They look cool, have a nice interior, motor is smooth, and better highway mpg. That said they noticeably have less power than GM Twins and don't drive as well which is certainly suggestive. I really wanted to want the Tacoma, but left a little disappointed as I need the grunt for towing. Why do I want it all?
I know it's also for the channel but man I envy those that have the $$$ to buy a brand new truck and then not even a month later add on tons of offroad goodies like wheels, tires, lift etc etc. It's looking great though.
I was dead set on finding a new 2023 on the lot about two months ago. I drove the 2024 and absolutely loved it. I now have the 2024 TRD Off Road in Underground as well. Love the truck
I love those guys man I'll never go anywhere else. It was a pleasure to meet you too John! I'm the dude with the Black Taco that was worked on right before yours. Looking good, I love that lighting on the Rack! 🔥🔥🔥💯
Eh I have been loving your Tacoma 2023 TRD Offroad content! Cant belive I see you here! Getting the same truck you have in 3 weeks! Hoping it lasts me! First vehicle purchase I will be making!
@nathanrajevski thank you so much for saying this! Please let me know when you get yours and how you like it. I appreciate the compliment and I will continue to do the best I can for you. Thanks again 😁
Must say I wasn’t impressed with the look of your taco all stock but those mods you’ve had done have taken that taco into a sharp looking truck , very tasteful, much better than I would’ve expected
John, any plans of installing the beat-sonic amp in the tacoma? Assuming you have the jbl system, the jbl system really needs so help..... I just find it hard to believe that that little "box" drastically improves the system. would love to hear a new taco with the amp compared to mine but know that would be almost impossible. would hate to throw $300 at the amp & then end-up re-doing the system anyway.....
"I can't wait to use these off-road at night" Haha come on man, who are you kidding? There's no actual off-roading content on this channel, let alone at night. This channel is all about cosmetic upgrades for the "views".
Yea...all about views. No change at all. Why would I try to make my content better this year. Lets just stay boring for views. Why drive from FL to AZ, oh yea for views. You know me so well.
bro the background makes it look like you filmed this in front of a blue screen. it doesn’t look real! nice truck man i want a TRD Pro im definitely going to check out Westcott designs.
Jon, upgrades look good. Two questions. One, are the rock sliders frame or body mounted? Two, you mentioned the drop in mpg after the wheel upgrade. How much is it exactly? Thanks.
Driving that new truck off road over rocks man you're crazy, its your truck I'm sure after a few mud runs and rock climbs your gonna sell this truck to another sucker.
Awesome looking truck! The lift height, tire size and add on accessories is just perfect! Can't wait to see you offroad the Tacoma. Thanks for sharing!
Hi TRD Jon! Love your Westcott Design upgrades! Looks great! Form and function 👍 I am waiting for my Tacoma TRD Pro! I live in SoCal, but was recently visiting a friend in the Phoenix area and stopped in at Wescott Design’s shop to “dream” and get quoted on some must haves for the new Pro. Am I just wishful thinking, or did I hear you mention on RUclips that you may have a discount code to use at Westcott? I discovered them through your RUclips videos (love your channel, thank you!) Their quality and styling is second to none! Thank you again for all of your great info!
New 4cyl turbo motors in the trucks, as well as 6cyl turbo, are junk. Overall Feel is cheap. Do not like how it drives, accelerates, cheap plasticky interior, gigantic and useless screen. Overall it is 🤢 🤮… Not worth the money. Go buy the latest 4L and ignore the latest junk… not hating but, to me, truck feels like it was made for the latest ignorant crowd… it does look nice though, only not in my driveway…
What size rigid lightbar did you use? Also what specs did you choose for the roof rack and the rock sliders? Trying to figure out if its worth spending the max amount or if I can save some money somewhere without it hurting.
I'm liking the lift, tires, wheels, and sliders...not a fan of the roof rack or the spare tire carrier! So..4 out of 6 = 2 out of 3...and 2 out of 3 ain't bad!!! Looking forward to Cali excursions!!!
Great video as always👌. Can’t wait to get phase 2 done to just top it off.😉
Can't wait!!! Thank you guys!
I’m tryin to hate on 4th gen and you’re making that damn near impossible!
lol I'm sorry!
They look cool, have a nice interior, motor is smooth, and better highway mpg. That said they noticeably have less power than GM Twins and don't drive as well which is certainly suggestive. I really wanted to want the Tacoma, but left a little disappointed as I need the grunt for towing. Why do I want it all?
I hate the 4th gen til I drove one. I bought a TRD off road premium. Pretty happy with it.
Come hate on the price with the rest of us
I know it's also for the channel but man I envy those that have the $$$ to buy a brand new truck and then not even a month later add on tons of offroad goodies like wheels, tires, lift etc etc. It's looking great though.
You won’t envy their payments
Looking good doesn’t pay the bills
You remember his finance rate was like 8.7 percent on a new vehicle
Isn’t this just comped for the publicity that Westscott Designs will get out of the videos?
@@golfnut_4sure237 yeah sure but your average Joe isn’t going to be able to cut a deal
Used to be like that.. now that everything is paid off driving an older vehicle isn’t so bad at all
Toyota Tacoma for the win! I’m waiting for the hybrid
I was dead set on finding a new 2023 on the lot about two months ago. I drove the 2024 and absolutely loved it. I now have the 2024 TRD Off Road in Underground as well. Love the truck
Me, my brother Dave, my uncle Dave and my other brother Dave all like the way this turnt out
Glad all the Daves like it
I love those guys man I'll never go anywhere else. It was a pleasure to meet you too John! I'm the dude with the Black Taco that was worked on right before yours. Looking good, I love that lighting on the Rack! 🔥🔥🔥💯
It was great to meet you as well! I hope your drive home was great!!!!
The spare tire set up is ugly.
Can take it off if needed which is nice
@@TRDJon I bet you’re in trd pro cost now. Assuming it’s over 60k.
It will be
You did good Jon, that’s the perfect lift/wheel/tire setup…..truck looks great
I’m not the biggest fan of the new Tacoma’s looks (I prefer the third gen), but this looks bad ass. Well done!
With that lift I think that is the perfect size of tire for this truck.
ARIZONA ALWAYS FUN TIMES HERE ! WESTCOTT DESIGNS only way to go !
Man the Tacoma is looking MEAN, I like those rock sliders
FOR SURE
Literally love this channel!!! Best one out there! Keep up the great content!
Thank you so much! I appreciate that!!
Dude! That's sweet! Perfect set up man. That rooftop set up sets it off so good. 👌
Eh I have been loving your Tacoma 2023 TRD Offroad content! Cant belive I see you here! Getting the same truck you have in 3 weeks! Hoping it lasts me! First vehicle purchase I will be making!
@nathanrajevski thank you so much for saying this! Please let me know when you get yours and how you like it. I appreciate the compliment and I will continue to do the best I can for you.
Thanks again 😁
@@DunnMotors Will do boss! Have a good one
@@nathanrajevski You to brother, stay blessed 🙌
Thanks so much man. I appreciate you! I’ll take a gander at your content too. Thanks!!!
Holy smokes that looks fantastic
Im running a 285/75r17 tire 33.9 , it’s a perfect size if you don’t want to get to crazy . Great transformation looks good 👍
Totally agree!
This is going to be a fabulous build and I can't wait to see the next phase. Did you have any rub on the front tires?
Just on the mud flaps a tad. Nothing major at all
Love it, Jon! Loving the 2024 Tacoma and the mods out there are insane!
Thanks!!!
Must say I wasn’t impressed with the look of your taco all stock but those mods you’ve had done have taken that taco into a sharp looking truck , very tasteful, much better than I would’ve expected
Heck ya. Thank you man!
I bought a 2024 4RUNNER in underground, I see my first upgrade, those rims are awsome thank you!
OHHHHH YES
John, any plans of installing the beat-sonic amp in the tacoma? Assuming you have the jbl system, the jbl system really needs so help.....

Yes I do. I really like it in my Tundra
Awesome Jon, simply Awesome. I definitely love the bronze wheels too.
Thanks 👍
well done sir.i also like a little poke now and then
Perfect poke IMO
Jon off the subject, I have access to a 2024TRD Pro 4Runner , should I just wait for the 2025 TRD Pro 4Runner? Wanting your thought?
I’d take what you can now. The pro 4R may not be out till later next year if it follows how the new Tacoma is (if we get the 4R this year)
This is how you do a upgrade! Clean!
Looks so good. I'm over here just getting through my 1st thousand km's on my 2024 t4r off road. Also in underground ;)
Any issues with the drivetrain yet? Crazy that we even have to ask that question.
Looks fantastic! I've watched some of Jeff's videos, I'm very impressed with the Wescott quality. Also psyched to see you off-roading this!
"I can't wait to use these off-road at night" Haha come on man, who are you kidding? There's no actual off-roading content on this channel, let alone at night. This channel is all about cosmetic upgrades for the "views".

Solid looking for sure. Nice work. Nice design.
Much appreciated!
I like it bro
Thanks man!
bro the background makes it look like you filmed this in front of a blue screen. it doesn’t look real! nice truck man i want a TRD Pro im definitely going to check out Westcott designs.
Thanks 👍
Looks bad ass man, continue with the great content!
Will do bro!
WOW! What a transformation Jon! Truck looks great!!
Glad you like it!
Have you heard of any companies offering a tri-folding, or retractable tonneau cover yet
I haven’t no
How does the preload collar affect ride quality? Is it basically the same or a bit stiffer? I’ve been looking into their preload collars
It’s kinda suffered the rebound a little I feel. Need to talk with Jeff about it
Dude that looks freaking sweet
I think WescottDesigns needs to put a store in every state!! They need to make tree, stump, Alligator sliders for us here in Louisiana.
Call them up and they will recommend a qualified shop they trust closest to you.
The truck looks great man. Well done 👏..Can't wait for the next one 😊👌
Thanks 👍
That truck looks AMAZING!!! Love it so far!
Beauty truck TRD Jon!
I love it!
Worth about 15 thousand right am I right
PHASE_1: get truck kitted out
PHASE_2: sell kitted truck
Phase 3
I think I accidentally clicked on a westcott design ad 😂 holly shit dude you must’ve said it at least 20 times fuck
Well, they built the truck so they are gonna be mentioned as I’m explaining things
Jon, upgrades look good. Two questions. One, are the rock sliders frame or body mounted? Two, you mentioned the drop in mpg after the wheel upgrade. How much is it exactly? Thanks.
Still trying to even that out and see how off the trucks computer is. But the they are bolted to the frame. Around 17 MPG per the computer right now.
Bro you forgot the coolest part of the Rigid Adapt bar, the RGB LED backlights! I told Jeff that was the only reason I bought that bar for my LC 😂
I totally failed to mention that!
Looks awesome man! Nice work. 💪 💯
Thanks bro!
MMAN the Taco is gorgeous! I think im sold on that rear tire carrier..feels like it'll make so much more rear clearance.
It does!
That’s a sick truck. Can’t wait for it to get sicker?!
That wheel and tire setup is a massive improvement holy
Insane the difference
Driving that new truck off road over rocks man you're crazy, its your truck I'm sure after a few mud runs and rock climbs your gonna sell this truck to another sucker.
It will all be here on RUclips.
People will know what they are buying for sure.
Awesome looking truck! The lift height, tire size and add on accessories is just perfect! Can't wait to see you offroad the Tacoma. Thanks for sharing!
You and me both!
Man that thing looks so mean, I absolutely love it
Nice ride
Badass brother congratulations
Dude, looks amazing. Well done.
Glad you like it!
It looks awesome! Really like the built you are doing.
I appreciate that!
Very cool truck! Nice job
My lawd that looks good.
I don't like the swing out tire rack on the tailgate. I think a roof top tire makes more sense especially with the rack already there.
You can run it how you like for sure! It would just be added weight and drag uptop that i personally don't wanna deal with
Love thisss!
Did he sell the 4Runner??
Jon, what company does the best vinyl graphic install work for 4 runners?
All depends on your area man. I personally haven’t used anyone
Awesome
damn...that looks GRRREAT!
My goodness this thing looks so bad ass! The underground is just miles better than the magnetic gray.
Looks dope for sure!
OMIGAWD! Absolutely beautiful!! I’m in Canada, deposit down last August on a OR premium hybrid, in underground. But imma lust after yours… 😂
Good luck!!
@@TRDJon Thank you sir!
Just got a word,end of may trd pros will start showing up at dealers.
Hopefully!
But when will we see the pricing????
Best looking Tacoma on RUclips 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Appreciate that!!! More bad ass ones out there though for sure!
Looks really good
Perfect lift,tire, and wheel setup
These after market add ons look so much better on the Underground than the Solar Octane
Kinda a blessing in disguise
Your truck is really sharp lookin Jon. I love the color and the rear spare tire carrier. Well done with Westcott
Amazing job by them!
Looks great
Great work that Tacoma looks amazing congrats
Glad you like it
Looks great!
Thanks man!!!
that thing looks super sick 🏆
Looks awesome. Although I did cringe when you were driving over that rock :)
Looks really good so far.
Thanks!

Wow!!!!
Sweet rig. Aside from the wind noise from the lights…. How is the wind noise of the rack itself?
Non existent. If there was no light bar up top, I feel it would be as if it was stock.
Looks perfect
Thanks!
Any chance I can lend you my 2024 Tacoma trd sport and it get upgraded by you guys for a video
New 4cyl turbo motors in the trucks, as well as 6cyl turbo, are junk. Overall Feel is cheap. Do not like how it drives, accelerates, cheap plasticky interior, gigantic and useless screen.

Looks Great Jon! 👍🏽
Thanks! 👍
I have to say that Taco looks 1000 times better with the new rims...the stock off road rims are FUGLY
