I think the look is awesome. Checked out Nytop's page to investigate and was utterly shocked at the $1000USD price of some chunks of 5/8 plate and some slightly bent and painted 3/16 sheet steel. No thanks. Not at that price. I can get an entire powder coated bumper with recovery points for less and it wont be rusted out in a month from rock chips.
Axle dump exhaust, oh I'm excited for that. Your taco is coming together nicely, my TRD OR premium just started production and I'm hoping to have by the end of the month or early May.
Looks killer Mark! 🔥 I too have underground, am wondering if I could just mount the nytop red recovery hooks in the lower stock front bumper? Would they fit? Thanks
Marc the truck looks great I just think the headlights need something more I was wondering is it possible to put the 2025 4 runner headlights in the Tacoma is that possible yes
Hey man, I have the same truck, looking to add a roof rack similar to yours. Which brand is that? Also did you notice a large amount of added wind noise?
Truck looks great Mark. Does it seem like you could pop off that NYTOP tag on the bumper without scratching it up too badly? I like the bumper but not a fan of their badge
i generally like nytop but their fit and finish to price is severely lacking BUT they did do me right me right when I reached out to them. installing the hybrid bumper and hooks for the tundra was a massive pain in the ass because holes just didn't perfectly line up and ended up drilling out nuts in the frame because the hook wasn't perfectly made. the powder coat had blemshes in it. oh and I had to really fight getting the upper plastic on the tundra to sit on top of the hybrid bumper so it sits back all the way. (side note by this time the powdercoat is very scuffed up because you know very heavy bumper that you're fighting it sit in place trying to add spacers and everything) when its all said and done I got it on and it looks great now and can live with the little details that nobody else is going to notice. also if you live in a state where you need a front license plate they didn't give any advice or hardware to remady a plate braket. i drilled holes in the THICK steel plate bumper and some self tapping screws for the factory plastic license braket. the rear hooks were great but my left hook wasn't bent properly so it points inward about a degree or 2. side note tho I was one of the first people to order from them. so wether or not if their QC got any better is beyond me.
The stock points under the front bumper are transport tie downs. They aren't rated for or should be used for recovery. In reality I know they will be used for recovery but that isn't their purpose.
Owner's manual on page 565 refers to them as emergency towing eyelets. They are not "transport tie downs." It even says you can tow the vehicle using cables or chains for up to 50 miles keeping speed below 18 MPH.
So, you spent nearly 50K on the new Taco, and you have to add recovery points because the factory recovery points are some flimsy things buried half way under the truck? Wow. And what's up with the plastic 'skid plate?' 😂 Are you replacing that too? I saw another reviewer complaining about the faux spare tire. Toyota couldn't put a real spare tire on a truck that will go off road? Wow. I've also read that when you reach your destination, you have to let the engine idle for a minute to let the turbo cool down on that wee 'lil 4-banger. That would get old real fast. And with that big iPad looking thing sticking up from that dash, do you pretend you're driving a Tesla? 😂 Dude, you should have bought a Frontier and saved all the hassle of doing what you're doing.
Yes , I agree with you Mark , clean , simple , proper ! Your Tacoma is SIC !
Thank u!

Some with a Turbo version should do a bigger intercooler, downpipe & HKS Blow Off Valve on this gen Taco for a badass sound & more power!
I love watching your videos, because I have the exact same truck. It gives me a way to visualize it before I spend the money! Thank you for that.
Axle dump exhaust, oh I'm excited for that. Your taco is coming together nicely, my TRD OR premium just started production and I'm hoping to have by the end of the month or early May.
Exciting stuff!!
Very tasteful addition. thanks for sharing :)
Dude hell yeah..keep your truck don’t listen to no mfks that TACO is nice 😁👍🏾
🤘
Love the clean & tight look it offers
Right!
For us non UA-camrs, can’t even find weather mats for my 24 Tacoma. Biggest Toyota BS is having to pay subscriptions to keep remote access.
Simple and easy install, looks great
that's clean dude, great video🔥🔥🔥
That’s been the best mod I’ve seen out there. Well done I like that one, it looks clean.👍
Beautiful truck !
Great video and great looking truck.
Thanks a lot 🔥
Your truck looks awesome!
Awesome look!!😎
Preciate it!!
Really Slick! Love it.
Your Taco looks clean af man! Real nice!
Thanks a lot!
Very Nice Bumper Mark 👍🏼
I appreciate it!
Love your videos. Have the same color truck.
That’s awesome!
I would have got black bolts,washers and and nuts for the rear recover.
Looks killer Mark! 🔥 I too have underground, am wondering if I could just mount the nytop red recovery hooks in the lower stock front bumper? Would they fit? Thanks
Just got my sr5 long bed underground exited to build mine love how the build is coming along mark !!
That’s legit! Long beds look so good
Love your videos, I live in Canada and I just got a trd Sport would this recovery hooks and bumper fit on it?
Thanks
Jc
This looks good
truck looks good
The truck looks badass!!!!! Except I'm not a big fan of the roof rack.. but my opinion doesn't matter haha... keep doing your thing Mark
Appreciate you bro!
I would use the same wrap at the cyber truck used and it looks like a spaceship. I think it was from the diesel brothers.
Very nice..
New Toyota trucks are so cool mann (Land Crusier, Gx, 4runner, Tacoma)
I would personally love to see the mate blue wrap!
You and me both! Still waiting for that color to restock 🤞
Tire size and wheel offset ? Lift height and type ? Thanks, great looking truck, not sick, looks real healthy to me.
what trim is your tacoma? Mine is a off road but I didnt get the f/r sensors, jbl sound system, heated steering wheel or trailer brake controller.
Marc the truck looks great I just think the headlights need something more I was wondering is it possible to put the 2025 4 runner headlights in the Tacoma is that possible yes
Sheeeeeshhhhh🔥🔥🔥 Looks SOOOOOO Good!!!!
I appreciate it!!
What running boards are those?
What size lift you got on there
Brother please share whats the set up of your wheels e.g. size tire and rims lift? Brand
Is that a lift or does the ass end squat a bit?
Hello, I see that you put black vinyl on the roof of the Tacoma, it looks very good, is it gloss black or satin black?
Gloss black
@@MarkBrenner thank you
What Tacoma model, is that you have?
I was wondering if these new Tacos had factory recovery hooks since the Tundras do not.
Hey man, I have the same truck, looking to add a roof rack similar to yours. Which brand is that? Also did you notice a large amount of added wind noise?
Its a Westcott designs rack. no wind noise at all. If its there I just haven’t noticed it
What happened to your exhaust ?
Truck looks great Mark. Does it seem like you could pop off that NYTOP tag on the bumper without scratching it up too badly? I like the bumper but not a fan of their badge
Thanks a lot. I have to assume it’s just held on by adhesive
Don't these have a problem with rusting?
Hey did you have to recalibrate the front sensors since you took off the grill?
No I disconnected the battery when unplugging those harnesses to avoid any issues with having to recalibrate
i generally like nytop but their fit and finish to price is severely lacking BUT they did do me right me right when I reached out to them.

Dude its cool looking but that thing even with the mods shouldn't be over 45K. Period
Agree. Saw a TRD Sport for 52k!! 😮
In your face! TRD JON.
Nice mod!💯
Link to the parts?
Can you add a dash cam on your Tacoma 24
Tire and wheel setup? And what is the offset?
35x12.5x17
+25 offset on wheels
@@MarkBrenner is that on stock height ?
❤❤
Higher lift please???? Lol would you ever consider it? I'm not saying 12in lift. But 6 in lift maybe???
Do the blue !!!!!!!!!!
I looked up the parts you installed ...very expensive for what you get !
Heck yeah!!! Il buy a lil truck for a price of a full size and then spend extra for recovery points while i wait for my engine to fail
what is the tire size?
35”

With the price if gas and hyperinflation economics. I am selling my cars
U need to clean the Engine bay out
PUT ON NEW DUAL EXHAUST TIPS FOR CHRIST SAKE 😅
kinda looks like a silverado the recovery points
With the price toyota is asking for that truck they should put at least decent recovery points? That is bs what toyota put in there
Oh yeah no this thing modified the way it is is worth 45K max
Those red things are cute lol
Cheeyeaa dawg werd uppp…. The king of Temecula in the hizzy
Looked great till I saw that hideous branding lol…and it’s not even straight. I hope they paid you for this
No I was not paid although this is a pre production model so I’m helping with some final fitment tweaks
It looks like just a slap on badge, I bet you can remove it
