    I picked up my new 4X4 Off Road in May and I have been slowly making it my own. I love my truck so much, and I think it turned out pretty awesome. I fought the black rim thing for the past month, but last week I decided to throw on some KMC Enduro's. I tried to be different than the rest of the heard but I just love black rims on white trucks. It seriously looks so much better in person than the OEM Off Road rims. I actually put on the Cooper ATP's last month and thought I could be happy with the OEM rims, well, I just had to do it.

    For all of you that chose the Sport over the Off Road because of the chrome, I can tell you that is cost me next to nothing to buy a new bumper and grill surround after selling my take off's on CL. Turns out that stuff sells quick and for good money on the secondary market. Now I have the perfect truck, better off road than the sport and no chrome. Tires also, take them off fast and you get good money for them, cost me next to nothing to upgrade . Now I have a full warranty and a better tire.

    I LOVE my Tacoma, there is no other truck I would rather drive.

    Here she is only 2 months ago just before she became mine.

    Looks good! I like the color matched grille and rear bumper. I remember for my taco that was the first thing on the to do list as well.

    Keep it up!

    Thanks.

    The center caps say XD Series but they stick out way too far. I know people who trim them down and pop them in and it looks 100 X's better but I like the ruggedness of it without.

    Forgot to add, Cooper ATP's are a pretty nice tire with a 55,000 mile warranty. They do throw some small pebbles, nothing to crazy but on some off road trails you will find a few stuck in the tread once you get home. I am pretty pleased with them, especially for the price.
