2024 TRD OFF-ROAD build - the Olaf

[TacoUser]

Hi All,

i been coming here for a bit and had my Taco since November 2024, but never got around posting anything.

I got a manual TRD off-road that my friends dubbed the Olaf. I agree that there is some resemblance.

I came from driving cars, mostly VAG products, and trucks were not on the radar. However, when starting to shop for a new car, my choices with a manual were limited. I didn't want another VAG product, nor did I want a Jeep. A couple of my friends have Gen 3s... and the rest is history...


This is when I picked it up:

First day:

Went off-roading pretty much the next week:

First mod, replaced the knob with Forge Big Knob:

(this is the 3rd car that I have it installed).

Had some fun with the black letters:

Then installed Cali raised sliders:

More off-roading:

I didn't know what I was doing, and got stuck in mud:

That little adventure prompted me to get EKR seat covers, because mud got everywhere:

And finally installed AWE Exhaust:

That's it so far

Future plans include better tires, bash plates, light bars and a roof rack.

Love the pics, and yeah, those stock tires won't get too far in the mud.
