***SOLD*** Meet “Neely,” built steely and super clean. Designed and done with my own brain and hands. I am a professionally licensed mechanical engineer.
Neely is ready for work and play, on and off road. This 2017 TRD Off Road includes a locking rear diff and Toyota’s flagship Crawl Control and Multi-Terrain Select technologies. She is outfitted with a GoFastCamper on 6 foot bed, providing tons of room for securely storing your tools and toys. In the engine bay, a dual batteries setup with smart isolation is ready to help keep your cool pops frozen, re-charge your cameras, and brighten up your evening camp. Connect to the house battery in both the cab and the camper. Enjoy the comforts of heated seats, keyless entry, push button start, defrosting side mirrors, built in navigation, and auto lock tailgate. Enjoy the safety of blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, and back up sensors.
I have added a bit of extra steel while keeping the total vehicle weight below 4900 lbs: aftermarket skid plates protecting the front and transmission, front bumper with hidden Warn winch and bull bar, extended length stainless brake hoses, adjustable UCAs, higher payload leaf springs. Many more upgrades… a complete list is included below.
I bought her brand new when I had just finished my doctorate in Tennessee and was making a new start at Western dreams in Utah. I have taken excellent care of this rig, both mechanically and aesthetically! Garage parked for 5 years, driveway parked for the past one year. For 5 years I had rock sliders with filler plates protecting the rockers, so the body paint is also in excellent condition from the filler plates catching the gravel and dirt. Rock sliders not included (already sold).
Located in Salt Lake City.
$41,000 Or Best Offer.
Selling because the family is growing from 3 to 4. Open to trades for a 4 door truck without a GFC, ideally a newer GM half ton EcoTec V8.
TL/DR
There is also the DC to AC inverter 400W that many TRD Tacomas come with from the factory. I have used that to grind coffee beans and to make fresh pesto sauce.
