    Just picked her up last week. First pics of her so far. But headed to Moab area tomorrow so hopefully many more to come. So pumped to have it. Next thing will be a pro grill and an SSO bumper after I have a little bit more change in my pocket.

    Aren't you supposed to have one + and one -? Maybe the 3rd gens are different and no more drivers side lean.

    Is that flux grill? If so how's the color match on the letters to the paint?

    The real Pro grille has no plastic in the middle of the O's, and I think the A. The horizontal piece behind the lettering is a little different b/w the Faux and the Pro. I didn't like the way the O's looked with the solid center so I cut it out. Once the centers are removed, the horizontal piece becomes visible so I cut that out too. Looks better to me and I didn't mind the minimal work involved.

    Yes it's the Faux pro from Vankulture. The color match isn't perfect but it's pretty close. I considered painting, but figured I'd give the vinyl a shot first. It's easier, cheaper, and can be removed/reveresed should I decide color matched paint was a better choice. I think it turned out ok. Gonna leave it for now.

    would anyone have a pic of stock TRD sport wheels painted black? I have tried searching google some but have not been able to find anything. I will eventually get a set of wheels and beefier tires but my money is going to other projects at the current time.

    Still stoked on my truck! I've put way too many miles on it in the 6 months I've owned it.

    I have a 3" OME lift with a new Leaf pack. I did not get UCAs, so far everything has been smooth including off-roading What is everyone's opinion on UCAs, should I get some??

    I also installed new tires, rims, weld on rock sliders and a mesh grill(which I think looks really clean)!

    I recently just picked up a canopy as well, should be awesome for hunting season.

    I know for 2nd gens it is one + and one - and no spacers. There is still lean but not as bad.

    Thanks! Yeah it's hard to get variation right off the lot, but it looks so clean I can't help myself.

    Agreed, looks very nice. Trying to avoid the 285 bug and seeing trucks like this doesn't help.

    Curious if Nittos TG in that size would rub, it has a less agressive tread than the BFG and I like that tire quite a bit.

    I went 275/70/17 on my 4Runner, ko2's. Look like a 285 but don't rub
