I have the same light switch for my LED bar. I decided to disable the red "off" light that was constantly on. Didn't want any drain on the battery if it sat and it was also annoying to see the red at night. Love the look of the truck! Give me a call at LCE if you need any performance parts.
chris miller I installed them myself took about an hour and a half. The fit is very tight so make sure you put the covers in the sun for a half hour to loosen up a bit.
xcit thanks for the response. I watched a video of someone installing the katskin covers and it looked way hard so I didn't know if these where anything like that. Thanks man.
I have recently bought a 2016 Tundra, What do these mods do to your warranty? I put on a leveling kit to fit my 33" tires, because the stock tires are crap for off road but am worried about what the dealership would say if I went any higher.
dnmtorp it shouldn't effect warranty since nothing modified is mechanical, just suspension parts. If you had a problem with the engine or tranny and they wanted to tell you that your warranty is voided because of a coilover Toyota would have a fight on their hands from a lot of owners.
Marshall, thanks. Good post. I have a 2017 Tacoma Sport and was wondering where you got the leather seat covers. Also, how the winch would mount since I think you need to tear up the plastic front. Was the tailgate actuator hard to mount? That is nice also. 2017 almost the same as 2016 except for maybe the automatic window slide in back window. What do you think of the 4 lo operation? Like driving a tractor but worry about roll over sometime.
Bob Mullen The leather seat covers are made by clazzio. Google clazzio seat covers you will find the link. Also I have the C4 fab lopro bumper coming which will hold the winch. Yes I will be cutting the front bumper to accommodate the lopro bumper.
The ride on the road is actually better than stock. I feel it have much less body roll which I like, Some may prefer the softer ride especially for potholes. The truck rides great off road. With the upper control arms you get a bit more droop. Also absorbs the washboard areas with a confident feel.
Good looking truck! For me it was a toss up between the MGM and BBP colors, ultimately I went with the BBP. You mentioned those tires are 285s, are those 17" wheels? Also did you have to do any trimming?
hogpauls they are 17 inch rims yes I did have to trim plastic fender and do a cab mount chop. If I didn't go off road I probably wouldn't have to do a cab mount chop. If you went with a 65 series instead of a 70 series tire you probably won't need a Cab mount chop either.
duane ing The grill is made by custom car grills.com. Com. With matching magnetic Grey metallic bezel and letters. Matt at customcargrills has many options. Not cheap but very good quality and options. Super easy to clean. It's one of my favorite grills out there.
Love the truck ,I have the same one and just installed the same lift kit and tires.Do you have any tire rubbing when you turn the steering wheel all the way left or right?
I got the same truck I was wondering how much did you spend for the grill? Is the perf ss flat black or glass black? And what color are the letters of the TACOMA. Thanks
With the light bar in the front bumper does that stop a lot of air to get to your intercoolers? Or do you still get enough airflow that it doesn't make a difference?
I really like the duratrac's. I've had Procomp mud, Nitto Trail Grapplers and Toyo MT. Duratrac is a nice medium to an aggressive mud and a mild All Terrain. Considered an All Terrain tire it has a aggressive look without bad on road manners, ie : loud, poor mileage, rough feel. Although if I were to choose a Mud Terrain Tire I would choose Toyo. The duratrac handles good on the road, quiet yet nice tread for good evacuation offroad.
Hi, really nice Tacoma u got there, i just got a 2017 and was wondering on where u got the LED bar and mounts. could you please send me a link? and any comments on the LED bar?
Dude love ur mods. Love the seat covers and the lift gate lock unlock with your fob. Did you do the mod yourself for the lift gate? Was that hard to do? Those seat covers look amazing! Are they black in color or a dark gray? Thanks for the video.
Big O The actuator I did myself. It wasn't hard took about an hour. Longest part is running the wires under the truck keeping it clean following the existing wires to the front of the truck with zip ties.
xcit Thanks for the response. I really love your mods. I know want to do many hunks you did. The only thing holding me back is the $$$ but also the not knowing how. Lol. I bought a led light kit for the bed since I too have a cover. Any tips where I can get wiring diagrams. I would love to put in the actuator but not sure where to connect the wires. Thanks again and would love to see ur next mods.
Big O here is the way to install the pop& lock. ruclips.net/video/KyzdTEV_sBI/видео.html I followed these instructions basically. Only this is on the wire connections instead of doing what he says, go green to green and blue to red on the wiring, If you follow his instructions the wiring at the passenger side tap point your tailgate will lock when the truck is unlocked. opposite of what the doors do. Good luck its easy to do.

Looks good!
have you added a front locker? don't these come with just the rear
GMC Jae yes it does only come with the rear locker I'm looking now for a front. Haven't had much luck.
Truck looks good! did you install the seat covers and is it hard? Or did you have them installed, if so where? Thanks

Clazzio seat covers - dark grey or black?
iShawn W black
How have the seat covers held up for you over the year plus? Do they handle moisture weill...wet dogs and sweaty humans?
The seat cover don't affect the air bags in the seat?
Jose Gonzales The search covers have a cut out for the airbags.
what wheels are those??
nibbzs15 The rims are Icon Alpha 17 inch black satin finish
Sweet truck, hows that color holding up against stone chips?
Very nice truck. Did you have to re- gear?

Love what you done with it. The front coilovers; is that a leveling kit or did it just raise that much.
Jake Bullard it raised it 2 1/2 inches. Thank you
Nice looking truck! Where did you get the hidden led bar from such as the mounts etc.? Or is it just a regular one that you put in there.
Marshall, thanks. Good post. I have a 2017 Tacoma Sport and was wondering where you got the leather seat covers. Also, how the winch would mount since I think you need to tear up the plastic front.

I'm sure off road your Icon setup is night and day compared to stock. How does your truck ride on the street compared to stock?
The ride on the road is actually better than stock. I feel it have much less body roll which I like, Some may prefer the softer ride especially for potholes. The truck rides great off road. With the upper control arms you get a bit more droop. Also absorbs the washboard areas with a confident feel.
Thanks for the reply. Did you get the icon spring kit in the rear as well?
Good looking truck! For me it was a toss up between the MGM and BBP colors, ultimately I went with the BBP. You mentioned those tires are 285s, are those 17" wheels? Also did you have to do any trimming?

Very nice job can you tell me the exact grille ordering specs you used? Thanks great job so far!

do you know what wheel flares those are?
Love the truck ,I have the same one and just installed the same lift kit and tires.Do you have any tire rubbing when you turn the steering wheel all the way left or right?
Christopher DiPeri I did until I did the cab mount chop now no rubbing even off roading
I got the same truck I was wondering how much did you spend for the grill? Is the perf ss flat black or glass black? And what color are the letters of the TACOMA. Thanks
I really like your tailgate lock feature!! What is all required to transform that tailgate lock through your key fab? Thanks!
Chad Kendall Amazon has an actuator for the tundra that will work for the Tacoma as well. It runs around 79.00.
Any info on how you did this? Or a link on how to do it? I seen the part for the Tundra but is there instructions on how?
xcit for the tailgate actuator: is there an existing harness or did you splice something for the Tundra actuator? Truck looks awesome!
With the light bar in the front bumper does that stop a lot of air to get to your intercoolers? Or do you still get enough airflow that it doesn't make a difference?
zach10290 Doesn't make any difference, plenty of air gets through the grill.
Nice upgrades. Where did you purchase the tailgate auto release control?
Angel Barbosa Amazon, actuator for the tundra,it works for the Tacoma also.
If you don't mind me asking how much did all this cost you besides the ammo and stuff
Opinions on the durtracs?

Ethan Mouzakis 285 70 17 and I did have to do a cab mount chop and some trimming of the plastic fender behind the front tires
