock sliders yes you are oh jeez there it is there it is yeah buddy we're free baby no problem so definitely put the rock sliders to the test but it's not just that they work they also look really good so the attention to detail that westcot designs does you see this little Notch right here how it follows right there with the back of the Tacoma also up here with the rock slider as well how it follows that little Notch right there on the Tacoma that little bit of detail takes westcot designs employees an additional hour per set of Sliders to do which is absolutely wild that they're putting the manh hours into do that just to match the Contour of the truck that is just the next level of attention to detail that Jeff wescot puts into these vehicles instead of just manufacturing more sliders setting them out the door and making a profit right it's that little bit of detail that I love and the fact that it takes 45 minutes to an extra hour per sliders with everything that they have to do with it from shaving it down clamping it in welding it together then sanding it down getting it all nice and good that's just wild so you guys can see here too it just flows perfectly so again they weld all this cap on they sand it down make it look all pretty before sand blasting it priming it and then putting it into the oven for the powder coat and this is more their satin finish so this is a shinier finish let me know what you guys think about that we did do the top plates up top as well and then back here we have westcot designs their logo with a new bottle cap and this is like a brushed aluminum underneath right now but Jeff will color match this to your specific vehicle as we move up top we have the westcot designs roof rack up here it has been raining the last couple days as you guys can see right behind us but man look behind us too looking at underground with the clouds like oh my gosh but we have westcot designs new roof rack for the Tacoma and we have a rigid adapt light bar up here what this light bar is it's like a GPS based or speed sensor based light bar so as I go faster off-road since I am out in the West Coast with this truck it'll shine further down the road as I slow down the beam pattern and everything will widen out to give me more of a view but I believe there are 16 lights up here they fit in this wind reflector perfectly it does obviously have some wind noise because these do sit up a little bit higher than normal however it just looks solid up here and I like kind of the dark black look that it has as well it just flows with the truck perfectly and I can't wait to use these while off-road at night and here's just a closer look and then we have our crossbars and everything up top too and this is also a satin finish and then just the attention to detail again with westcot designs I'm not sure if Jeff is going to change this during phase two of the truck because he says he has some more ideas but you could see our spoiler goes off like this of the back this follows perfectly as well says westcot designs of course signature bottle opener and then a little Easter egg right here we have a Tacoma climbing this right here with the bed rack and a rooftop tent on it and speaking of that where's the bed rack well we did not have time to do that but they are getting my truck again in about another week or so I'm going to California to off-road this with guys and stuff and then I will be dropping it back off at westcot design so they can develop their rear bed rack for this truck they're going to showcase for mine and they're going to have multiple options but we're going to do a full height bed rack and then there will be a rooftop tent up there for westcot designs to show everyone the last item and you guys may remember it from my last Tacoma but we have the tire carrier so I brought this back to westcot designs they freshened it up a little bit because it did have just a little bit of surface rust from being in Florida but we have the fifth relations race wheel right here on the back of the Tacoma so as I mentioned this is just phase one phase two is coming in maybe like three or so weeks I'll document it again here on the channel but I'm going to California going to come back to Arizona drop the truck off for Jeff wescot so they can do more R&D stuff stuff that they didn't have the chance to do with other Tacomas that they've had in their shop to develop parts for this truck that they will offer to you guys in the near future I already mentioned the bed rack there will be some other things too added to this truck and then Jeff asked me if I'm keeping my bronze wheels and I said yeah why and he says I have some creative designs that he wants to tie into the truck to match the bronze on certain areas of the truck I have no idea what the heck he's going to do but the dude can do SEMA build uh Seas they look absolutely amazing his design work his fabrication work his whole team absolutely incredible uh so I can't wait to see what they have for this truck in the next couple of weeks that's it guys I appreciate you all watching and I'll catch you in the next one all right see you later
