@@Enough_Tumbleweed There’s always someone willing to pay. It would be painted by robots anyway and wouldn’t be a huge difference if already financing.
Removing that top and going with either a fiberglass topper wrapped to match which would be period correct for that truck or nothing at all would be the first thing I'd do to that truck if I won it in the auction. That soft topper would be in the trash.
Im glad you chose Relentless for this build. I believe it doesnt get any better than that. Both my nephew and I have had cars totalled themselves on your rear bumpers and the powdercoat being scraped was the only damage to our rigs. Great job man! The Ironman Steward theme makes that Toyota stand out for what it is, a beast!
The truck looks amazing I love it and soft topper looks even better with the wrap. Bumpers look great although very expensive and the tires are going to finish the look! I'd add rock sliders too to finalize it and give it some more side protection. What a cool little truck.
My 98 2.7 5spd 4x4 ext cab burned a valve at 130k miles . Got it fixed by a reputable Toyota mechanic locally but it just never ran the same so I ended up selling it. I just picked up a 2011 single cab 5spd 4x4 with the 2TRFE with 213k miles and it’s been well maintained and runs strong . Hoping this Engine lasts for many more miles
I know they are getting advertising via the video, but it is still really rad that those guys donated time and/or parts to the charity project. It looks great!
That little truck is just becoming so bad ass. Great job so far! Rear locker please, maybe limited slip in the front to compliment it. Hint, hint, like a bunch of us haven't said it already.
If I can only find a Tacoma In that condition here in the Southern part of Canada. Unfortunately, All rusted out and finding one is like finding a unicorn lol. Beautiful transformation, beautiful truck, for a beautiful cause. Subscribed!
Truck looks awesome! The black rims look soooo much better. The brown topper and the white reminds me of the desert here in Western CO. Personally, I would have done shades of blue stripes with the silver paint to save some money and avoid issues with the nose bubbling during the winter, but... it’s not my project :)
Very awesome. I got the 2021 Taco and im saving up to do a wrap on it. Very awesome. I liked everything except the back bumper, didnt like the design on that one, but the front one and the wheels, nice setup.
I've always wanted a gen 1 taco but never made the jump because finding 4x4 was hard and any that were, were just WAY to overpriced. Wish I could make a jab at this one! But 4 doors is more my style. BUT I can't say this doesn't make me want one again... and I'm loving what y'all have done!
Looks amazing! Had a white 2002 Prerunner TRD Xtracab and I would totally have those stripes added to it if I still had the truck. I know y'all spent a ton fixing the engine, so wheels probably aren't in the budget, but some bronze or magnesium colored wheels would accent the tan soft topper really well. That should be a must-do for whoever buys this truck. I know there was some lament for getting the tan topper, but it really creates a great styling opportunity with new wheels.
The truck looks great, I really enjoy the charity builds, I hope this one does really well. Gun smoke went beyond my budget and this one may also, but I plan on bidding anyway, keep up the good work, I hope y’all do more builds in the future!
Bravo, you are killing it on this build! Would love to see more on building the bed platform. Also just ordered my softopper based on your review, I let them know I saw their product in your Baby Yoda series. Keep up the great work!!!
Cool truck. Id feel like a dork driving it around with that wrap on it though. This "budget build" series turned into a bunch of advertisements for sponsors. Kudos on raising some donantion funds though.
I agree. Wrap it white and extend the bed stripes to match and the back red with the yellow stripe extended. Would look perfectly built into the truck and would be much more useful
You guys should do a towing test, that inline 6 f100 vs the toyota vs a 5.0 windsor/chevy305 and show what it means to have all your power off idle vs having your power up high, then if you build your f100s 300 up with good flowing head 4 barrel carb nice cam, do the tow test and a race it'll really shock you how crazy that i6 gets with a proper flowing head and good exhaust and intake setup, my 84 smokes some v8s and shes a 300 i6 with the t18
That is one awesome-looking truck. This series is great!
Unique and done right, not over-the-top. Cool project, guys!
Toyota should sell a special edition Tacoma TRD pro with this design on it.
@@Enough_Tumbleweed There’s always someone willing to pay. It would be painted by robots anyway and wouldn’t be a huge difference if already financing.
I agree, now that would be cool.
Guys.... you nailed it. As a guy into cars back when Iron Man was rocking it, this made my day.
It looks great and I love that it’s for a good cause. The soft top though... Brown just doesn’t do the truck right.
I bet whoever gets this truck is going to get rid of that topper immediately lol
I really love the front end of this Tacoma. Simple yet beautiful.
This is the best wrap I've seen on TH-cam. It gives me that great 80s vibe.
So Rad! As a wrapper myself it was nice to see you guys do a good job of showing the process and Shane nailed it!
The Brown softtop....🤐 otherwhise great project lads.
The tan softtop looks better with the white wrap, though.
The tan top looked pretty good with the plain white truck. On the new wrap it definitely should be black
Removing that top and going with either a fiberglass topper wrapped to match which would be period correct for that truck or nothing at all would be the first thing I'd do to that truck if I won it in the auction. That soft topper would be in the trash.
Just wait until it's a few years old, then they really look like shirt.
Agreed. Such great work on the vinyl and bumpers and then diminished with the soft top; (any colour).
Relentless Fab really does make some super nice armor.
So happy to hear the tires are getting swapped out. I think that will really complete the look and the off-road-ability to the truck!
The truck looks great However I'm not a fan of the bed cover
It looks terrific! But...I like the utility of the cover over the bed, just would prefer it was black and not tan.
Im glad you chose Relentless for this build. I believe it doesnt get any better than that. Both my nephew and I have had cars totalled themselves on your rear bumpers and the powdercoat being scraped was the only damage to our rigs.

Shane from Innovation Installations did an AWESOME job! Great craftsman who you can really tell loves his work. Love to see it.
WOW, bit by bit, engine work, tries, vinyl wrap, and bumper/winch, turning baby yoda into an outstanding truck.
I love that old Toyota trophy truck thanx for designing baby yota like it
These philanthropic series of builds you do are my favorite part of TFL.
Am I the only one who really likes the soft top?
I like it too
It would grow on me if it were white, idk if theres a way to somehow spraypaint it.
Yes you and TFL are the only ones with zero taste.
I’m with you. I actually think the tan soft topper looks just right. Black would be too much. It really only matters what the bidders think anyway.
I like it with the white.
Relentless Fab has some of the best looking bumpers for the Toyotas.
Case reminds me of one of my boys I wrench with he the real one at Tfl
Glad younger guys are still picking up wrenches
Beautiful 🤩. Just need to polish those headlights
Great looking truck! Now all it needs is some KO2’s and the look would be completed.
I always wondered how they wrapped vehicles and now I know! Great video TFL! The results are fantastic!
Shane really transformed that truck. Nice job! Cool bumpers too. That topper....wish it was black...but understand you work with what you got
I've had pretty much this exact setup on my frontier, minus the wrap. Including the soft topper! Love it!

What an amazing transformation! This has turned into an amazing series and it's all for an amazing cause. Well done TFL.
Friggin awesome! I've added little accents and badges on my 4Runner using the retro Iron Man color scheme too. Looks great!
I know they are getting advertising via the video, but it is still really rad that those guys donated time and/or parts to the charity project. It looks great!
Looks significantly better. Very nice choices in upgrades to this point.
That little truck is just becoming so bad ass. Great job so far! Rear locker please, maybe limited slip in the front to compliment it. Hint, hint, like a bunch of us haven't said it already.
When I first saw the colour change, I thought, hmmmm...but now? It is really cool! The bumpers, grill and winch really set it off. Good job!
That little Toyota turned out nice! Great job fellows!
Great job..I’m blown away by how clean/ rust free that truck is..
It has a new frame. Rust isn't always just on sheet metal, sometimes it's on hard parts too.
If I can only find a Tacoma In that condition here in the Southern part of Canada. Unfortunately, All rusted out and finding one is like finding a unicorn lol. Beautiful transformation, beautiful truck, for a beautiful cause. Subscribed!
That wrap looks so good!
The truck looks great, the vintage look suits the truck well. I have a Relentless Fab rear swingarm bumper on my Zr2, it's a tank of a bumper.
Love the truck, love to see it in my driveway as well
I have to admit, you guys nailed it!
Looked great, until the soft top came on :/
Yeah I think a black colored one would "fit" the look better
I need those bumpers for my first gen 4 door. Love that wrap.
Truck looks awesome! The black rims look soooo much better. The brown topper and the white reminds me of the desert here in Western CO.
Personally, I would have done shades of blue stripes with the silver paint to save some money and avoid issues with the nose bubbling during the winter, but... it’s not my project :)
Wow! That looks Terrific! Beautiful Idea and Work! Just Fantastic!
Wrap looks great. Love the classic Toyota racing look
Baby yota looks killer guys now just time for some mud terrains
Very awesome. I got the 2021 Taco and im saving up to do a wrap on it. Very awesome. I liked everything except the back bumper, didnt like the design on that one, but the front one and the wheels, nice setup.

The wrap job looks so flawless!
Wow the wrap looks amazing, very clean & not over the top!

You guys did a hell of a job on this truck, and for a good cause to boot 👍
WOW.. that looks great! That wrap job is top-notch.
It looks great. Toyota should make that paint scheme a factory option
A snorkel will look very nice on this Tacoma 👌🏻
You guys knocked it out of the park on this one. Its looks awesome! Great job. 👍👍
The bumpers are fantastic. $3k is worth it for the look and function.
Colors look great and the bumpers go with it nicely
Man this thing is beautiful
Well done boys
love the truck before but with that wrap it looks so damn awasome love it! to bad we dont get tacoma in Sweden
That bed cover🤦. BTW great job guys
When you gonna put some off road tires?
He addressed this at the very end.
As soon as someone offers them some free ones
The truck looks great, I really enjoy the charity builds, I hope this one does really well. Gun smoke went beyond my budget and this one may also, but I plan on bidding anyway, keep up the good work, I hope y’all do more builds in the future!
I challenge Shane to an arm wrestle. He wins I give him the soft top. I win, I buy the truck and leave him the soft top.
Might be the best looking baby toy in the country. Not exaggerating.
there's one I've seen in denver with the same wrap. looks awesome guys!
This truck turned out fantastic !
Love the wrap so much!!! This truck turned out SWEEET!!
Almost done... Just need those AT tires looking great
man, that's a beautiful bumper. I wish it was cheaper!! even a new ARB bumper for those model years is only $900
It's all coming together nicely! Next project truck: K5 Blazer!
All the people offering free stuff for charity...well hats off to them👍
Solid dude, literally and figuratively.
Bravo, you are killing it on this build! Would love to see more on building the bed platform. Also just ordered my softopper based on your review, I let them know I saw their product in your Baby Yoda series. Keep up the great work!!!
Thank you! Hope you enjoy it
How do you get to your free spool/engage handle on the winch? Looks like no space to turn it
the truck looks BAD ASS N.I.C.E
Very cool design and those bumpers are awesome!
That thing looks like a million bucks! 🤯🤯🤯🤯😍😍😍
Love it, I know you are going to rise lots of bucks with this one, great job!
Love this series. Well done fellas
Nice work! Someone is going to end up with a perfect Tacoma resto
Great series! it’s coming along very well... keep it up 🤙🏽 ... cheers from SoCaL 🍻
Great looking rig. Wish I had the money to just buy one and transform it immediately. Its taking years to build mine.
Liking the build
Cool truck.
Id feel like a dork driving it around with that wrap on it though.
This "budget build" series turned into a bunch of advertisements for sponsors.
Kudos on raising some donantion funds though.
"Ironman" Maybe the coolest nickname ever !
That and "The Intimidator"
You guys were not kidding when you said the Tacoma was going through a transformation today lol.
That thing is beautiful. Well done. 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Love it. One of your best series!
Love this series where you fix up an affordable vehicle
I think a roll bar instead of the cloth camper would really complete the look here.
Awesome work! Love the color scheme! 🤙🏽
Absolutely awesome gentleman! You nailed it big time!
The truck looks great. Well done TFL 👍
Very cool, including the bumpers but I would only use aluminum bumpers on a 4cyl...there are a couple out there.
Love the retro graphics!
Should of done a fiberglass topper and have it wrapped to match instead of that garbage that's on there now.
I agree. Wrap it white and extend the bed stripes to match and the back red with the yellow stripe extended. Would look perfectly built into the truck and would be much more useful
