Building your 4th Gen Toyota Tacoma into a trail‑eating beast is all about picking the right mods. From rock‑slaying sliders to lightning‑quick throttle response, each upgrade makes your rig tougher and more capable. Here’s the ultimate parts list and why they’re must‑haves for serious adventures.
Better Suspension
When you’re modding your Tacoma for off-roading, the stock suspension system, while quite capable, delivers only to some extent. There are many ways to upgrade the suspension, but the best is to stick with a reputable brand and do it the right way. With a good suspension kit, you can adjust the damping and match your suspension for trail crawling, desert blasts, or comfortable highway cruising. Some kits come with external reservoirs for consistent performance under hard off-roading. Combine your new suspension kit with front and rear sway bar links that preserve steering feel and stability.
FT’s Pick: King Shocks OEM Performance Shock Kit and front & rear sway bar links (~$4,200). Improves wheel travel dramatically. Larger shock bodies and external reservoirs for increased fluid capacity. Fully rebuildable and serviceable. With the click adjuster, you get 20 precise clicks for damping adjustment.
Beefier Tires and Wheels
Grip is everything where the asphalt ends. The 4th-Gen Tacoma is a more forgiving platform for fitting bigger tires, as it does not require trimming or cutting. You can go big with the 4th gen and fit 35” tires with slight trimming. With many M/T tire options, you get a huge contact patch for traction on varying surfaces, reinforced sidewalls to resist tire damage, and an aggressive tread pattern that ensures maximum grip and self-cleans debris as you roll. Picking wheels and tires largely depends on your budget and personal taste, so do your homework, get the tires that best suit your needs, and get wheels that you think look best on your Taco.
Go Widebody
Don’t let your new 35-inchers throw rocks at your paint. Block the mud, debris, and small rocks and protect your Tacoma’s paint from nicks and scratches.
FT’s Pick: Tacoma Beast Fender Flare Kit (from $650). Pick from matte black FRP, matte carbon fiber, or glossy carbon fiber. Depending on your Tacoma's trim level, the kit adds 1-1.5 inches per corner. Requires no drilling; uses existing OEM bolts and 3M Super Strength Molding Tape.
Custom Front Bumper
A custom/aftermarket front bumper made from thick steel absorbs rock strikes and gives you an improved approach angle to clear challenging obstacles and surfaces.
FT’s Pick: Tacoma Beast Stealth Series Center Mount Winch front bumper (from $1,250). Offers universal mounts for any standard or heavy-duty winch and a 20” lightbar. Made out of high-grade steel and finished with hammer black powder coat. Retains all OEM features of the standard bumper, such as sensors, fog lights, cameras, adaptive cruise control, etc. You can also add a skid plate for enhanced underbody protection.
Recovery Gear
Now fill the universal mount on that bumper with a winch and be unstoppable. Reliability and good recovery skills are non-negotiable when you’re deep in the backcountry.
FT’s Pick: Overland Vehicle Systems SCAR-12 12,000lb Waterproof Winch with Wireless (from $600). You can get it with steel or synthetic cable. Features a 6.5 HP motor that provides 42 feet per minute line speed. It is IP68 rated for waterproofing and made from 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum.
Better Lighting
When dust, mud, or dark skies roll in, factory lighting may leave you blind. You can upgrade your foglights and add auxiliary lighting for the best visibility when you’re out in the remote.
FT’s Pick: Baja Designs OEM foglight replacement ($680) and Baja Designs 20” S8 LED lightbar (from $600). The foglights require no changes as they clip in right where the stock ones are. The 20” lightbar will perfectly fill the universal mount on the Steel Series front bumper.
Protect Your Rocker Panels
Protect your Tacoma’s rocker panels and undercarriage against rock strikes, debris build-up, and off-road hazards. Let a pair of aftermarket rocksliders take all the off-road abuse rather than your Tacoma’s body and paint. Rocksliders provide an extra protection layer between your Tacoma and the obstacles you’ll encounter while off-roading.
FT’s Pick: CBI Offroad Fab bolt-on rocksliders (from $1,000). You can get them in bare metal or black powdercoated. Made from high-grade steel. Perfectly doubles as a step for entering and exiting the vehicle, and acts as a jacking point for lifting your Tacoma when needed.
