    Looks better with a lift than without. Still looks too much like a gen 2. That being said, the body has nothing to do with the lift project. Good job on the lift.

    One can never have too many light bars.
    They're Cooper Discover SST's. Not sure on the size though.

    Looks great. I love the truck, don't get me wrong but the lift and bigger tires really help balance that larger front end. Great job ToyTec.

    Thanks for the pics. You proved my theory. 3rd gen will look much better lifted with aggressive tires and wheels. I'm still on the fence. Trade in my MGM 2013 DCSB Sport for an Inferno Sport. Hmmmm.

    Yes
    Just rounding off and simplifying so nobody jump in and be a tape measure / exact tire dia nazi ...cough cough JBerry...If stock tires are 31's and those are 35's then you get another 2" of ground clearance from the tires alone. So 3" of suspension lift + 2" of tire lift = 5" total approximately.

    What's everyone beef with the grill? I'm more grossed out by the bottom bumper.

    Why was a sport chosen over an off road? New gears in the rear end?

    Just a guess here, but since they were already going to change out the wheels, tires and suspension, the sport has the body colored overfenders, lower front bumper, and rear bumper, and that looks a bit nicer IMO.

    SEMA is all about appearance. Nobody is test driving these vehicles at SEMA.

    Gotcha, that makes sense. Just seems a little silly to put 35's and a lift on a truck that doesn't even have a locker.

    The idea of SEMA is to advertise these aftermarket parts to the public. I'm sure many of those who decide to purchase these items will be putting them on the off road model. But for purposes of SEMA, they want the nicest looking truck they can get. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if they put an aftermarket locker on this truck.
