hellopuppie's 2018 Cylver Faux Cupcake Forest Limo TRD Off-Road DCLB 4x4 Build and BS

I'm so jealous! Glad you're enjoying it though.

 

Hey, feliz cumpleanos!

 

Thanks man!! Muy apreciado!!

 

Great looking truck! Been looking at getting a Tacoma for a few years and when I saw they had cement and leather option for TRDs I pulled the trigger. Ordered on 1/22 build date 3/15. Got an email on 3/13 it was built early. Should have it next week. Being patient was hard. CEMENT, DCLB,OR, TECH AND PREMIUM, TRD PRO GRILL, REMOTE START, ARE CAMPER SHELL W/ROOF RACKS, BED MATT, SILLPROTECTOR, ALL WEATHER FLOOR MATTS, FISHING ROD HOLDERS INSIDE THE CAMPER SHELL....can you tell Im excited to get my first Tacoma!!

 

Welcome to the Cement club, and welcome to TW.

You’re going to love your Taco.

 

Sweet!! Thanks man!! Welcome to TW and congrats on your first Tacoma!! Yeah, when I heard that Cement was coming to the TRD OR and Sport, I was all over that!! It was rough waiting for mine dude! Haha, but I love it!! You should post a picture of it here when you get it. I can't wait to see!

 

@JerryTaco, I know you're a bit of a foodie too, so here's some food porn for you from Portugal and Spain! Haha

 

Fuuuuuuuck, looks amazing. Bring back some spec for me!!

 

I am partial to your truck lol. Been waiting for long bed cement for like 2 years. Nice build can’t wait to mod mine

 

I'm finally back from Europe and my Pelfreybilt skids showed up at SDHQ while I was gone. So, I picked them up on Friday and stopped by @JerryTaco's place on my way home for a quick install. Thanks Brah!!

 

Did you do anything with the exhaust? It looks like you might have raised it an inch or two.

 

Have you ever notice your OEM skid plate vibrating or causing any annoying noises when hitting big holes? Mine does and have been thinking about replacing it something thicker that wont vibrate. Mine has a big dent which may be affecting fitment too?

 

No, we didn't do anything with the exhaust. It still sticks down a little but I think the angle of the picture makes it look tucked in there.

 

Thanks man and welcome to TW!! Excellent choice my friend! I can't wait to see what mods you have planned.

 

Can't wait to see it after your upgrade today!!

 

Hey man! No, I never noticed any vibrating or anything from the OEM skid plates. I don't think they qualify as skid plates! haha. Since you have a big dent in your OEMs, (which wouldn't be hard to do by the way) it may have bent the edges close to another piece of metal somewhere. I would check the edges of the IFS and see if it's close to anything else that might make it rattle when you hit a hard bump. If so, just grab the edge and pull it away from whatever it might be. They're super flimsy, therefore very easy to bend. When mine came off, I literally bent them up by hand (and foot) to fit in the box my Pelfreybilt came in. I would just go with something thicker dude, these things are solid!! And they look way better!!

 

@Lord Humongous you should definitely ditch those tin foil factory "skids" and get at least an Aluminum IFS skid. Definitely worth the money for sure.

 

What he said!!

 

Thanks! Mine definatley doesn't fit right anymore and it starting to vibrate like a tuning fork (bolts are tight). Do you know if the pelfrey skid works with the 1" diff drop? I think I've read the RCI one does. I like the weight savings of aluminum. Any expierence as far as how aluminum holds up?
