The Perfect Toyota Tacoma Daily Setup

in today's video I'm going to be showing you what in my opinion is the perfect daily Tacoma and how I would have it before it turns into the ultimate Overland Beast before we take a look at why this is the perfect daily let's take a look at everything we have done up until now we purchased this truck back in 2021 and up until now we haven't put any miles into it originally it was intended for us to build our second company truck but it wasn't until we started talking about our 10-year anniversary celebration that we decided hey we should give it away to one lucky winner yes we're giving this truck away along with all the mods so make sure to check out the link in the description below and get yourself entered to win I don't think we'll be giving away more Tacomas in the near future so make sure to take advantage of this awesome opportunity when building the perfect daily I was thinking of three things performance Aesthetics and interior luxuries I also wanted this Tacoma to be built with the intent of turning it into the ultimate Overland beast but more on that in a bit now let's go over why for me this is the perfect daily it's got the Fox 2 2.5 Factory race series coilovers with adjustable reservoirs turkey ball joint upper control arms to make it ride like a Cadillac smooth on the street and it'll defend itself out on the trails this suspension gives me an awesome ride on my daily commute and will allow me to hit the trails hard on the weekend we also added one of the most important pieces for protection and that's the C4 fabrication bolt-on Rock sliders I can hit the trails with confidence knowing that I'm not going to destroy my side panels and use them as steps for tires I decided to go with 35 inch tires to be able to hit a little bit more advanced trails and because they look awesome when it comes to the tire size I chose I know some of you might argue is not the best tire for your perfect daily because your miles per gallon are going to drop significantly and that is something that I have taken into account and I'm okay with for me it's about smiles per gallon for those of you that don't want to go that big 35 inch tires might not be the way to go for you what what do you want to use your truck for the most how do you want to enjoy it and get the most out of it this Tacoma can take you to the end of the world and back and still be your daily for Wheels I decided to go a bit aggressive on the offset to give it a nice stance make those tires pop out these are the Falcon T8 Seekers 17 inches with negative 35 offset and I absolutely love how they look make sure you take your time choosing the wheels for your vehicle knowing the exact offset Dimension and back spacing is important for how the truck is going to look and perform as I mentioned before looks is something that was also important to me that's when tail lights mirror lights The Grille and bumper caps all work together to make the truck look like this for the headlights it was both a cosmetic upgrade as well as a functional upgrade we decided to go with the alpha x headlights because of its innovative design quad projector light sequencing feature and impressive light output compared to its competitors the auditory experience of my daily was massively important some of you like a nice quiet ride but for me I wanted to feel the Roar of this truck and because of that we installed the k n series 77 cold air intake along with the AFE exhaust system and I truly enjoy the sound of this truck as I'm cruising down the road speaking of sound let's dive into the interior of this Tacoma to talk about the OEM Audio Plus sound system how can you have the best daily without having a killer sound system you can't hear how good it sounds through this video but if you ever catch me at an event I would be more than happy to give you a demo and jam out with you one thing I love about the OEM Audio Plus kit is that it pairs so nicely with the Stinger height and infotainment system which gives me the ability to create a custom sound setting for different genres of music it also comes with apple carplay and the ability to add front and side view cameras that I can access through the high 10 as well I then went ahead and added another screen to our interior which acts as a rear view mirror replacement monitor that has a built-in dash cam and a backup camera kit but I did not want to stop there I wanted to add a few more luxurious touches to the interior so I upgraded to our interior LED kit for a brighter cabin and installed footwell lights for added Ambience to put the cherry on top for the interior I decided to black out all the nasty chrome trimmings that come from Factory around the AC vents climate controls door handles gear shift knob cup holders start button and four wheel drive selector I did leave two major upgrades for the end of this video and that is leaf springs and gears these are two mods that require lots of future planning when building your truck since we're going to be turning this truck into an ultimate Overland Tacoma we currently have the old man emu heavy duty leaf springs but I have to be honest with you guys the way it currently sits it's extremely stiff and it makes sense there's no weight back here the second we add the bumper in the back bed rack tent it's all going to make sense with the heavy duty leaf springs if we would have left the truck in its current form and not added any more weight and we definitely would have had to go with a much lighter leaf spring once we add the high clearance rear bumper bed rack and tent it's going to feel perfect and the heavy duty leaf springs are all going to make sense so make sure you know where you're planning to take your build so that you don't spend twice on leaf springs as for Gears the truck currently doesn't have any gears installed and that's mostly due to timing on our side and US wanting to do a soul video just explaining gearing on this truck and we haven't gotten to it yet but rest assured this truck is going to be given to the winner with 529 gears which we should have installed the second we upgraded to 35 inch tires when gearing your truck try to know what is the biggest tire size you plan to go with in the future so you can gear your truck properly from the start so what's next well we still have over ten thousand dollars worth of products that need to be installed on Project gray white so make sure to stay tuned for that December 31st will be your last chance to get enter for a chance to win this truck plus 15 000 cash make sure to click the link in the description below and get yourself entered to win if you guys enjoyed this video make sure to smash that like button if you haven't already
