Just Bought 2012 Double Cab Long Bed TRD Sport

You can always do a feeler in Buy/Sell/Trade

 

if you played it right you could get an OME 3'' suspension lift and keep your rims and get new bigger tires put on without going over. To stay in your price range you would probably have to do the lift yourself but most of us on here like to do the work ourselves. Wait on exhaust and intake until another payday.

 

I would also have to recommend wet okole seat covers and either the husky or weathertech floor liners first. You may even be able to throw in a 3" lift in there, all depends what brand you choose and whether or not you install it yourself.

 

Man, this forum is way more active than my MTB forum. Thanks for all the replies.

I'm going to do the OME 3 inch sus lift myself at a buddy's garage. I'll also be looking at the largest tire options for my current rims. anyone know if 33's will fit the 2012 17 inch rim? I'll do a search now too.

Those relentless fab bumpers look frackin sweet! Anything similar but more mass produced for a cheaper price?

 

Congrads on the truck bro...

I am running 33's on my truck and had to also do wheel spacers (go with Spidertrax -- they are a rock solid product). You'll also probably have to do some trimming of plastic on the inner fender and the most likely the fender flare. Don't worry...it's only plastic...it'll grow back!

 

First thing I did with my 2012 DCLB TRD Sport was put a tonneau cover on. The earlier you do it, the faster you keep it from getting gross back there!
Here is my Truxport Truxedo.

FY!

 

Why is

$544 Pro Comp 3" Lift Kit with Front ES6000 and Rear ES9000 Shocks - K5075B

http://www.4wheelparts.com/Lift-Kit...c=1&t_s=38&t_pt=5491&t_pl=1808&t_pn=EXPK5075B

so much cheaper than the OME sus lift listed on Toytec for 760 or so?

Is it because the OME sus lift appears to come with all that extra hardware?

 

You get what you pay for...No point in buying cheap armor

 

OP- I just bought a OEM bed mat for less than $100. from www.toyotapartscheap.com Great service and shipping-Highly recomend this company. I originally ordered from www.toyotapartszone.com and DO NOT recommend them to anyone!!! They raise the price after you place an order and call you wanting more $$. Anyway, Welcome to TW

 

congrats, mods to do in no particular order:

-Lift Kit
-Trim/Remove Mudflaps
-Weather Tech Floor Liners
-Wet Okole Seat Covers
-Rocky Mountain Through Axle bed rail fork mounts ( I have these in my tacoma and they work great )

-Tires/Wheels later on
-Bed Mat

should suit your needs, I MTB every weekend. The only thing I'm missing is the seat covers, but lucky for me it's been fairly dry so my seats haven't gotten too dirty yet.

 

Nice! I'd get a lift kit for the Tacoma!

 

I sold my tires within a week locally on Craigslist (tires off of my 2012 DC LB Sport).

 

One comment on the bed rail fork mounts: I have a 3 month old DCSB - never regretted trading in my 15 month old F150 Lariat for the Taco and still slapping myself for not getting the Taco in the first place. Anyway, I do some road bicycling and I already have 3 fork mounts (the kind that you can screw or bolt to a board. I used them for years in my old 4runner. Those go for about $20 and I was wondering why I could not obtain simple bolts that could slip into the rails and I would use my existing mounts. I can't imagine not finding any inexpensive parts at a hardware store that would work... but I'm open to ideas. Sure would beat spending $80 per bicycle!

 

I ordered a http://www.recrac.com/ two bike system and a thule instagator. I'm going to be able to carry 3 bikes without taking front wheels off, woo wooo. Tinted the windows and installing Pioneer Head unit w/touchscreen/DVD and installing boston acoustics components.

 

in stock form, that truck will get you places.

if i got a new truck, i would leave it alone until i feel things out. heck, you dont even really know what you like or dislike yet.

 

Why is everyone nuts about those seat covers and floor mats? Call me crazy, but I roll stock seats and mats.

Congrats on the truck OP. Get BenWA's power slider, I say!

 

I think for a lot of people who play outdoors a lot, they are great at keeping your seats clean. To clarify, they are waterproof and clean easily. Wet shorts from swimming, snow or dirt covered gear, etc. all wipe right off. You can spill something and just soak it up with a towel.

The TRD seats look and feel great, but they are very good at soaking up every little stain. I've dropped what I thought was a few drops of water only to have that even leave a mark. I tried to be anal about my seats and got my WOs after 1 year. I gave them a good cleaning with the Bissell before installing the WOs and I was really surprised how much crap came out.

If I had my way, I'd love to put the money towards something else but they are great to have. Adds a touch of style to your interior and adds heated seat functionality.

 

BenWA's sliding window kit is an AWESOME mod. It's what I'm getting next.

 

I wish they sold green Taco's here in the Southwest, but you just don't see them. I've seen one in the last 2 years. Sure like to see a 2012 green one. I just bought a new 2012 black, sure like it..
