Unfortunately the time has come to sell my dream truck. Life happens and priorities change. Below I have listed all of the mods done that I can think of. The prices listed are the parts only and do not include shipping and labor to install. This is an extensive build with the purpose of efficient and reliable overlanding. With the tune this truck gets 30mpg going 65 on the highway. City mileage is around 24mpg.
82k miles currently
The Z71 Package includes a powerful BOSE Sound System, Limited Slip Rear Differential, Heated Front Seats, Remote Start and Carplay. This is the most comfortable truck I have ridden in, and it blows Tacomas out of the water.
The truck is set up for overlanding and camping. The Decked Drawers serve as a sleeping platform, and I have a 3” tri-fold memory foam mattress I can include that fits perfectly. It sleeps tight, but works well. Alternatively, the canopy is ready to have a roof tent mounted on it, and the ARE Overland series is designed to hold more weight for this purpose.
Everyone drives Tacomas. The problem with those is, once you load them down they are severely underpowered. Gas mileage on a lifted Tacoma is around 15mpg. If you want to make the reliability argument, look into the 2.8L Duramax motor. The delete and Provent Catch Can solve the common issues, and make for a reliable workhorse.
I changed the transmission fluid with Mobil 1 Full Synthetic less than 5k miles ago. The oil and filter have been changed on time, every time with full synthetic. The Provent filter and Fuel filters have also been changed every other oil change.
There is a scratch on the front right side of the bumper that happened while installing the bumper. There is also a slight ding on the rear tailgate. There are minor imperfections here and there that you might be able to find up close, but the truck has the factory paint and has never in an accident or repaired.
Overall, there is over $16000 in upgrades, not including the shipping or labor to install.

Shibby Tuner Harness Plug Kit ($150)
Total- $16289
I also have an extra Provent filter and oil filter to throw in. I might have fuel filters too. I only ran OEM grade filters on this.
The only cons I can think of are the marks mentioned above, and the exhaust ever so slightly touches the crossmember occasionally and rattles. An exhaust shop could easily mend this.
Turbo doesn’t have any play or bent/ chipped fins. Bike rack is not included.
I am asking $39000 for everything. If you do not like the price, that is okay. This truck definitely is not for everyone, and I understand. I do not need to sell it, it would just be fiscally responsible at this point. I have the clean title in hand and ready for the next owner. If you would like to schedule a time to come look at it call or text me. Please do not contact me if you do not have the funds.
I am having a hard time uploading pictures but will fix it this evening. Here is the craigslist ad with photos.
