April 29, 2026

One of our recent guides compared two popular mid-size trucks. Take a closer look at one of them, the iconic Toyota Tacoma – and see how it’s upgraded at Krietz Customs.

With aftermarket upgrades, the Toyota Tacoma brings a combination of practicality and bold power to the table. With smaller wheels and larger tires, Krietz Customs Tacomas are designed with optimal off-road performance in mind.

While 35″ tires and 18″ wheels won’t fit a stock or leveled Tacoma, a 3″ ReadyLift suspension kit creates enough space for the larger tires to fit. The elevated setup is ideal for many off-road situations. Minor trimming of the felt liner is also required in order to fit the aftermarket wheels and tires.

While these upgrades make for a more aggressive stance, the Tacoma is still well-suited for everyday driving. The 3″ Lift Kit is supplemented by upper control arms and spacers, making room for tires while also bolstering ride quality.

Katzkin Leather seats are a perfect finishing touch to any custom build. View stitching, color and embroidery options below!

OVERLAND TACOMAS

If you’re looking for a high-performance Tacoma that specializes in off-road use, look no further than the overland build. Higher trim levels such as the Trailhunter and TRD Pro are outfitted with upgrades such as awnings and heavy-duty suspension, making for a workhorse Tacoma that can tackle most extreme off-road scenarios.

Proper research and installation is essential when making the heavy modifications required to complete an overland build. Questions? Reach out to one of our Build Specialists!
