The only thing I would've wanted at the end of the video was a before and after photo/video to contrast all of the amazing work y'all put in. The build was sick!
Not only is Ken’s build outstanding so is Ken. Love what Mateo and TacomaBeast does for people. I have 2018 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road 4x4. I wish I could afford a build like this.
Oh goodie ............ can't wait ....... I set "a reminder" for the show ...... "Overhauled" ?? ...... but Ken, you and Mateo's Tacos are already super sick tricky sweat !!!! ........ so this will be an interesting show ........... I just bought a 2000 F350 4x4 with the 7.3 diesel ............ its sweat ....... id love to come overland with you gentleman and cook in Colorado or especially central and southern Utah ........ Merry Christmas Mateo and Ken ....... I love you content and amazing filming and editing !!!!
I'm old school. To me, expedition vehicles were always Camel Trophy Land Rovers or tricked out Jeep XJs. But this truck with all the modern styling in the racks, rigging and lighting just blows my freaking mind! You all did an awesome job guys!
Wow! Now that’s an absolute overhaul and not a clickbait. Great job to everyone who helped make this possible and Mateo for making this great video for us to watch.
C4 fabrication is too notch! Clean welds and not a lot splatter. Customer service is great as well! Kylie answered all my questions within a day. Good stuff, can't wait to get the rear bumper!
The most crucial part which most of people miss , you guys can actually visualize what your client wants even when they are not speaking the technical jargons . You guys see through him and knew exactly what he wants. More than ken could say it , his facial expressions said it out loud, You guys Nailed it .
What an amazing build! You are one lucky giant guy! Lol. There is nothing that I can add or change if thats my truck. I love how all the wirings are now all hidden, no more messy wires coming from all sides. The skid plates looks like one piece n will protect the truck from anything that may block you from going to your destination. I never appreciated Toyota Tacomas before but now you got me thinking lol.. goodluck n stay safe n hopefully i can build my own truck to look like yours too soon! It all comes to time and money hehe.
No one is more deserving than Ken. Great guy. Great content creator. He deserves the best from the Tacoma Beast Team. Cant wait for more awesome content from both you guys! Great job to the companies and their products!
As an Jeep Overland Enthusiast I am super impressed with this Build,, will highly consider a Tacoma on my next overland build and purchase... Great job I especially like the professionalism and Team commitment to doing everything without compromise.. But I would have to get me an air bnb for 2 weeks while you guys build out my Tacoma since im coming from NY ! awesome video!
I typically don’t have the attention span to sit through a 20 min video, let alone 49 mins, but the work you were doing on Kens rig had me hooked. Love the hidden harness on the up top bed rack. I’m looking at UpTop because they’re the only ones that make one compatible with my RetraxPro tonneau cover. Love the build. Great job. I’ve been to the Badlands of SD when I was a kid. Love to return in my truck.
This is AWESOME! I really love the fact that Mateo got in there and wrapped the grill. The build turned out super sweet! The uptop roof rack 👌🏽… the bed rack 👌🏽 the swing gate 👌🏽 … the wrap 👌🏽 …the whole build 👌🏽 the heritic lights 👌🏽….epic job as always filming and creating this awesome content!! Love seeing the community come together t make things happen!
Thanks for the kind words frank! If you ever need help with your build we have a team of experts dedicated to helping you, just shoot them an email at support@tacomabeast.com 🤙
You guys are killing it! My 2nd Gen trail limo will need some love. I'll be. coming to you guys when I start my build! Thank you for all the great work on your channel. It brings me joy!
Such a great video! You guys did an awesome job on the Tacoma. Really enjoyed the editing and overall production you guys did! Really stoked for Ken, right on!
Fantastic Video, It's Amazing how we can see the Industry Leaders came in and rebuilt this TACO in stages. I loved how the New HERETIC light bar mount was created on the spot & seeing the MAJISTIC C4 "Engineers" overcome every challenge along the way, they Crushed it. Seeing new Products was a bonus. As always MATEO Nailed it. This is a perfect Christmas Video, Thank you!
wow !!! the amount of work is nuts ..... insane ...... and they didnt even touch the drive line or motor etc ....... great video !!! .................. its off the rails SICK and BA Dope !!!
Jake is clearly a 10000 hour master of his craft. The mods are all fantastic. But I'm really jealous of all that bright indoor space to work. 450 in the city...
The engineer from Uptop seems like a legitimately knowledgeable and friendly dude. Considering one their racks over a Prinsu simply because of the impression he left.
That is so badass. You guys did an amazing job. When I get my Taco, I would love half that treatment. Congrats Ken. Great job team and everyone who had a part in the build.
Very impressed with everything about the build. Wish you guys would have started with cleaning it up and then cleaning it along the way. Keep up the great videos!
I would like to just receive the shit I ordered a month ago….i think these guys need to either focus on creative content and influencing, or running a successful business.
Our team is big enough where we can do both. Thanks to your support demand does not stop growing. You can rest assured we are working hard to get your orders shipped out on time.
Not hating at all, but I liked your old bed and roof racks better. The old bed rack tied into the bed mounts near the tailgate for added stiffness with all that weight on top and really just seemed beefier overall. I liked the dual swing outs better as well because it doesn't rely on one hinge point for all the weight. Just my opinion of course, so cheers to new fun stuff to play with and Happy Holidays!
I appreciate the comments. I honestly wasn’t sure about having a single swing out but it really hasn’t bothered me. What bothered me about the cbi one was the latch and how much shook. The one from C4 is bullet proof. I understand your points about the leitner bed rack and honestly I love their stuff and have nothing bad to say. I like the uptopoverland roof rack for its strength and I like the bed rack which completes the look and design from front to back. I’ll be picking up some bed stiffners sometime soon.
@@brokenwrench404 it was from CBI. Latch broke on my 4 times in 3 years and hinge bearings almost seized on both sides and was a major pain to replace. A year later and still super happy with the c4 bumper. 👏🏻👏🏻

Everyone involved absolutely killed this overhaul! The small details on the C4 skids and UpTop Overland racks are top notch!
🙌
You guys absolutely killed this build. Ken’s truck looks amazing.
Thanks Dustin!!
Definitely a killer build! Would love to have a build like this!
So awesome. Just bought my first Tacoma a 2022 trd pro. I hope someday to have it built up half as good a the Tacoma beast 🤙
Mateo this overhaul was epic! The attention of the detail of the hole team makes all the different! Nice editing and really important info, awesome!
Amazing build - Ken you have a fabulous truck for more adventure. Cheers.
Thanks bud!
bro this is the sickest tacoma build I have ever seen
Thanks!
It’s like I’m watching HGTV but for truck builds! Awesome guys
Hell yeah 🤘🏻🤘🏻
That’s what we were going for 😂🔥
That’s Beauty N Da Beast bro….. Now I want it done on my 2023 TRD Pro.
You guys absolutely knocked this build out of park. Ken’s truck looks amazing!
Thanks a bunch!

@17:20 - I like the way you guys accept the mistake and step up to correct it.. That's what an Eng does.. Loved it..
Always 🔥
2nd gen, right on!! I would have given the condenser and radiator a shot with the power washer while it was accessible.
Hahah yeah come on guys. Could you have washed it while it was accesible?!

SO STOKED FOR KEN!!! Amazing job guys. This is such an amazing transformation. I cant wait for my C4 armour to arrive.
Dude I can’t wait for you to get your armour!!
The video production is f'in amazing. I can't skip over that. The build tho? That's off the charts sick! Outstanding!
Thanks!
I'm old school. To me, expedition vehicles were always Camel Trophy Land Rovers or tricked out Jeep XJs. But this truck with all the modern styling in the racks, rigging and lighting just blows my freaking mind! You all did an awesome job guys!
Glad to change your mind 🔥
I always have like Tacoma but now 😅 It’s just blow my mind how clean and perfect it is ! Good job!
Wow! Now that’s an absolute overhaul and not a clickbait. Great job to everyone who helped make this possible and Mateo for making this great video for us to watch.
Completely agree. Thanks Mateo!!
Thanks for watching!
Just seeing this and all I can say is SICK!!! SICK!!! SICK!!! Amazing what $$$ can get these days. Great job all!
I totally agree with you there!
Absolutely killed it!! It turned out so awesome!!
What a bunch of smart hard working guys. I wish they do something like that for my Tacoma 2016
This is amazing… that wrap and decal work was on point, and definitely not as easy as that dude made it look. Sick job
Probably the best Tacoma video I've seen! What a great group of friends and what a great build too🤙
Wow. Ken dude. Mateo dude. THIS Truck!! Insane overhaul. Love it!!
When we going out for an adventure?!
C4 fabrication is too notch! Clean welds and not a lot splatter.
Customer service is great as well!
Kylie answered all my questions within a day.
Good stuff, can't wait to get the rear bumper!
That’s so good to hear!
Happy Birthday Ken! Great job Mateo!
Thank you 🙏🏻
OP
This is so badass.
Total 180° transformation New look is breathtaking
You got that right. I love the new look!!
My 09 paint job is expiring in a hurry. Man I want that wrap! Great color and install, very clean.
That's a sick build!
I've been stuck between the Prinsu and UpTop roof rack. After seeing it in action, definitely going with the UpTop
I have an uptop on my 4Runner. It’s fantastic. The folks working there are amazing too
Having switched from prinsu I can say that the uptopoverland is very well thought out and built to be extremely strong.

Thank you 🙏🏻
Build is sick. Great job on the video compliments the vehicle well.
Thank you. I think the video came out awesome!!
36:45 incredible landscape. man!!! just love it
Came out great! I wish it was from a stock truck though as the transformation wasn't THAT much noticeable because he already had it built.
Quedó increíble 😱!!!!!!! Quedó divina 😌🤩🧡🧡🧡
Gracias!
Absolutely killing it with the build Ken and the overhaul, I absolutely love it guys, great great work as always
Thanks Spencer! 🤘🏻
🔥
I wish had the money to build a badass rig like that.
Just sitting on the truck not even opened. IT LOOKS FRIGGEN AWESOME. BAD ASS IS THE WORD
Jesus, I need friends like Mateo. Badass truck overhaul. Ken looks like Leonardo DeCaprio’s big twin.
💪
You guys nailed it. Slowly building and transforming mine into details. Love watching all your videos and see more ideas. 🍺🍺🍺
Hell yeah, we love inspiring you guys 🤙
The UpTop roof and bed racks are so well designed and so easy to install.
Right?🔥
awsome!! just got my 22 trd of and cant wait to start transforming my truck to something like this!!
That’s great!
Can’t wait to see how it turns out!
Ken's truck was already dialed, but you all KILLED it with this build! Bravo fellas!
It’s an amazing transformation.
This turned out to be an awesome build. So happy for you Ken.
Thanks Tom!
Bro love the overhaul with all the accessories look forward to overhauling my truck like that it's the dream. Oh the rig looks totally awesome.

Exactly!
It looks sick! Nice work everybody! I'm jealous...
Thanks 🙏🏻
Great vid nice to see real life issues arise and how they get resolved with these trucks
The build is insane....it's so clean and hope to see more different builds soon ...great job ! 👍 👍
More builds coming soon!
Definitely the most bad ass gen2 out there. Great looking build.

I know Farmingdale when I see it! Sick video
That came out good! Ken's stoked!
Congrats! Looks amazing. Looking forward to modifying my 2nd gen Taco
Quality, aesthetics and durabitlity! Great job!
Uptop and C4 are two companies I have to contact in the near future. The new Alpharex lights are dope too. It’s all about the Taco!
Uptopoverland and C4 have great products. I love their designs.
I’m very impressed with the build. I have a stock 2014 double cab long bed 4x4 sport. You have inspired me to get mine done. Love to have your help.
Glad to be able to help!
Incredible product and production quality. I am curious about how the Tacoma handles the weight of the larger tires, armor, and the accessories.
I regeared my truck a few years ago to help with the larger tire size and weight, that being said it’s not great power.
What a turnaround. Truck looks amazing 👍🏽. UpTop racks engineering and attention to detail is top notch
15 that's not bad at all! looks awesome!
The cinematics at the end are super cool
You guys should definitely be on discovery channel brother, this was just sick bruh
Thanks for your support!
Thanks for watching 🙌
Yeah bruh, so sick to make a truck far too heavy to be legally or safely driven on the road....yeah man!!!!

Yeah man… I got C4 front to back on my 09. Friggin love it.
The engineer from Uptop seems like a legitimately knowledgeable and friendly dude. Considering one their racks over a Prinsu simply because of the impression he left.
Idk why you guys are doing this, its just a rack, what is the big deal.
Wow! I couldn't stop watching the whole video of the transformation of the truck. You guys rock! Do you have a store in California?
We don’t have a physical store yet, so far we usually work in the shops of suppliers we work with 🤙
Happy birthday Ken! That is the nicest second gen build I’ve ever seen.
That is so badass. You guys did an amazing job. When I get my Taco, I would love half that treatment. Congrats Ken. Great job team and everyone who had a part in the build.
