    Ok this might be a dumb question but how come some of the OR's have chrome grills and some do not? I'm really digging the black grill.

    Pretty sure all of the OR's come with a chrome grill. Some guys just paint them or use plastidip on them. Of course some may just change them out for pro grills or BAMF grills (like me).

    Picked up this new Taoo on Thursday. I intended to order one but fell in love with this one that had some big Fuel wheels, Toyo Open Country tires and a 3" lift already installed by the dealer. Love it and intend to use it often for surf fishing on Padre Island beaches.

    Can you guys tell me about your tint? All three of your trucks look great, and I'm looking to tint mine soon.

    Your truck looks great! Can you tell me more about your wheel spacers? Brand? Size? Cost? Install? Many thanks!

    Thanks man! The spacers are 1.25 spidertrax. You might be able to find them cheaper, but I picked these up at the local 4 wheel parts for roughly $100/set (2 to a set). I put them on last week after work in about 20 minutes. The most time consuming part is taking the tires off.

    One thing I would like to mention is that I only got these as a "band aid". After I put the lift on, the tires on stock wheels were very close to the stock UCA's. I will replace the UCAs and wheels in the future and ditch the spacers. Anyway, hope that helps.

    This is all I have for now. Level 8 MK6 wheels with 285/75/16 Duratracs. Currently at stock height. I was curious how they would fit so I threw them on. Tiny bit of rubbing. Lift will be installed this weekend, and I will update with better pics.

    PS- The center caps are on my work bench to have the level 8 branding removed, and replaced with a TRD logo.

    Did you plastidip your hood scoop? If so does it take a whole can and did you use a sealant?

    Thanks, I plasti dipped it just unbolt your scoop it comes right off and plasti dip it I didn't use a sealant. I actually purchased the unpainted pro scoop but it was flawed and the finish didn't look as good as plasti dip so I sent it back. You won't use 1/4 of the can.
    I used plasti dip brand it's like $6 and some change at home depot. It won't last forever but you can peel it off and redo it every year when needed
