Big thanks to YotaTribe for sending over their Apex PO series grill for my Tacoma. I went with the version without the raptor lights because I wanted a cleaner and more aggressive frontend look. The design fits the truck really well and completely changes the front appearance. Install was pretty straightforward and the quality of the grill is solid. Really happy with how the truck looks now it definitely gives the Tacoma a much more bold and modern front end. Install thoughts: Pretty straightforward install Everything lined up well Took roughly 30–45 minutes Would love to hear what you guys think about the Apex grill vs the stock grill 👀

The Taco finally got some serious beef.

Huge thanks to MastertrackTires for the opportunity to test their new Badlands R/T in 35x12.5 on my truck.

For those who might not be familiar, MastertrackTires has been growing a lot in the off-road scene and they’re known for building tires that balance aggressive off-road capability with solid on-road comfort. The Badlands R/T is designed as a hybrid tire sitting right between a traditional All-Terrain and Mud-Terrain, which should make it great for trails while still being very drivable on the street.

New tire setup:
MastertrackTires Badlands R/T 35x12.5, mounted on my Lock Off-Road wheels 17x9 Krawler Machine Face Polish
First impressions so far:

The truck immediately looks much more aggressive
The wider footprint gives it a much stronger stance
The tread design looks perfect for mixed terrain rocks, dirt, and sand

I’m really excited to test these 35s on the trail, especially now that the truck is running King 2.5 suspension with Mazulla UCAs.

Big thanks again to Mastertrack Tires for the support and the opportunity to run these on the Tacoma.

Trail testing coming soon
