Blending Style and Strength:
There’s something special about seeing a well-built Tacoma come together—the perfect blend of performance, reliability, and personal style. Whether it’s crawling through technical trails or loading up for a weekend out of town, the right upgrades can transform a truck into the ultimate go-anywhere setup. Jack Clelland’s 2017 TRD Pro is a great example of that balance. Built with care and intention, this truck is loaded with parts that don’t just look good—they’re built to perform
Jack’s suspension setup is dialed with Fox 2.5 IFP coilovers up front, TRD Pro piggyback shocks in the rear, and control arms from Dirt King Fabrication. He’s even ditched the sway bar for better articulation on the trail. That performance carries through to the wheels and tires, with 17x9 SSW Offroad Dakars wrapped in 33” BFGoodrich KM3s for the kind of grip you want when the road disappears.
Jack’s running a Baja Designs XL Sport Linkable Light Bar with two clear combo lenses and two wide cornering amber lenses—solid coverage for any conditions. He also added amber Squadron Sport fog lights for extra visibility in low light or dusty trails. It’s a clean, functional setup that gets the job done.
The newest addition to Jack’s build is the Softopper® , a rugged and versatile bed cover that fits his needs for both protection and flexibility. It keeps his gear covered and secure in all kinds of weather, whether he’s heading into the mountains or hauling equipment around town. The heavy-duty canvas and durable frame are built to handle rough conditions without adding unnecessary weight to the truck. It’s a clean, practical solution that matches the look and performance of the rest of his build.
To take things even further, Jack added the all-new Softopper® EXO Truck Bed Rack. Designed specifically to pair with the Softopper®, the Exo Truck Bed Rack gives him the ability to carry even more gear without giving up bed coverage. It's perfect for mounting recovery boards, fuel cans, or a rooftop tent—all with a strong, stable platform that doesn't get in the way. Easy to install and built to work seamlessly with the Softopper®, the Exo Truck Bed Rack adds serious versatility to Jack’s setup—without sacrificing full bed access or Softopper function.
