Blacked out the grille on my '16 TRD Off Road...new TRD wheels & BFGs. Gettin' there...

looks good! That grill should have been like that from the factory

 

Uh no.

 

^^
uh yep

 

haha sorry

 

'Tis all good. I know I'm right.


..... I hope. I'm starting to second guess myself.

 

Nice work!

 

No trimming whatsoever. No leveling kit. Completely stock suspension. The 2016 TRD OffRoad models sit up and sit level unlike the older models...

 

Did you plastidip the grill or paint it? I love the new look... How durable is it? I'd love to change mine to black as well, but don't want to deal or worry about paint chipping or stripping after car wash, etc and have to repaint or touch it up continuously

 

Nope. Just painted it. Took it to the car wash 48 hours later. No problem at all. No chipping or anything.

 

Looks Great !! Was wondering is it a Flat or semi gloss Black ??

 

I understand you can go with 265/70/17 without a lift. Is that correct

 

Thanks! Actually it's a "matte black" finish....matches the rest of the black body parts...

 

Yep

 

You can go one step "taller", actually. Mine are 265/75/16 BFG All Terrain TKO2. No rubbing whatsoever and I also have OEM mud flaps.

 

Thanks! Yours is very sharp, as well...love the Quicksand. I was trying to find a TRD OffRoad in Quicksand, but it was virtually impossible. Next safe color was white. Lol....yeah I was not a fan of the grilles from the start. I immediately thought it looked like a truck with braces. Lol

 

You don't have any issues with the speedo being off or it feels too long legged in the gearing?

 

Not whatsoever. Just looks a ton better. I checked the RPMs before and after at 65 MPH. Not any change whatsoever.

 

god bless you...i frickin hate chrome

 

I still dont understand how car manufactures, of brand new car designs, cannot do a nice integrated clean looking front license plate mount...
