Finished (For Now)!

WORDS & PHOTOS BY DEVAN ENCE

The TREAD Edition Tacoma has reached its final form. The last time we checked in, the truck had just received a fresh wrap, the Body Armor 4x4 HiLine front bumper was installed alongside a WARN winch, and the NYTOP full carbon flares were locked into place.

If you’re just tuning in, here’s a quick recap of everything that’s gone into this project. The first step was dialing in the suspension, wheels, and tires. A Stage 4 kit from ICON Vehicle Dynamics with 2.5 bypass shocks set the foundation, providing the performance needed for both on-road comfort and off-road capability. The truck sits on Dirty Life 9303 DT-117x9 wheels wrapped in Amp Terrain Attack RTs in 275/85R17—a combination that transformed the Tacoma’s handling and overall feel.
