How much money does it cost to make your Tacoma look like this? Wow. That's amazing. Let's break down the cost. Starting with the front bumper made by Brody Wodey. And I have a Smittybilt 9.5 winch in there with some Baja best twos. That cost me $2,350 Morimoto headlights, 1,600. So I do have a TRD Off Good and I upgraded the good. That cost me 1,700. Baja Squadrons, $2.50. CBI rank sliders, 1,000. Alpharex taillights, 700. Rad Designs third brake light with two Baja yes two's, 800. Outgear Solutions Sandstorm better with two s two's, $1,452.09 re gear, 2,500. So I have the entire archive kit back here with the hangers, leaf springs, bump stops, shock relocation, and Kings, 12 inch smoothies, 4,400. Scorch fabrication, rear rank front liners, 1,170. So we got Nitto Trail Grapplers, 2,400. With the Raceline Rhinos, 2,300. And for the final part, the All Pro MLT with everything you see worst me 17,300. Alright. And now to add everything up. So my total for the entire breakdown of my truck exterior comes out to $41,970. Jeez. No if you ask me, is it worth it? It just depends on what makes you happy. Am I using my truck right now for what I put into it? Probably not. Am I happy? Yes. If I could give some good advice to any of you out there trying to build your Tacoma. Just try to make sure you buy things once and take it from me. Try to make sure that's the part you really want. Because the price I told you is not what I dumped into my truck. I probably lost thousands of dollars buying stuff, selling it. So try to buy once, do your research, and just be happy with what you buy. So that's basically it. If you want your truck to look like mine, that's what it's gonna cost. Peace out. See you in the next one.
