Lube your wallet....
You joined tw
The wallets gunna get worked hard and fast

Welcome, nice truck

 

It looks great. How much did the LED headlights swap cost you ..? also where did you get your pro rims and cost please..? been finding them on eBay for around 750

 

Ordered some the LED headlights off Amazon for about $45-50 I think. I can find the link if you need me to

I got the TRD wheels from my local Toyota dealer. I paid $180 a wheel so about $720 all together. Make sure if you get them off eBay they are 17x7 the 17x8 are typically replicas

 

I think I found another link for some LED's. I will check into my local dealer . I just bought a 17 SR5 3 weeks ago and I can't wait to swap out the wheels and tires . The wheels and tires on your truck made it look so much better . looks like you took the wind dam off too under the front bumper..? Any rubbing with the tires or no ..?

 

Nice!! And yeah the wheels and tires made a huge difference. I took the wind dam off just because of asthetics. I think it looks better without it. There’s no rubbing at all even with the wind dam.

The size I went with is the biggest you can go without rubbing issues. 265/70/17

 

Great start! And what inwood said above^. The mods never stop once you join TW. I've been on here for almost 10 years and still find new stuff to do daily!

 

Thanks for the info much appreciated brother

 

I dig your truck & mods.

I swapped out the wiper switch, added fogs, full tint, ram ball mount, knock off pro grill, interior led swap and license plate led swap

I see no stopping with the mods any time soon. Beefier tires coming, mostlikely LED bar like yours and who knows what else Illl throw on the beast.

 

Welcome to the Mod world. never stops hahaha my wallet already hates me!!!

 

I dig the wheel and tire setup, stock suspension? What tire size did you go with?

 

Stock Suspension. Tires are 265/70R17 biggest i can get on stock suspension

 

Any differences in fuel economy or ride comfort?

 

Also curious..? Ride quality mostly ..?

 

Haven't seen much change in fuel economy yet, maybe 2-3mpg lower. Ride Quality is great, honestly better than stock wheels.. Feel like with these tires truck feels more stuck to the ground. I love it

 

Love the SR bro! Congrats!

Those TRD Pro rims are sweet on there too.

You should get you a TRD front tow hook unless your going to bumper it up.

I want a DCSB SR so bad!

 

Thanks man!! I love it so far. I’m getting a knock off TRD Pro grill ordered. I kinda want to just add a winch on front

 

10-4,

You gonna tint the windows?

 

Added Predator Side Pro sides steps and the TRD PRO grill today!
