Lifted 2021 Toyota Tacoma Build

In the first installment of “The Build Up”, follow Gaston through the reimagining of a bone-stock-fresh-off-the-lot 2021 Toyota Tacoma, as he transforms it into a head-turning multifunctional rig, capable of handling whatever is thrown at it. Adding Rough Country’s 3.5 Vertex lift kit, fresh new aggressive wheels, and hybrid tires, as well as additional interior and exterior accessories, take this Taco from a "stock car" to a "rock star."

It’s crazy how much a set of wheels and a lift change the appearance. Hence why it’s smarter to just buy a base model and build it up

That’s a gorgeous build without going over the top. Looks like a top end factory offering! The bumper is very impressive.

I’m gonna bust my a** to get a Tacoma. Looks. Reliability. No other midsize truck really does it for me. To each their own of course… would be cool to see a boosted Tacoma in the future.

After owning a Tacoma SR5 for 20 years ( I bought it in 1992) I finally sold it and got me a 2023 Tacoma SR access cab a month ago. I’m really excited and your video inspired me to do some mods to it. Great video, sir!

Definitely interested in that bumper. Hopefully ya'll release it soon. Glad to see that us Taco guys are finally getting some RC love!

Damn. Rough country is changing the game for the Tacoma fans! Specially the price! So proud of you guys. !!!

Im happy to watch people build up a bonestock version instead of swapping out a very expensive version.

I have the UCA’s, N3 struts w/coils, and N3 rear shocks. It’s actually an amazing budget package, it replaced my Bilstein 5100’s, the ride is much better IMHO.

2008 Tacoma. 140k miles, I am shocked by how such a budget 3” hit way above its weight class. Thanks RC.

I did the 3” RC coil over kit on my 2016 OR. Paired with new UCAs. Perfect. Fits 285s like a glove.

This build is more capable and looks better then these other Tacoma running super high end stuff leaving them broke lol
Nice work RC

The flashing effects killed this video.

[chewy]

I would give anything to do this to my 21 tacoma. Sure looks good. Nice job guys!

[ceemiselrooy]

Bought those seat covers and they are worth every penny

[refsa]

Hey the up grades were great 👍 not only does it look better but it just looks like you're ready and confident in going off road.

[hilllifehomestead]

I'm glad someone for their seat covers. Ordered a set June 6th. Still waiting!

[ashcat]

Thank you for the detailed explanation and especially tires and off sets.
