🛻 Build It Right: Top Off-Road Upgrades for Your 2016–2023 Toyota Tacoma
Whether you’re looking to tackle Arizona trails, hit weekend overland routes, or just want a better stance and ride for daily driving, the 2016–2023 Toyota Tacoma is one of the most capable and customizable platforms on the road. At Underdog Motorsports, we’ve worked on hundreds of Tacomas and know exactly what upgrades will help you take your truck to the next level—without compromising reliability or comfort.
🔧 Suspension & Lift Kits
Let’s start where every good build begins: suspension. A 2.5–3” lift is ideal for most Tacoma owners looking to run 33” tires without major trimming. We recommend trusted brands like Bilstein 6112/5160, Icon, Fox 2.5, and Old Man Emu. Whether you're going mid-travel or just want to level out factory rake, we’ll help you dial in the perfect ride quality and height.
🛞 Wheels & Tires
Next, upgrade your stance and grip. Pairing 16" or 17" wheels with 285/70R17 or similar tires gives your Tacoma both improved traction and a bold look. We carry top brands like Method Race Wheels, Black Rhino, and Dirty Life, along with tires like Falken Wildpeak, Toyo Open Country, and Nitto Ridge Grapplers.
🔦 Lighting Upgrades
Arizona trails don’t stop when the sun goes down. Equip your truck with Baja Designs, Diode Dynamics, or XK Glow lighting for powerful, reliable visibility. From ditch lights to amber fogs, we’ve got you covered.
🛡️ Armor & Protection
Protect your investment with skid plates, rock sliders, and bumpers from brands like RCI, CBI, and Cali Raised. We install everything in-house and can customize for recovery gear like winches and rear tire carriers.
