Build Overview: 2014 Toyota Tacoma

We had the pleasure of building out this customer's 2014 Toyota Tacoma. The truck came in completely stock and left with a capable, versatile, and reliable build that will serve him well for years to come. The smaller wheelbase and width of the 2nd Generation Tacomas make this a great platform for technical trail riding, while the bed still provides space for your overlanding gear, if that's more your speed. 

If you're looking to build out your Toyota, Lexus, or any other vehicle, our experienced team at TEQ Customs is here to help. From suspension to wheels and tires, roof racks, lighting, electrical installs, and much more, TEQ Customs is your one stop shop for high quality modifications.

Overview

With 2.5in of lift in the front and 1.25in in the rear, the ride height on this Tacoma is much improved over stock. The Dobinsons Suspension provides a smooth ride across all terrains, and the Apache Upper Control Arms ensure the alignment is in spec.

Additionally, better approach and departure angles provided by the C4 Bumpers help tremendously off-road. For recovery, the Warn EVO 10-S winch will be set to get you out of any sticky situations. Warn reliability is top notch as well, no matter what you put it through.

For lighting, the Morimoto headlights and Baja Designs lighting provide perfect on and off-road visibility. All auxillary lighting is controlled by a SwitchPros 9100 Switch System, keeping the wiring neat and organized. 

Up top, the Sherpa Roof Rack provides versatile storage and mounting solutions for future adventures. 

Finally, the 285/70/17 Toyo MTs are a great choice to tackle the muddy terrain of the Southeastern USA.
