    2013 TRD Off Road
    Hey guys how's it going? Picked up my brand new 2013 TRD Off Road in June. I've already been getting a ton of info from the site here, so thanks!

    Anyways...a little about me:

    Previous Rides: 1998 Honda Accord (~1 Year) 2006 Acura RSX (3 years)
    Location: Live in Bucks County, Pa. Go to school at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pa where I'm studying Industrial Design and Architecture.
    Interests: Philly Sports, Woodworking, Metalworking, Landscaping/Hardscaping...basically building anything that keeps me busy.

    Always wanted a truck (I destroyed the back of my rsx...bags of cement, bales of hay, etc. :rolleyes: ) and finally upgraded - and couldn't be happier with my taco!

    Mods So Far

    Suspension
    - Bilstein 5100's all around with Eibach front coils
    - Toytec AAL
    - Light Racing Upper Control Arms

    Exterior
    - Toyota Bug Shield (Came with truck, but I actually like it)
    - WeatherTech Wind Deflectors
    - DIY Color Matched Grill Surround
    - Plasti Dipped Grill Badge
    - De-Badged all around
    - Smoked Taillights and third brake light (Rust-Oleum Lens Tint)
    - Toyota Bed Mat

    Interior
    - 20% Tint all around
    - Flashlight mount
    - Toyota All Weather mats (Also free with truck)

    Security
    - Viper Smart Start with Alarm
    - Locking Hitch Pin

    Towing
    - Adjustable height hitch
    - 6x10' wood floor utility trailer

    Here she is:

    Thanks everyone.

    Well I'm pretty close to Valley Forge actually. In person you can still see a hint of red, and the light shines through pretty well. Not really sure on the actual law - I've seen a few Lexus and Fords that come with the smoked tails stock.

    i know phoenixville, schuylkill, and east pikeland don't like it one bit, not to mention the staties that run around here every now and then, a bunch of my friends have gotten hit for it in the past 2 months.

    Since you're close I may see ya rollin around, im not too hard to spot lol

    I am considering the same suspension set up that you have. Just curious how you like it? How does the ride feel to you compared to stock?
