    What they told you previously about getting a color matched grill surround is spot on. However, I understand the not having funds t just change body parts. Remove your black plastidip and dip it white it's almost a direct color match. I did this on my last Tacoma along with the rear bumper and it looked great. The key is spray it with about 8 light coats of the white and then 3-4 coats of the glossifier. When the white starts to look dingy you can hit it with some Mothers cleaner wax and it'll brighten right back up. The wax can be a little hard to get off but if you spray it with a quick detail spray and wipe it the wax residue comes right off. I've done the Storm trooper thing on both the tacomas I've had and love it. great job so far keep it up! You can clean and plasti dip your wheels also. I don't consider Plasti dip a solution but it's ok and fun to play with

    This was my '13 with the grill surround and rear bumper dipped white. It may not be the best solution but it looks nice and matches well

    Sure it's relatively cheap, looks good, and it's fun. If ya don't like it it can be peeled off

    No pictures but just got back from a little family off-roading trip. Found some actually challenging stuff within 5 miles of our house. My dad wheeled his fwd escape pretty well.
    My prerunner continues to amaze me.

    start small maybe campgrounds let her find some aspects she enjoys like my wife loves organizing all the kitchen stuff and figuring out how to make things compact. Find a campground where there's things there or nearby she'd enjoy doing and maybe there'll even be some off roading or trail riding available

    Current lift mindset: be patient and save up for maxtrac spindles and Dakar’s. Just use wheel spacers until new wheels and tires are affordable.
