3rd Gen White Tacomas - Post them up!

Looking good! Racking up some offroad miles!! How's everything been going with the truck? Any of the previous gremlins pop up or just a one time incident?

 

Picked up my access cab today! Makes my 2005 SR5 feel like a go cart. Got the same TRD wheels as G-52, but in grey. Also ordered SR grill, should get that friday. had 5 miles on her at pickup, and was able to get home in one piece with 29 miles showing.

 

Picked mine up today. Easiest/no hassle new car process ive experienced. All done via email/phone.

Pic is obviously at the dealer. Getting dark when I got home.

Coming from a 2002 Gen 1. This thing is the bee's knees (some country slanguage for ya). Bought my first Tacoma in 2002, been my daily driver since. Has 250k on it with body damage, and they still wanted me to trade it. Nope!

I'll do a side by side pic when I get the chance.

 

Looks great! I have a '16 TRD Sport ACLB 4x2 and am looking to do something similar. Any issues with rubbing?

 

Thanks and welcome! No issues with rubbing, plenty of room. I went from a 16 inch rim to a 17; and from 30.6 inch diameter tire to 31.65 in.; that's only a half inch increase in any direction. I'd recommend writing down tire specs as you go (diameter, weight, price, etc.) using Tread Depot, Tire Rack, etc. Makes it easier to compare and select. I'll put some dirt on the tires from time to time; but no plans to "stuff" the fenders any time soon

 

Awesome, thanks for the feedback! Mine has the 17s with Toyo 265/65/17 and so I am thinking I could probably just swap them over to the TRD wheels.

 

Absolutely. The TRD wheel is 17x7 and will do fine with your tires and truck

 

Thanks, again! I think that solves the issue of which wheels to get.

 

Finally getting somewhere with my ugly duckling! TRD Off Road

 

Just picked her up a little bit ago.

 

Just had it done in shop, actually looks great in person - the pictures don't do it justice. It's the exact same vinyl that's on the B Pillars on the side of the trucks.

That grill looks sharp

 

I really like that grill. I hope to do something similar to mine in time but I want the inner part black.

 

Looks great. Did u swap fender flares or have them painted ?

 

Yep I like it.

 

The dealership was supposed to order new ones and paint them but they tried to be sneaky and paint the textured ones that came on the truck... They look like garbage but the new ones are on order along with a sport hood.

 

instead of the usual plastidip flat black look, I painted the grill with regular paint and clear.

 

Stopped by the local dealer and took some nice comparison pics of my 2015 next to a pretty identical 2016
