I can’t choose. All these trucks are amazing. That 2nd gen is insane, but I’d never be able to afford to build that. I thought Grants backwoods setup with the ARE shell was interesting, wish we coulda seen his prototype tent. Mikes cascadia4x4 solar panel was awesome, didn’t know that was an option for solar, very cool. Nice truck, mike can provide lighting for entire convoy with that many lights lol. I bought a brand new 2nd gen a decade ago intending on kitting it out for overland, and so far I’ve got an ARE shell…and nothing else HAHA, truck might be dead before I’m even close to finished. Might have to wait til I’m in a 3rd gen and try again..
The last build was well fitted. I choose an AT Overland Atlas as it's build quality is unmatched and there aerodynamic, the profile is trail friendly as well.
speaking about your headlights you forgot about second gens. the reason why i say that is because the 3rd, gen lights are WAY better looking the second gen's. i have a 2014 with 46 K mi. on it. i bought it from interprise car sales in reno nv back in 2015. it still smelled new they delivered it from sacramento ca. it had 5k nobody rents truck's in ca thank god lol
@@fudgeismedicine still is funny cause imagine that someone is trying to buy that tent but they don’t know what 2-1/2 means so they r like ok we getting this tent but someone is going to sleep with their a$$ hanging outside the tent 🤣
Hands down Tacoma number 3 with the backwoods full bull bar front bumper is the best looking and only 80lbs im about to purchase this. Thanks for sharing
I have a ln106 hilux , homebuilt bar work , rusted to the shit , no 4 gear and split rims with dunlop cheese cutters . Basically the exact same as these.
Those are the alpha rex TRD pro style headlights, they are currently sold out but you can find them on out website here: tacomabeast.com/products/16-20-toyota-tacoma-trd-pro-style-series-led-projector-headlights?_pos=1&_sid=e6103a861&_ss=r&variant=31511679139942
Man what I would give to upgrade my 2nd gen. I'm a first time taco owner and have been researching upgrade and trying to teach myself what all the part and what they do and what not. I was never a truck guy or car guy until I got my taco. Man I wish I had their knowledge.
We have a team of experts that can help you answer any question you got bro! Feel free to pick at their heads any time! You can contact them at support@tacomabeast.com 🙌
I'd love to have some baseline questions asked everytime you look at a Tacoma, and the first one that comes to mind is: "What's your current payload?" because all of these look to be over payload capacity.
Thank's Mateo! for walking true all the taco. Now I understand why? My husband in love in to taco. He just starting watching most of all your u-tube. Start putting Decker and front grill. I have a question What is your advice regarding changing wheel size and lift shock for 2021 taco? thanks and God bless.
Hi evangeline! It depends on what you’ll be using the taco for, if you want an in depth explanation feel free to reach out to our support team at support@tacomabeast.com they’ll be happy to provide you different wheel/suspension set ups to fit your needs 🙌
Maybe? CBI might make them specifically for the ranger, shoot us an email at support@tacomabeast.com we’ll see if we can place a custom order for you 🙌
Finally saved up the cash for a bilstein 5100 lift and 285/75r16 coopers with method wheels for my 3rd gen and I couldn't be happier!!! Can't wait to someday go to overland expo!!!! Hey off topic, but I have the stock running boards on my 3rd gen trd offroad (not the desert ones but the big flat running boards) that are bolted on. I get it won't perform nearly like a good slider, but will they protect at all from rocks? Like can I go hit a mild trail with those or are they likely to crumple at the slightest run in with a rock on the side? Thanks!
Mateo ............ its a very well done piece/interview on your part ....... very easy to watch and engage in ......... great job keeping the video interesting !!!!! ........ why did your Bro Mike jump ship and go to a 3/4 ton Ford ??? ............ come bang with a 1999 Ford Ranger that is all locked up front and rear ??? .........We can out cook a taco pilot (Mexican food) and out climb a Taco ............... I feed my ranger real mexican tacos ........... not American tacos .......... the Taco is nothing more than ground corn from the dirt ......... and ground corn it will return to in the dirt if you dare bang with a Ranger ........ ........... El Senior afirma, el dice, que es verdad

Which one of these Tacomas would you take home?
That 2nd gen!!!

Easy answer, that 2nd Gen all the way.
they are all nice ...... but come on ............... the last Taco with the Pro Rock 60's is truly off the rails ????
I think that 2nd gen would work for me
Best comment in this video is, "I still use the truck for truck stuff."
🤣 Mike is the man! Lives in Colorado,, in the mountains 🤣👍🏽
Thank you Mateo and crew for the walk around, I really appreciate being picked as number 1!!! Was a real privilege.
It was a pleasure interviewing you bro! 🙌
Lol is this legit your truck? How do you have such a bitchin' truck and no videos of it on your youtube page!!!!
@@Jack-fd8cx Yes my truck, probably because I havent loaded a video on youtube in 11 years lol
@@sfsmedic haha for sure, well it was super cool seeing the walk through definitely the coolest taco yet!
Brett it is awesome to see the break down vid of the whole build with all the details.
Awesome builds love seeing how different they are from one another. I’m also very happy to see a second gen in the top 5 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Appreciate you taking the time to show off my rig Mateo! Cheers brotha 🍻
🙌
What part of Arkansas do you normally offroad on?
@@Thorzaan Ozark National Forest! Basically central Arkansas.
@@ArkansasOffroad thats awesome! I live in Central Arkansas!
lol my girl caught me and shut it down. 🤣🤣 she saw me watching this and then open up amazon and was like" NO!" hahahaha
She’s right! You shouldn’t be opening up Amazon when you got all the links in the description ;)
Saw the first couple Tacos and thought to my self Grant’s gotta be there… his rig is so underrated.
Those builds were awesome, Thank you for the walk arounds Mateo!
🙌
Skinny guys???????
I need a build like this for my K5 Blazer
This just proves that 2nd Gen Tacoma’s reign supreme.
😂
Vans are in the rear view! Too cumbersome! Trucks! Yeah baby!
😂
Good advice. Build it one step at a time based on your needs.
The last build was well fitted. I choose an AT Overland Atlas as it's build quality is unmatched and there aerodynamic, the profile is trail friendly as well.
🙌
The colors on the las truck are great!
I love you Hans - David
Saved the best for last.
Great episode!

We got a lot of second gen headlights on our website that look great 🤙
Brett is amazing to listen to going through the build
Love the OG Toyota stripes.
Still have my 85 live axle
Ice cream must be code for beer 🍺
Welcome to the team, password granted 😂
5:15 Dometic hasnt even been making that design for 4 years. lol
😂
Good VIDEOS MAN
Big fan from INDIA 🇮🇳👍
I see a lot of overloading mods , but no possible fuel expansion , just spare fuel carriers
Spare fuel is usually easier than fuel expansion 🤷♂️
Brads truck by far out shined!
The first guy talking about the tent ⛺️
How many parole can sleep in it? 2 and a half 😄 the fk?? 😂
Usually that means 2 and a kid
@@fudgeismedicine still is funny cause imagine that someone is trying to buy that tent but they don’t know what 2-1/2 means so they r like ok we getting this tent but someone is going to sleep with their a$$ hanging outside the tent 🤣

Love the SAS 2nd Gen.
Thank you
Those leaf springs are already overloaded.
What a great video. Just starting my 2019 Taco build and videos like this really helps.
Glad we were able to help bro! That’s what we do it all for 🙌
I just started with my 2018! Got the lift and tires finally! Good luck with your's, hope to run in to each other on trails in the future lol
What great content always awesome to hear these guys give great advice just taking it slow and finding what works for each person.
🙌
Hands down Tacoma number 3 with the backwoods full bull bar front bumper is the best looking and only 80lbs im about to purchase this. Thanks for sharing
Why not plug the social media for these awesome builds so we can follow along?
I have a ln106 hilux , homebuilt bar work , rusted to the shit , no 4 gear and split rims with dunlop cheese cutters .
Basically the exact same as these.
Same truck different name imo 😂🙌
That 2nd gen is a beast
Tacoma beast, LLOD, bustabeatgeorge all like the similar color look on there trucks.
It looks cleaner IMO 🤷♂️
In Denver and R4T Taco is not in top 5?!?!?! Smells like retailer drama haha.
Furrels his Tacoma is sick
The beast set up is with solid axle Tacoma, If I have a big budget I’m know where I’m going (WFO Concepts) specialist in solid axle.
Big fans Tacoma❤️❤️
that second gen is one badass rig 😮
Right?
Those Tacos are beautiful but YOU TACOMA is the best Tacomabeast
Been waiting for your Overland Expo videos! Great work, excited to see more 😎💯
🙌🙌
LLOD was great
Hmm. Though they look awesome, isn't all that weight a lot of stress on that v6. It's like you're towing something all the time.
You’d be surprised at how light some of the racks and campers can be 🙌
Its all about gearing, if you're geared properly the motor isn't doing work much different than stock really.
You look like Mac Miller… and it’s amazing
😂😂 my friends tell me that all the time
Amazing review.
What brand etc headlights are they talking about at 13:35, I didnt quite catch it.

Great Video Bro! The 2nd Gen was awsome , could hang out and BS with Brad all day!
Hell yeah!
What’s the solar system in tacoma 2
Thank u 🙏
MIKE!!! “Hope you’ve been well “
Great choice on #1. So bad ass!
WOW!! Beautiful..
Great truck reviews and breakdown. 👍🏼
Thanks! 👍
Would like to know more about Mike's Ham Radio Antenna. Link Please.
That’s the Yaesu FTM-400 we don’t offer that on our website unfortunately so we can’t link it, but I’m sure you can find it easily 🙌
@@tacomabeast That I understood. I was asking about the antenna.
Would you like to test SUV Doorstep ?

22RE motors are bulletproof
I'LL take the 2nd Gen as well. How much did it cost you for the classic graphic design with installation?
That’s a better question for the owner, you can find his social media in the description 🤙
Please make vinyl like that 2nd gen
Can I used those CBI rock sliders on a RANGER TREMOR?
Maybe? CBI might make them specifically for the ranger, shoot us an email at support@tacomabeast.com we’ll see if we can place a custom order for you 🙌
Do you know how we can learn more info about Taco #1?
You can find him on Instagram @sfsmedic 🙌
@@tacomabeast Got it! Thank you
Excellent coverage, nice work!
"Yeah man..."
Sweet; Skinny Guy, Ark, LLOD, the Habitat AT is sick, now I just wanted to know if Mike towed out the Taco with the Tremor
I think he drove it there 😂
Sick video man! Can’t wait to see what video you filmed my truck for
👀
Damnnnn.. What another Rad Video guys!!! Love it!!
Anyone know where Mike from LLOD got his front grille? I haven't seen those around.
That’s incredible!
What snorkel is that on the second gen?
Airflow
But can you put a 270 degree awning on it ?
What's the make of the 3rd Taco (the beige one) rear bumper? I love that swing-out tire carrier.
That’s from backwoods adventure mods, the link is in the bio!
Nice taco mateo
Great video tacoma beast crew! What’s the snorkel brand on the second gen? Thank you!
That looks to be an airflow snorkel 🙌
Hey Mateo Mike (LLOD) needs some tail light hook up. He busted his passenger one a while ago and is having trouble finding something he likes.
He can always hit us up bro! 🙌
Can a tacoma,really go uphill with this much weight? Tezt drove one. Cant get out of its own way! Bought a colorado zr2😄
It definitely can 😂 but if it ain’t for you it ain’t for you 🤷♂️
Hi I love the vids and tocomas
Finally saved up the cash for a bilstein 5100 lift and 285/75r16 coopers with method wheels for my 3rd gen and I couldn't be happier!!! Can't wait to someday go to overland expo!!!!

I mean they’ll be better than nothing but be prepared for them to cave in if you’re hitting a hard rock y’know, just be careful above all else 🙌
Looking at buying my first Tacoma. What's the majority of people driving out there, manual or automatic?
It’s a pretty even split, honestly it’s just preference 🤷♂️
Is that really a second gen? figured it'd be like a 3rd or 4th gen
Nope, Tacoma’s have only gone as far as the third gen🤷♂️
@@tacomabeast Word just redesigned every few years to make you feel like you getting something better
What gear ratio is he running?
Last guys IG for his truck?
Can sleep two and a half people. Where is the other half sleep?
