Very very nice functional upgrades. Re gearing is not necessarily to turn the tires, it takes the unneeded stress off your motor, transmission and associating components but helping move additional weight. I would of upgraded the rear locker. There have been some issues with the factory e locker not engaging but hoped it’s been worked out. The BBK and rear disc conversion is awesome, I’d love to see a video and review on those.Truck looks awesome.
You are 💯 correct on upgrading your brake system!! This is one thing these folks do is put on big ass tires and wheels and think stock brakes are designed for it? No absolutely not, I’m know genius but this is common sense. Love everything you’ve done to your Taco! Have a fantastic day
Very Wise Choice on the Disc Brake Upgrades!! You are Exactly Correct Talon; Many People Underestimate the Importance of Upgrading to Better Aftermarket Brakes on the Front/Rear Tires Especially after Adding Bigger/Heavier Wheels & Tires to their Mid-Sized Trucks! And that Doesn't even Include all the Extra Weight from the Solid Steel Aftermarket Front/Rear Bumpers, Extra Lighting, Winches, Extra Spare Wheels/Tires and Any Other Gear they keep inside the Cab or Inside/On Top the Bed of the Truck... So in My Opinion, that was Definitely a Necessary Upgrade that will Keep you Safer On/Off the Road; As well as Adding Better Performance Off-Road on the Tails!.. 🤓👍
Interested to see if you change things in the future. Most people wheel their truck and upgrade out of necessity whereas, IMO, you've just built it based on other people's builds. Nice truck regardless.
No, I built it based off my knowledge of living in a 4x4 sprinter van for 2 years and spending 90% off my nights off road. Same off road knowledge can be applied to a truck in order to make it perform the way I want it to.
Love your setup man! Gave me a few ideas for mine. I am definitely looking to keep mine closer to stock and light weight, but still some cool stuff you got going on. I need to get down to R4T and talk to them about some options. Kudos on the brake upgrade, so over looked!!
Good job, Love your build. How ever I feel that the Front Locker and brakes perhaps just a little over kill. Other than that you have a very cool build. Two thumbs up…
SEI Productions Pimp My Ride coming to MTv this spring! lol You know how to pimp a ride man! I can't imagine the expense, but either way its so sick and totally worth it! Thanks for sharing!
Ok Talon, now you need to upgrade your stereo system. You can keep the factory head unit but I'm gonna have to install a new dsp amplifier, actual good speakers and build you a custom sub box somewhere out of the way. Then tune it all and get it rocking nice and loud 🤘😝 we do custom upholstery too! Love the truck dude!
Wow that truck has everything you could do it seems. I don't think I will ever quite go that radical but out west I am sure you need it. I do a lot of forest service roads and less technical stuff but I have to daily drive my rig. 2021 SR V6 4X4 Prinsu roof rack with light bar, Yeasu FT-2980 2 meter ham radio, and Pro Comp Vintage 69 wheels with Wild Peak AT's. That's it so far.
This is all pretty extreme. Definitely not necessary for what I’ll be doing but I love building out vehicles like this do for me it’s all worth it 🤘🏼 thanks for watching Jeff!
I dig it. Plan on building my own Tacoma rig next spring after closing on my house. Curious - with your truck at 85-90% complete, what's the total dollar amount you've pumped into it?
Wow some most excellent upgrades and going with the better braking system in the back that’s pretty wild headlights are totally kicking ok 👌🏼 🔥🤠🔥Camping Russ out
Well thought out and beautiful build, strong work sir! I'm curious to see if you run into any issues with the rear disc conversion when using any of the TRD OR crawl control functions, would love to do this but haven't played with those enough on my truck to determine if I'd be willing to lose them.
Mike built his years ago so his is more dialed in and he’s refreshing it with some of these mod that I’ve done to mine. Both are built for a little different reasons but you will probably see a video covering both of our trucks soon 👍🏻
I'm interested in seeing a comparison of the Throttle Grenade vs the KDMax tune. They seem really similar, except for the throttle unit looks like you can switch it off and on.
@@TalonSei Totally agree. Thats the difference, one is engaged all the time while the other can be switched off and on. The KDMax tune is basically a throttle tune on top of the OVTune. Do a test run with the throttle grenade on explosive and let me know if the throttle is really touchy.
They are from Alpha Rex! If you order them from R4T you can save 5% off with my code “talonsei” runnin4tacos.com/products/alpharex-nova-series-led-projector-headlights-2016-2020-toyota-tacoma
@@TalonSei thank you, It was only mentioned that the cab mount chop was done but did they cut the pinch welds or anything like that? I appreciate the info, wanting to go 35s soon!
Is it really an overland Tacoma if u don't have patches all over ur headliner. Truck looks killer. I run 33s on my gen 3. Never even considered to change up my breaks. And good point with the gears. Nice to see but overkill for most.
A fully loaded and outfitted Tacoma should be regeared. And used. Mall crawlers not so much . Of course headlights and taillights are VERY much a requirement
What's up Talon!.. Your (New) Toyota Tacoma looks F#CKING AMAZING!! You've got EXCELLENT TASTE my Friend! 🤘😝 But then again from Watching all your Videos/Blogs over the Past Few Years you've always had Good Taste and you Make Similar; if Not The Same Choices I would make in the Features & Products you Buy. Are you going to Smoke Out the Orange Reflectors a little on the inside of your (New) Headlights/Taillights on the Right & Left Side of the Truck? I'm guessing you've at least thought of it... 🤔
Awesome build! Upgrading stuff is part of the fun of ownership (firearms, autos etc)….I just cringe at what I spent beyond the purchase price. Any estimates on the total build once complete?
I believe it’s 3 heat cycles of 50miles or so and then east for 500 miles before changing the break in oil. Don’t quote me on that tho, you can find more info on Nitros site.
My Taco sucked on 33’s! I am in the must regear camp. I hated my shifting. If the OV tune was out when I had my 2016 I might have kept it. Big fan of my gladiator rubicon though.
Front brake calipers on a Tacoma are already 4 piston from the factory. Snorkel doesn’t do a whole lot of good with regard to water fording when the exhaust is low, plus the snorkel needs to be sealed to a sealed air box. Truck does look good, go enjoy it.
@@TalonSei your exhaust it still lower than your air box/inlet (which should be okay as long as the motor is running). I guess maybe I misunderstood you on the brake segment, you had said “most people upgrade to 4 piston,” which I hear that as upgrading from less. Time to supercharge or twin turbo! Again, nice truck! Enjoy!

I’ve been running stock gears and big tires on my Tacoma for 100,000 miles with zero drivetrain issues.
I've never clicked a notification quicker. Let's see the beast!
This lights are dope

Solid rig! Love how you are thinking of mods most Tacoma owners don’t think of! Great build so far! Excited to see it hit some trails!!

Brakes are something that a lot of Harley guys neglect when they do performance work too. Being able to stop is wildly important.

It's....the perfect build, really. Not much more to say.
Dude the taco looking spicy 🥵 homie
Thanks man!
Truck is a dream build for sure! Check out Teton Workshop shift knob. Great looking shift knob
It’s a clean build! I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks the rear drums need to be upgraded to discs
Some people just have a death wish 🤣
It’s old tech. It should come standard from Toyota
Sick truck man. When you started talking about re gearing I really thought you were about to act like re gearing was seriously not necessary lol
It’s not as big of a deal as most people make it seem haha. If you want to do it right you definitely need gears tho 👍🏻
Love your setup man! Gave me a few ideas for mine. I am definitely looking to keep mine closer to stock and light weight, but still some cool stuff you got going on. I need to get down to R4T and talk to them about some options. Kudos on the brake upgrade, so over looked!!

I dig it. Plan on building my own Tacoma rig next spring after closing on my house.
Curious - with your truck at 85-90% complete, what's the total dollar amount you've pumped into it?
This is at least a $75k build
Tacoma market right now is $60k for a new one right now with the shortage
Probably $25k-$35k in mods
Awesome build. Nice call on the brake upgrade 👌
You need some Desert Does It Seat Jackers. Life changing!!
@adrian ramirez - do they really make that big of a difference? I've seen these before and I'm curious. Thanks!
@@phillygrappler I’m 5’ 11” and it helps me feel like I’m no longer sitting in a canoe.

I still can't believe that Tacomas still have rear drum breaks
Coming along nicely be blessed
You should do a price break down

Solid build man! I'm assuming you upgraded the Brake Master Cylinder to push all that fluid to those massive calipers? Highly underrated mod, BBK.
Very cool,
This thing is making me second guess my diesel. Geez
Diesel is the way to go what ya want a ton of torque tho!
Ayyy! Lookin slick my guy. Let me buy the stock headlights off of you.
Love my Throttle Grenade.
It’s a great little tool to have 👍🏻
Time to go back to Moab oh an and test it.
Well thought out and beautiful build, strong work sir! I'm curious to see if you run into any issues with the rear disc conversion when using any of the TRD OR crawl control functions, would love to do this but haven't played with those enough on my truck to determine if I'd be willing to lose them.
Love it. Question is who's Taco is more built at this point yours or Mike's? Looking pretty even to me.
Mike built his years ago so his is more dialed in and he’s refreshing it with some of these mod that I’ve done to mine. Both are built for a little different reasons but you will probably see a video covering both of our trucks soon 👍🏻
@@TalonSei looking forward to it man. 👍
Seen me done click that like button great video man 🔥🔥
Full Brocoma build 😎💵💵💰
Let’s go!
TOP 👍
Supercharger?
Dope upgrades. Love the headlights. Any plans for stereo/speaker upgrades?
Have you covered anywhere that your talon key chains restocked? I just checked and feel like I hit the jackpot 😂.
I'm interested in seeing a comparison of the Throttle Grenade vs the KDMax tune. They seem really similar, except for the throttle unit looks like you can switch it off and on.
The throttle grenade is a throttle controller, not a tune. I have the OV tune on my truck.
@@TalonSei Totally agree. Thats the difference, one is engaged all the time while the other can be switched off and on. The KDMax tune is basically a throttle tune on top of the OVTune. Do a test run with the throttle grenade on explosive and let me know if the throttle is really touchy.
It is. Explosive mode is kinda insane. I use the intel mode for normal driving and crawl mostly when off road.
Does converting the rear to disc brakes mess with the crawl control and what not? I’ve heard that the system that runs that relies a lot on the drums.
Damn Daniel
What headlights do you have brotha, they are beautiful I want them lol ?

Hey Talon, can you go over what you needed to do in order to fit the 35s? Thanks man!
Check out the part 1 video where I covered suspension. You get a good look at what we did there 👍🏻
@@TalonSei thank you, It was only mentioned that the cab mount chop was done but did they cut the pinch welds or anything like that? I appreciate the info, wanting to go 35s soon!
Pinch welds are cut and hanmered flat, cab mount chop and then suspension is what was done to fit
Have 16s like most and won’t do 17s so no big brake kit
Is it really an overland Tacoma if u don't have patches all over ur headliner. Truck looks killer. I run 33s on my gen 3. Never even considered to change up my breaks. And good point with the gears. Nice to see but overkill for most.

Hey Talon love the bild. Did the brake upgrade have any effect on the crowl control? As fair as sensitivity?
Not that I have been able to test yet but it will report back. It should work the same
I wanted to covert the rear to calipers until I saw the price and deemed it wasn't worth it
When does a supercharger go on if you are going for broke? Awesome rig so far.
That might be a line that I won’t cross 😆
What editing application(s) you use for your videos?
Final Cut Pro
Until you get your air chuck dust cover you can use duct tape
So fucking dope! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🇺🇸🇺🇸
So dope talon ! Hey I was wondering will you still be doing the Alaska trip with the sat van ?
Yup! Hopefully in the summer of 2022
Talon do you plan on getting a ham radio and getting certified?
Got one that I keep in the van. Gonna do something different with the truck
What's up Talon!.. Your (New) Toyota Tacoma looks F#CKING AMAZING!! You've got EXCELLENT TASTE my Friend! 🤘😝 But then again from Watching all your Videos/Blogs over the Past Few Years you've always had Good Taste and you Make Similar; if Not The Same Choices I would make in the Features & Products you Buy.

Awesome build! Upgrading stuff is part of the fun of ownership (firearms, autos etc)….I just cringe at what I spent beyond the purchase price. Any estimates on the total build once complete?
You can add all of the links in my website to your cart and get a close figure 😆
What is the break in interval that you were told? My 2021 Tacoma 3.5l, I was told 500 miles or no towing until 1000 miles
I believe it’s 3 heat cycles of 50miles or so and then east for 500 miles before changing the break in oil. Don’t quote me on that tho, you can find more info on Nitros site.
@@TalonSei my dealer said no need to change oil till 10k, ha. I changed it at 3500 miles, peace of mind! THANKS TALON…
I am referring to the diff oil. Upgrading ti a very specific type of gear oil.
Badass jacket bruv... Gonna head to the site and see if you have more in stock. Thanks for the truck update!
These will be available mid December 🤘🏼
@@TalonSei hell yes. Thank you sir!
Truck is looking baller! How bad of hit did you take on the speed with those 5.92 gears??
Doesn’t seem bad at all. The speedo is off so I watch my speed through the garmin overlander
@@TalonSei plan on getting the speedo updated or just live with it?
I’ll probably live with it
Damn I missed the 1/2 off Throttle Grenade code when your video first dropped as funds were low, now it’s only 10%😢
My Taco sucked on 33’s! I am in the must regear camp. I hated my shifting. If the OV tune was out when I had my 2016 I might have kept it. Big fan of my gladiator rubicon though.
Dont forget you are limited by your alternator on water crossings. you will destroy your alternator after one crossing.
Well thought out build. Looks great. No warranty now. I guess you know that. Rear drums on the Taco is a huge miss by Toyota.
What’s a warranty? 🧐
@@TalonSei LOL. You have a better truck for sure. Enjoy man.
Not a huge fan of them, but I like the look and functionality of this one.
upgraded brakes AND kept the drum breaks. Stops quicker than my GF.
Jeez. What’s the total cost so far?
Add up everything on www.seiproductions.com/seigarage for a close estimate 👍🏻
I'm subbed to Talon Sai and I love his videos but they never show up in my feed. Is he like shadow banned or something?
Very shadow banned unfortunately 👎🏻
I am so sad you got rid of your OEM led headlights!!!!
The AlphaRex Novas are brighter and look a lot better than stock. Might give away the stockies
@@TalonSei they do look great, most aftermarket headlights don’t look that nice!. The TRD Pro headlights are all blacked out too.
No protectors in stock lights tho
Not a bad way to spend $100k!
Front brake calipers on a Tacoma are already 4 piston from the factory. Snorkel doesn’t do a whole lot of good with regard to water fording when the exhaust is low, plus the snorkel needs to be sealed to a sealed air box.
Truck does look good, go enjoy it.
That’s why I went 6 piston with bigger rotors. I’m already running a high mount exhaust and it is sealed to the air box. Happy Thanksgiving.
@@TalonSei your exhaust it still lower than your air box/inlet (which should be okay as long as the motor is running).
I guess maybe I misunderstood you on the brake segment, you had said “most people upgrade to 4 piston,” which I hear that as upgrading from less.
Time to supercharge or twin turbo!
Again, nice truck! Enjoy!
🇺🇸🤙🏻
I wish the truck was In focus during the video when your talking cause I want to see the truck as you talk. maybe it's just me.
Alpharex lights are 1000% worse than stock. You literally went from the best, brightest possible option to the worst just for looks.
Happy Thanksgiving to you too! 🦃
