Great video! I just went to Amazon and bought the matte black Tacoma tailgate inserts. Can't wait to get them and put them on my truck! Thanks for the tip!
MINERAL SPIRITS! I remove decals and dealer stickers all the time using a heat gun sparingly then cleaning the sticky goo off with mineral spirits. I own and operate a paintless dent repair business. Many of my customers want those gaudy dealer stickers removed. I remove them for free if asked. If a dealership is not paying you for advertising, then don't allow them to advertise on your vehicle. Don't forget to re-apply wax when finished.
For the sticker adhesive: 3M Adhesive Remover. I waited almost 4 years and tried several kinds so I'd know if I ever had to do it again, and 3M is the bomb.
Sweet lookin' truck, just found your channel... bought a 2021 taco 6 months ago and loving it! of course Im in debt to my eyeballs but Ill start with the $30 mods! lol
I just purchased my 2023 Trd off-road .I needed to get the decals, off ASAP Called my detail guy and he told me the secret to removing decals, without harming the clearcoat or paint .I had no idea it would be WD-40. Works great even if it’s a sunny day outside. took a little elbow grease, but it came off and looks like there was never a decal there. Hope this helps .
@@TacoManD4X4 absolutely not brother just use the WD-40. It takes the glue adhesive off do not put any scrubbing or hard abrasive materials on the paint.
I've been watching your videos for some time now must say you know about trucks, but I live in California if I can find mods under 100 I'm the luckiest man in the world.
just got a 23 gen 3 trd off road not sure why youd replace the rear sticker but good to know there's cheap replacements that look great if the factory one wears off
do you have a different headlight housing? or different headlights? I have the same taillights as you and I"m wondering if you wen with smoked headlights or a black housing.
hahahah my tacoma is like the opposite of yours that would be so cool to see them next to each other, i added chrome to my tacoma and some carbon and my truck is blue. like the truck bro!
I have a 21 limited with chrome exterior door handles and mirror caps, it's attitude black...you have a link to buy black mirror caps and door handles in attitude black for my 21 limited? Thanks! GREAT VIDEOS!
I feel like there's a team of boomers in every car company's design department that insists in putting chrome in every car. No one wants crome. Not in rims, not in badging, not around radios, not even on the damn shifter.
Looking forward on getting toyota Tacoma, is going to be hard on picking a color. Anyways your truck looks really nice I like everything all the modifications, congrats and color just mathes with that color
Thats a lot of miles man. I just got a 2016 TRD Sport with 40k miles for around that price range. Not much difference between the 2 years in my opinion
My TRD Sport didnt come with the black Tacoma letters!!!! All the other lettering is black but no letters on the tailgate dang. Great video man. Taillights look great. I am either gonna get the same ones or in clear red - cant decide
Nice , I did the sequential turn signals “blacked out” ones on my 21 trd off road 4x4 , plus I added the ceramic tint , black out kit overlay on the chrome on the emblem . My truck is midnight blk.
Hey Tacoman D I see you have ditch lights, I’m thinking about getting some for my taco. What’s your pros and cons about the amber light and white light?
Thanks for the reminders that you don't have to spend a fortune to make your rig look great. Nice mods, clear explanation. Much appreciated.
Thank you!!
@@TacoManD4X4how long did it take u to clean off the stock decal residue? I’m about to have to do this lol
@@TacoManD4X4 Where are the links to the modifications? They are not there now.
Much respect for having the long bed. I feel like everybody drives the shorty.
I love my 6 foot bed! Who needs back seat drivers anyway?
No regrets going with the long bed! And I think they look way better lifted
I would prefer a long bed, but I wanted a manual transmission double cab more.
Great video! I just went to Amazon and bought the matte black Tacoma tailgate inserts. Can't wait to get them and put them on my truck! Thanks for the tip!
These are some nice mods at an affordable price. I am looking to purchase either a TRD Sport or the off road model. Thanks for sharing.
I got my TACOMA inserts for free. Actually, I got paid $5 for installing and reviewing them. Gotta love the Tacoma World community!

Nice mods. Interior lights upgrade are a must too imo.
I actually have them at my house I just haven’t had a chance to install them. The Tacoma interior lights suck!
@@TacoManD4X4 I agree. The ones by meso customs are pretty good.
Chrome factory Inserts looked better on the inside IMO. Exterior looks real good though
I may need new glasses but I can’t find the link to the matte black side vinyl?
Nice, simple and very clean subtle modifications that catches your eye but can't figure out what's different
Do you have any links to your blacked out fenders?
No, truck came like that since it’s an off road
For the sticker adhesive: 3M Adhesive Remover. I waited almost 4 years and tried several kinds so I'd know if I ever had to do it again, and 3M is the bomb.
Nice build! Props on all of the interior mods, keep it up!
Thank you!!
Nice truck! Very unique color.
Thank you!!

I just bought one too but 2016 , want to level the front...yes there expensive but worth it ...
I bought my 2021 last year. I have a video on here
Thanks for the 2 sites you mentioned for accessories
No problem! Hopefully they work still! Video was filmed a while ago now
Honestly the interior chrome delete is the best part. Makes it look so clean. Definitely worth the money.
Where are your door ding strip for each side of your truck?
You could also add a center console tray for small items

It took of the adhesive after the sticker was removed? Did you use a scrubbing pad or anything?
@@TacoManD4X4 absolutely not brother just use the WD-40. It takes the glue adhesive off do not put any scrubbing or hard abrasive materials on the paint.
Do you have a video how you run your raptor when turn on the head lights
Use a little blow torch on the sticker ... just enough to get it hot, the paint will stay safe and the sticker on the body comes off easy.
I got the inserts for $15 on Amazon just a couple months ago. And I got the smoked sequential turn signals for $34.
I have a 2023 TRD Sport and it did not come with the letter inserts for the tailgate.
I've been watching your videos for some time now must say you know about trucks, but I live in California if I can find mods under 100 I'm the luckiest man in the world.
California doesn't prevent you from getting the things that he stated in the video lol
This is the dumbest comment I’ve read. All the stuff you get online are going to be the same price no matter where you live
@@BaseBuildsWithRelo Well... Not exactly, taxes are different lol. But yeah, not sure what this person is talking about.
Hey man, what size wheels and tires is that? Just bought a 2016 and love that look, testing to figure out what size to get.
Does that roof rack work with a Tacoma that has a sunroof? My 2023 has a sunroof but I want a roof rack
Yes, I have a sunroof on mine as well.
I’m actually selling this roof rack too!
Brother, two questions, what are your tires and rims? Where do you buy your accessories? greetings from florida
33” Yokohama Geolandar’s (mud terrains tires) and 16” Stealth Custom Series with -12mm offset 👍🏼
Video should be titled blacking out your Taco mods under for $100. Beautiful Taco keep up the quality content.
Buy yourself a rubber disc that fits on your drill takes off the vinyl and adhesive. No muss no fuss fast and easy.
Waiting for delivery right now on a Sarge Green TRD OR.
Sweet, congrats!!
just got a 23 gen 3 trd off road not sure why youd replace the rear sticker but good to know there's cheap replacements that look great if the factory one wears off
Good content man. Thanks for the video, hopefully pulling the trigger on a Gen 3 here soon!
Where did you get the TRD Offroad Badge?
where's the link to the black TRD sticker ?

Tailgate inserts do not come with the 23 trd sport. I ordered mine on Amazon and its made out metal too.
What tacoma is the best. Sport Pro. Of road. I’m trying buy one 😊
I got the American flag tailgate incerts for $17 on Amazon and they were also this plastic with the good 3M tape
Same. Look great and still holding.
do you have a different headlight housing? or different headlights? I have the same taillights as you and I"m wondering if you wen with smoked headlights or a black housing.

Haha nice!! Thanks man!
I got sequential ones 39.98 from Amazon look great
Awesome!! Do you have a link?
Awesome truck and great video! Do you have a video for wiring the raptor lights to DRL?
Hey thank you!!! Yes I did! th-cam.com/video/-1v844dp9Ww/w-d-xo.html
That Screen ProTech is no joke! 💯
Right?!
Nice rig, like your style
Thank you!
It boggles my mind why manufacturers put chrome on vehicles because everyone hates chrome unless you're like 80 years old
That makes two of us then haha I hate it!
The 2020 Tacos actually have a blacked out SX package.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I hate it. I bought 19 and the first I did was buy black over lays to cover that chrome look.
@@AnthonyHarris-cb9zg

I like chrome. And I'm only 65.🤣🤣🤣
Is it the trd pro if not how do you get the grill where it says toyota
I bought it from Toyotaproshop.Com
@@TacoManD4X4 ok thank you the build is very similar to what I want
Awesome man! I’ll answer any questions you have 👍🏼 if you have Instagram, add me tacomand4x4
I thought I purchased the sequential lights too on Tacomabeast lol!
Where can i get the yellow cube lights?
The ones on the hood or the ones in the grille?
@@TacoManD4X4 hood
Those are from runnin4tacos.Com they’re called ditch lights. They’re Baja Designs Squadron Sports
Is there a way to get the auto trans to shift a little better?
I can't find the links to the stuff that you mentioned. Where are the stickers and chrome covers for the rearview mirrors?
Buy white letters stickers for your Tacoma glovebox stencil. It stands out for the passenger
Been considering it!
@@TacoManD4X4 i love it man! You should
Looks clean man, I dig.
Thank you!!
W-40 is great with moving adhesive
Love the look. Very clean.
Thank you!!
Question: do you have converter theft going on where you live? If so do you hav protection for it or planning to add it to your truck?
Great video! Where did you get the trd off road badges on the passenger and driver side door?
DASH MATT IS NICE
I have a 21 limited with chrome exterior door handles and mirror caps, it's attitude black...you have a link to buy black mirror caps and door handles in attitude black for my 21 limited? Thanks! GREAT VIDEOS!

I’m Gen X and chrome is ok with me.
love this build
Thank you!!! With it without the bird poop?? 🤣
Bro. is it possible to instal TRD hood on my 2020 Tacoma 2.7 (4 cylinder) ?
I have never heard of someone doing that, I guess you would have to measure the hood and verify it’s the same size.
@@TacoManD4X4 as told me it has same structure and probably it may fit
Awesome looking Truck!
Thank you!!!
I got the black smoke sequential turn light from Aliexpress for $50 CAD shipped
Looking for orange pieces to replace chrome interior. Where can I fine that
What trim truck is this? And paint colour? Is it cement grey? Such a nice looking truck man. Should do a full build video
It’s a TRD Off-Road in cement grey👍🏼 I definitely will be soon!
Is that the cement gray or lunar rock?

Nice mods, good video. Nice truck!

Where can i buy that similar roof rack ? That style looks sick
It’s the prinsu roof rack. Prinsu studious has it for sale as well as Tacomabeast.Com runnin4tacos.com
i might buy a 2018 TRD sport with 110k miles on it for $27k. Do you think it's worth it?
Thats a lot of miles man. I just got a 2016 TRD Sport with 40k miles for around that price range. Not much difference between the 2 years in my opinion
Does your trd grill have the sensor?
Yep, I have a video where I install it.
What’re the specs on ur tires

Don't use goo gone. Wipe away excess glue with acetone then use buffing compound combined with a little elbow grease. Wipe clean with microfiber cloth
Hey Tacoman D I see you have ditch lights, I’m thinking about getting some for my taco. What’s your pros and cons about the amber light and white light?
How much was the bird shit on the hood?
Free 🤙🏼

I like that tail gate insert ! U got a link for that top rack ?
tacomabeast.com/collections/roof-racks-3rd-gen/products/2nd-and-3rd-gen-cab-rack
Rxt time use lacquer thinner for adhesive. Much faster. No. It does not harm the clearcoat.
Noticed you don’t have a front license plate, have you ever got stopped ? Or do you take it off for the vids ?
Awesome truck btw
I still do not have a plate and I haven’t been pulled over.. yet haha
The bird shit on the hood sure does complement the daytime running lights. 😁
Yeah I know 🤣🤣
