Sometimes the best builds are the ones that focus on doing everything well. This clean 3rd Gen Tacoma combines proven suspension, lighting, and wheel and tire upgrades to create a truck that is equally comfortable on the highway and the trail.
To improve ride quality and off-road performance, this Tacoma has been equipped with an Elka suspension system paired with SPC Upper Control Arms. The combination provides improved handling, increased suspension performance, and the adjustability needed to dial in alignment after lifting the vehicle.
When the sun goes down, visibility is handled by a set of Baja Designs Squadron Sport fog lights. Offering a significant improvement over the factory fog lights, the Squadron Sports provide better light output and improved visibility in challenging driving conditions.
Giving the truck its aggressive stance is a set of Stealth Custom Series BR6 wheels wrapped in Yokohama Geolandar G003 Mud Terrain tires. The combination not only looks the part but delivers exceptional traction and durability whether you're tackling muddy trails, rocky terrain, or daily driving duties.
To properly clear the 35-inch tires, this Tacoma underwent our Stage 3 Cab Mount Chop. This modification allows for increased tire clearance while maintaining functionality and ensuring the tires can fully cycle through the suspension travel without interference.
The result is a simple, functional Tacoma build that checks all the right boxes. Improved suspension, better lighting, aggressive styling, and trail-ready capability make this truck a perfect example of a well-rounded adventure rig.
