I love that all the additions are smart and functional. Too many trucks out there with ridiculous mods that are either overkill or actually make the truck worse. It's been fun to follow the journey. I've bought several of your suggestions along the way. Keep up the great work! (If you're looking for a fog light upgrade check out the Diode Dynamics 👍)
You mentioned dogs...not at all a paid promotion. The Ruff Liners Dog Back Seat and Door Cover by a US small business so far has such a good dog hammock for the back seats. The multiple connection points make it really form fitting, but also easy to fold down if you have passengers that will ride in the back seats. It's machine washable, super lightweight, durable, and not slippery for dogs. Awesome customer service too. I don't really like dogs hammocks, but definitely recommend this one. P.S. Love your videos! Please keep posting stuff! :)
People like you are why I spent an hour de-chroming my Tacoma when I got it. I hope you're happy. Also I have the seat jackers with the powered seats and it 100% helps as no matter how much I tried adjusting them I still had lower back pain after driving for a while and the seat jackers completely eliminated that.
Thanks for the vids, Chloe! I just bought this same truck down to the paint color with 26,000 miles. I'm eagerly watching what you've done with yours and actively developing a plan for my own truck. You give clear and helpful instructions and the fact that you're done all this work yourself is truly impressive. Keep up the good work and God bless!
I love the truck , but I would like to see a video of the truck off roading, getting in creeks,climbing hills , driving on 4wheel drive ,etc. I still remember my 1990 r22 she was with me 10 yrs 😂😂
I feel like I could listen to her talk about anything all day long lol. Such a beautiful speaking voice. Chloe you should be a narrator or voice actress lol. Also from your videos I can tell you have a HIGH attention to detail. Your videos inspire me to modify my 2020 LT Chevy Trail Boss! Its already factory built for light off roading.
Got me a "new" 2007 Tacoma TRD Offroad. These are just the kind of mods I'm interested in. Mainly an offroad camping truck. I don't have the money for crazy stuff and want a reliable truck to get me home. Great channel.
just got my lift and tires on my 2013...so happy with the results. Went with 32's rather than going up to 33's. So far, I have my hybrid front bumper, lift tires...fog lights winch...need a roof rack and a Deck'd system to complete the build.
Excellent video Chloe. You've built possibly the perfect Daily Driver/Off Road Beast possible. The trucks don't need much more to be perfect for this sort of use.
Great job! I'm glad that you love your Tacoma. I can't wait to purchase a Tacoma before the generation changes! Thank you for sharing your upgrades!!!!!!!
Hey Chloe. Just got my 23 sport MT and love it. Done a few little mods but watching video will likely cost me a bunch of money. 😂😂. Keep up the great videos !
I have a 2012 tacoma I got used which is bone stock. I've always wanted to get the 3rd generation tacoma but held off due to saving for a house and paying off student loans. Now im ready to buy a new truck. Going to wait for the new model hybrid but i cant wait to upgrade it. This video gets me excited to do that. Thanks.
1:11 Hi Chloe, just curious if you are a member of any Tacoma owners groups, really enjoy your videos, they are very informative with lots of great ideas !
I’ve heard that about light bars on roof racks, although with how effective they are on backcountry roads and stuff, I’m sure for that’s only a small price to pay depending on the person/how they use their truck. Have you considered mounting it behind the grille? I don’t really have any regrets and I’m happy with how everything has held up/performs, although I talked about some minor issues with my truck in my previous video that could’ve been because of my modifications.
They make airflow diverters that attach to the light bars to alter the air flow coming off the cooling fins and reduce the whistle. It will not be eliminated, but roof racks round lights, antennas, anything that sticks up in the wind will cause noise. The problem with the lights is that the more you do to reduce the noise, the more the cooling capability is also reduced. Amazon has some of those wind diverters for light bars for $25. They might be worth experimenting with. Personally I am putting a contractors rack on my truck with a 50" light bar on the front bar of the rack, plus my radio antennas... I figure my best bet for the wind noise is to put big noisy mud tires on to over power the whistle. :D
Great and informative channel. I just got a 2011 Tacoma extended cab, 4.0 V6. Overall good shape, frame is all good as well. First project is new headlights.
I haven't seen a young lady with this much knowledge and mechanical ability, since the late Jesse Combs. Keep up the great videos, and hope you get your own tv show someday!
I would recommend watching Project Farm's video on air filter comparisons. That K&N filter is letting a LOT of dirt through. I'd rather go with a little less, but cleaner air.
Congratulations Chloe! It’s been fun and educational following along. Keep up the good work and may you have another wonderful 4 years or more with your Tacoma. I’m in for the long haul with my 2020 Tacoma too.
Nice job remind s me of my younger days when I got paid and went right back to the truck shop for something new .my truck/bronco was silver also easy to keep clean. I like your channel and your truck too
Not gonna lie, my favorite thing about it is that there aren't a million things attached to it like most Toyota owners do. All the jerry cans and ladders and maxtrax and pod lights and shovels and axes and tents.... Like they're going on a month long excursion every other day.
About the floor mats, I noticed on my new Taco I drag my foot across the edge of the mat as I get in the drivers seat, that may or may not contribute to the mat issue you observed. I replaced the stock mats with Husky liners as soon as I got the truck but the fit is virtually the same.
Incredibly well done on everything. I like all the improvements/mods while keeping it look oem. The silver paint and chrome trim with some black looks so nice. At first I thought you got a new truck since I haven't seen your videos for awhile. Great job!
Incredible journey from where it started to where it’s it is at now. Looking forward to seeing what else changes in this build… Ps. If you end up getting the new Baja lights I’ll buy those old ones of if you incase anybody hasn’t asked 😂
You've done such a great job with your 🌮 Chloe 👍. I particularly like the headlight upgrade. That really makes the truck look good. And yes I like how you didn't go overboard with the mods. And of course the truck looks great with Cody 🐶 sticking his head out of the window 😀. ♥️🌮🐕🐾
Does your truck wag its tailgate and jump up and down when you grab your keys, like a dog would when you grab the leash? 😂 Keep the great videos coming!
Love the video. Such a great video. I got a question. Are you planning on doing any more upgrades to this build, or is this the final built? Are you going to add stuff like a roof rack? Or ditch lights, just wondering. The truck looks great as it is, though..😊
Just curious if you want to share the dollar amount of mods you have added?? I bought my '22 last July and I already have over $6000 in mods (a lot of those ideas were from your videos)!! Never ends :/
Chloe great videos. The 4Runner TRD wheels have a 4mm offset and your 2019 Taco TRD OR wheel should have a 25mm offset, The greater the offset the closer your wheel is to the hub, so you have a wider stance! Didn’t hear if you mentioned the OTT tune. How do you like it?
I’m planning on doing an update video after 6 months/ after around 5,000 miles. But so far, so good! I drove a non-tuned Tacoma the other day and could notice the difference in throttle response and shifting.
Hi! I’m planning on making a comprehensive wiring video (ie, how to wire a switch to an accessory using a relay) and showing this box in more detail soon. Stay tuned!
I see a lot of people build up these overland rigs and then complain about how they only get 10mpg lol I recently bought a 2016 Tacoma and it’s great. It’s been fun upgrading it too
Hi Chloe 🙋♂️ When lifted your truck, did you have to replace the needle bearing on the drivers side? I lifted my truck 0.8" in the front with Bilstein 5100's and now I have a mild vibration between 20-40mph. Thanks!
I have the arb compressor installed under the passenger seat using the desert Industries kit. My question is I just installed an ARB locker in the front of my Tacoma and need to wire in a switch on the dash for the locker. Do I or can I use the same harness and just ad wire to reach. Just trying to get a second opinion
Chloe is so refreshing - genuine and honest. Love her videos.
Some of the social media car personalities could learn a lot from her.
I love that all the additions are smart and functional. Too many trucks out there with ridiculous mods that are either overkill or actually make the truck worse. It's been fun to follow the journey. I've bought several of your suggestions along the way. Keep up the great work!

I’m buying the 6 speed manual transmission 2023 Tacoma in July ... Thanks for your informative videos 🤙 .

I went from an f250 to a 2021 TRDOR and i has been the only truck I look back to. Love my Taco

Congrats on your new Tacoma!
I love the truck , but I would like to see a video of the truck off roading, getting in creeks,climbing hills , driving on 4wheel drive ,etc. I still remember my 1990 r22 she was with me 10 yrs 😂😂
Don't think about the haters because it's your truck and you can do what ever you want .
I feel like I could listen to her talk about anything all day long lol. Such a beautiful speaking voice. Chloe you should be a narrator or voice actress lol. Also from your videos I can tell you have a HIGH attention to detail. Your videos inspire me to modify my 2020 LT Chevy Trail Boss! Its already factory built for light off roading.
2:14 Exactly. Once you start changing too much, new weak points will make themselves apparent in bad ways.
Look into it but I believe Baja designs is doing a free upgrade to the new SAE lights. Worth checking it out!

I like the build but what I really like about your videos is I get to see my home town of San Diego so keep up the good videos
Great job! I'm glad that you love your Tacoma. I can't wait to purchase a Tacoma before the generation changes! Thank you for sharing your upgrades!!!!!!!
Hey Chloe. Just got my 23 sport MT and love it. Done a few little mods but watching video will likely cost me a bunch of money. 😂😂. Keep up the great videos !
Great truck! Perfect combo of convenience/comfort for daily driving and improved capability and protection for those off-road adventures!
I have a 2012 tacoma I got used which is bone stock. I've always wanted to get the 3rd generation tacoma but held off due to saving for a house and paying off student loans. Now im ready to buy a new truck. Going to wait for the new model hybrid but i cant wait to upgrade it. This video gets me excited to do that. Thanks.
It’s amazing that we get to grow old with our tacomas!
All of that hard work has paid off! One sweet ride that will continue to be enjoyed and last for years!
1:11 Hi Chloe, just curious if you are a member of any Tacoma owners groups, really enjoy your videos, they are very informative with lots of great ideas !
Any regrets? I regret putting a light bar on the front of my windshield. It makes an annoying sound at highway speeds. I am glad you didn’t

Nice I had a White 2021 Tacoma SR5 2 wheel drive, short bed , BUT TODAY I bought a 2023 4x4 TRD Off Road , With a 6 foot bed Barcelona Red
Great and informative channel. I just got a 2011 Tacoma extended cab, 4.0 V6. Overall good shape, frame is all good as well. First project is new headlights.
Those wheels do look good for a oem wheel 🛞 👍👍
Great Update, You really have done a lot and most all of it is functional and makes you truck Better!! 👍
Thanks for another great video
Nice video. Your enthusiasm is infectious which makes this very enjoyable to watch. Glad you are enjoying your evolving Taco. Cheers!
I haven't seen a young lady with this much knowledge and mechanical ability, since the late Jesse Combs. Keep up the great videos, and hope you get your own tv show someday!
I don't have my Taco yet but I'm going to enjoy a lot of your content while I continue to work towards that goal.
I'm afraid of taking any part off because I think I'll mess up the bolts. You're amazing.
Love the video and all your mods, rear Tacoma lettering in chrome, awesome 😎👍👍
I would recommend watching Project Farm's video on air filter comparisons. That K&N filter is letting a LOT of dirt through.

Chrome rocks! Blackout just looks like it's primed for paint.
Not gonna lie, my favorite thing about it is that there aren't a million things attached to it like most Toyota owners do.
All the jerry cans and ladders and maxtrax and pod lights and shovels and axes and tents.... Like they're going on a month long excursion every other day.
Just bought a 2019 Tacoma sr two days ago. I’m excited to build it up

I replaced the stock mats with Husky liners as soon as I got the truck but the fit is virtually the same.
Great mods. I love 23:43 that you have the courage to do most the installs yourself. Keep up the good work. Love your channel. ❤
Love the outdoors in the wild video seemed more free flowing great content and I dont even have a Tachoma.
I have silver sky metallic 2016 access cab and i think the chrome looks really good on it.
Incredibly well done on everything. I like all the improvements/mods while keeping it look oem. The silver paint and chrome trim with some black looks so nice. At first I thought you got a new truck since I haven't seen your videos for awhile. Great job!
Very clean OEM+ build. Well done!
Incredible journey from where it started to where it’s it is at now. Looking forward to seeing what else changes in this build…
Ps. If you end up getting the new Baja lights I’ll buy those old ones of if you incase anybody hasn’t asked 😂
Wow! How time moves so quickly, projects have been inspirational and the truck looks Kool. Enjoy the channel and content.
You've done such a great job with your 🌮 Chloe 👍. I particularly like the headlight upgrade. That really makes the truck look good. And yes I like how you didn't go overboard with the mods. And of course the truck looks great with Cody 🐶 sticking his head out of the window 😀. ♥️🌮🐕🐾
The mods that you have on this truck are super smart. Nice Work!
Does your truck wag its tailgate and jump up and down when you grab your keys, like a dog would when you grab the leash? 😂 Keep the great videos coming!
😂
I used chrome inserts on my tailgate as well and I think they look great too.
Time to prepare a build list and content for the Gen4 Tacoma coming this year. And selling the 3rd gen.
Love the video. Such a great video. I got a question. Are you planning on doing any more upgrades to this build, or is this the final built? Are you going to add stuff like a roof rack? Or ditch lights, just wondering. The truck looks great as it is, though..😊
Impressive. You've done an excellent job on all the mods!
Love your channel! Just got my lifted Tacoma limited.
As others have mentioned this is such a great video on very smart upgrades. Subscribed!
First thing I did was get rid of that grill and put a Toyota Pro grill in w the raptor lights.
Just curious if you want to share the dollar amount of mods you have added?? I bought my '22 last July and I already have over $6000 in mods (a lot of those ideas were from your videos)!! Never ends :/
Great now i have so many ideas! Awesome video
NICE build Chloe. the Tacoma is my dream truck.
Love your vids. They give me inspiration for my Tacoma build and my channel build.
I love chrome also!
I need to buy the LED headlights on mine 😮
I like your set up I got the 16 and still rocking... keep up with the mods!!!!
Fantastic upgrading. How come no winch?
if you want to prevent a lot of the heat on the inside of your truck i suggest getting ceramic tint on the windows and windshield.
It is illegal to tint the front windows and windshield in CA, Lol
@@jaypikachu6660 its illegal to tint your windshield everywhere but they make the "tint" essentially clear its just to block out heat.
Nice set up.
Looks great. Not too crazy and very functional
Looks great and give me lots of ideas for my 2023!!!
Do you install the films to cover the dashboard instruments? Smoke or windows one
Love your spirit, Chloe!
A big fan of what you have done for your tacoma, wanna get the suspension you got. How much you spent on them?
….as customary, the best for last. :) Excellent video as always Chloe!
Cool build. Maybe attach a cost spreadsheet?
I thought you had pop and lock. You didn’t mention that LOL
Gangster ass Build F-en Lit
Wish you would’ve included a link for that adapter that works with the Garmin Mini dash cam…
Whats the name of the website for the kit for the camera behind the rear view mirror
Chloe great videos. The 4Runner TRD wheels have a 4mm offset and your 2019 Taco TRD OR wheel should have a 25mm offset, The greater the offset the closer your wheel is to the hub, so you have a wider stance! Didn’t hear if you mentioned the OTT tune. How do you like it?
Also the BFGs I have both C and E class in 265/70/17, the E is a little stiffer, C a little stickier/softer and wears a little faster than the E
You've one a great job! Thanks Chloe
I like that mini dash cam and adapter… do you have a link as to where I can get both of those??? Thanks!
Original projector headlights has better defined cut-off line than the newer full led array headlights.
Chloe what would you recommend or your experience between the fox 2.5 elite series vs the trd pro fox suspension? Thank you love your videos
damm, im jealous. i need a truck but i stuck on 9 percent apr. interest rate on $3500 down.
Can you do a video on changing the automatic transmission fluid? It needs to be changed after 50K miles on a Tacoma regardless whatever Toyota says.
Haha your friend went ‘too hard’
Wow! You did a lot of mods. How much did you spent on all these mods? I love it!
Hi Chloe, would you tell us a feedback about ECU tunning you did. An update after couple of week. How it goes?
I’m planning on doing an update video after 6 months/ after around 5,000 miles. But so far, so good! I drove a non-tuned Tacoma the other day and could notice the difference in throttle response and shifting.
@@ChloeKuo thanks Chloe I will waiting your review. How is the mpg now better or still the same.
Awesome list thank you so much Chloe
Very nice. Enjoyed it a lot.
Thank you
Hi, Can you do video about the relay and fuse box that you have shown in this video?
Hi! I’m planning on making a comprehensive wiring video (ie, how to wire a switch to an accessory using a relay) and showing this box in more detail soon. Stay tuned!
@@ChloeKuo Awesome! Really appreciate your videos
Time to sell it & make room for new Tacoma 4th generation
How is the New Tune working for you!? Love your Vids!
I see a lot of people build up these overland rigs and then complain about how they only get 10mpg lol
I recently bought a 2016 Tacoma and it’s great. It’s been fun upgrading it too
Hi Chloe 🙋♂️
When lifted your truck, did you have to replace the needle bearing on the drivers side?
I lifted my truck 0.8" in the front with Bilstein 5100's and now I have a mild vibration between 20-40mph.
Thanks!
Great video! How much do you think you've spent in upgrades over the 4 years?
