Steiner9er's Build & Activity Thread

"Crystal," was purchased in the 1st week of January 2018. She is a 2018 Cement Tacoma TRD Off-road. Here is her fresh out of the dealership on January 5th.

 

On January 13, we went to Peter's Mill run. We got stuck in the opening of a mud-pit, but got her unstuck after a solid 45 minutes. Great first time, though.

 

Fast forward to February 17th, and we went through a snow storm in PA at a hockey tournament.

 

Haha treating her right! I'm jealous of your color matched rear bumper! Mines chrome and it completely changes the truck in my in my opinion!

 

March 11, 2018... Someone decided to park and block half of my driveway. They received a nice note on their windshield

 

Thanks! Honestly, the matching colored rear bumper was a big reason I went with the Premium & tech package

 

March 16, the truck does pretty well off-road, but she can clean up for nice occasions!

 

I was super bummed when found out I was getting chrome because of the premium. I guess the tech package on top of premium must get you color match. Mines premium without tech

 

March 19, 2018. Not sure if I'd call it a mod, but first addition, then I did a little mudding in a flooded parking lot with a buddy. They are CaliRaised LED Fog Light Replacements. Easy install, but I am currently (as of August 2018) on my 3rd pair of the pods, because they keep fogging up. CaliRaised has replaced them for free when they fog, but it is a hassle. Spot beam, not too bright. I can usually get away with driving it on the roads at night without people flashing me.

 

On March 21, we got our first snowfall of the year. Day off for school means a day of driving around, and lots of doughnuts (with the car). Went through almost a full tank of gas.

 

March 23, snow melted fast (as it does in Northern Virginia). A few stickers were added over the past few weeks, including the American Flag "Tacoma" decal.

 

April 5, 2018. Still on my first pair of LED pods, but CaliRaised sent me replacements today

 

April 10, 2018. Hung out with my buddy (Blue 2016 Tacoma TRD Sport), and took a few pictures.

 

April 18. New fog lights & a fresh cleanup

 

May 3. It was time for a hot tub. The Tacoma sagged a lot with all the water in it, but had a blast.

 

May 13, headed down to Lancaster, VA. Ran some trails, fished, had a blast.

 

May 20... Off to Skyline Drive in Shenandoah National Park. Did a little hiking and boy are these some sights to see! Crystal was all cleaned up, because Prom was the night before!! Had a blast

 

June 12. The pup was the star in this picture.

 

June 18-24. Nothing beats this... Beach week in Ocracoke Island, NC for the recent grads. Fishing, boating, driving and a lot of other fun!

 

June 25. Dated a girl for awhile who was an exchange student from Italy. Time for her to go back home, and for us to say our goodbyes, but she gave me what I wanted for a long time! A Hawaiian chick for the dash!!
