    de-badged, tint front windows, led interior lights, door sill protectors, led b/up lights, 5" factory step rails, yellow turn signal bulbs, added 4 D ring tie downs. Took off the black vinyl stripes between the doors. Changed the grill - from Custom Car Grills, Finally got a tonneau cover put on. 31" light bar ( white & amber ), tailgate light bar, sunvisor covers ( to hide warning labels ), new bedside decals - still too cold to put them on tho. Flag decals to go on too, again too cold still. Got a 2 switch, switch plate to replace that useless cubby hole to the left of the steering wheel.. still to be installed ( hopefully this weekend ). Upgraded the tires to G/Y Duratracs... loving them, no plowing the driveway !!
    I got mine from @CBoy808 altho he is not Canadian, he did good work.

    Agree 200%. He is in Hawaii, but his products are top notch, and he can design whatever you want. Shipping to Canada was not an issue.

    Like any good Winnipegger would, check Kijiji. Honestly though, I'm in the market for a new set myself. I just picked up some used rims and Hankook studded winters to hold me off for the upcoming months. I eventually want to get KO2's.

    I’ve said it before, I’ll probably be saying this again in 2018 - I won't be trading my truck in until they have the TRD OR in the 6 foot box.

    We know that they build it for the States. Have you tried asking your dealer if they can special order one for you? Doesn't hurt to ask.

    After all the negotiations with my agent, I've decided to get a second gen instead. The things I have read about the issues of the 3d gen made me change my mind. I hope I won't regret this decision.

    Man, have I missed driving a truck. Last one was in 2004.

    I have a 3rd Gen. And I have no issues with it. The truck isn’t sluggish. No whine. No vibrations. No leaks. Transmission shifts smoothly. And no it isn’t a unicorn.

    I loved it when I test drove it. But with all the things I have read, I did not want to take the chance. I still love that white TRD Off Road though.

    You need to stay off TW. Your going to regret it. When the second gen came out there was the same kind of bitching.

    IMHO, Don’t buy a 2nd Gen. I have a 3rd Gen, with no complaints.

    In my opinion, the differences that were freaking people out about the 3rd Gen are being better understood, Toyota is dealing with the quality issues they had with the early 2016s, and the aftermarket is springing to life with a billion cool upgrades and accessories for the 3rd Gen. I think things are just getting good and getting going with these 3rd Gen trucks. I’d hate to be left in the past for the sake of a risk-free purchase of a 2nd Gen. I think the rewards of going with the latest, albeit unproven, product are just starting to be realized.

    Keep in mind that the chronic 3rd Gen complainers on TW were probably the complainers on whatever vehicle forum they belonged to before, and will be complaining about the 4th Gen when it arrives. People like to complain.

    My two bits anyways.....

    People were here complaining about the 3rd gen even before you could buy one. And it hasn't stopped.
    Some people expect the torque of a diesel, the horsepower of a V8 and the economy of a hybrid.
