- Usually everyone want's to know how much you've spent on your build and I get down to that in the first minute of this video. I just want to clarify that most of this stuff was finished already, as I said all I had to do was bold the bumpers up and I was done for that price. $500 wouldn't even get you a DIY weld yourself bumper from most aftermarket websites. If you don't know how to weld OR paint then your spending anywhere from 500-1500, I'm not sure on price but that would be my guess. Everything else in this build was fairly budget and it really does all add up. Do some research for suspension. I chose RC because it seems they're picking up the slack in recent years. After going to CO and overlanding I'm pretty happy with what I got for what... $300-500? Pretty good, otherwise I'd recommend Bilstein's. The new Vortex RC stuff I heard is good too. get after them deals budgets boisss

Would you say this is budget?
I spent $450 on a camper shell. That's all that you really need besides decent tires.
I’m building my 2nd gen taco now! Tomorrow it gets all new suspension and waiting for my bumpers and bed rack to arrive!
Awesome! Going budget or spending some dough??
What type of bumper r u getting?
Icon RXT leaf springs are nice, "semi-adjustable" also. I got Ironman 4x4 front coilovers recently to replace my clapped out bilstein 5100 lift, they seem pretty nice so far.
Love those wheels. I also got a Hooke road front bumper, a different style that they only sold a few of for some reason, had to modify it to fit and added some steel to the wings to make it wider and further back into the wheel well. For the price, not too bad with some modification.
True that, they're not bad especially if you can tinker yourself.
Totally love the lift up side doors on your topper
They’re nice to have!
Those thunderer Trac Grip tires you are switching to are a bad idea. I ran them in my 06 Tacoma for 2 years and one developed a large crack so I had to replace the back 2 and then the fronts wore so bad the treads were all messed up and so I said forget it and get rid of them all and went to Toyo open county’s.
Thanks for the info, thankfully I bought ko2's on Facebook for a crazy deal. Got 6 for $400. Lots of tread left and no weathering.
Thats not bad, the first 18 days i owned my 2016 4runner i spent 17k
Nice truck and video man. I’m currently building my 2009 double cab short bed.
You have any vibration issues after you lifted yours?
Thanks! No vibrations. I also got the front and center diff spacers. Idk if it helped at all but it's there doin something lol.
If you lift, very likely you will get the front diff vibes eventually, if not immediately
Yo since you've owned both, I want your opinion. I've currently got a 2nd gen tacoma 4x4 4.0L 6spd manual (the dream). Am I crazy for wanting to switch to a Lexus GX 470? I'm curious which you prefer, and if you can recommend one over the other. The tacoma is my daily, but still sees off road use here and there. I live in rural Alaska at the moment, so in general the environment is pretty tough on the truck as it is. Haven't invested in any mods on the taco yet, just weighing my options before I go all in.
Hey, in my personal opinion I think the Tacoma is just more versatile. You can strip down and still use it to haul things in the bed that are dirty or whatever. They typically get better gas mileage even with mods because the Lexus has the V8. You don't have to worry about the timing chain since it's actually a chain, the Lexus has a belt that has to be changed every 100k. They basically have the same reliability, it's just that the Lexus has that one flaw. Since going to the Tacoma I think the only thing that bothers me is the interior, the Lexus is definitely nicer on the inside. Yes you can upgrade the seats in the Tacoma as well as the sound system, but you're always going to have the rattling body panels on the inside. I've gotten used to it but still kind of sucks. Some weatherstripping and insulation is helped. If I were you I'd hold on to that Tacoma and mod it out. Then if you want something more luxury and fuel efficient just go with a cheap sedan Lexus.
@@DailyDrivenDeathTraps thanks for the reply brother. I suppose I’ll keep the tacoma for now. My only issue with it rn is that it’s starting to show small spots of surface rust all over the frame. I should have started treating it earlier, but I’m gonna try to do regular applications of fluid film so I can keep this truck in good shape for a long time
@@TheGopherNut well me being from Iowa that's a normal. Hell it's even normal to do a patch on a Toyota for me now lol. I think you're good. Tap with a screwdriver around everywhere and make sure there's no break through, if nothing just wire brush then apply fluid film. Either the black stuff or regular. Do this once a year and you'll have it forever.
What year s ur taco? Mine had the back leaves replaced by the dealership, about 5 years ago, by the dealership. I guess there was a recall.
09. Mine were replaced too by previous owners stealership
The oem leaf springs are junk, so are the replacements. RXT packs are nice
What kind of head unit is that? Any issues with it so far?
It's a random ebay unit I found for like $120. Only issues is that I couldn't figure out how to make it work with steering volume controls and sometimes android auto can be a pain to connect to but I'm pretty sure it's my phone that's the problem most of the time.
Where did you guys get the camper top?
The drawers and bed are custom made. Topper is ARE I believe
