Buy a Pro or Trd off road and upgrade along the way?

And what color is your truck? Oh right.....

 

Blue

 

Take a picture, id love to see it.

 

Build a pro fuck it

 

As soon as I locate it I will!

Don't be a dumb fuck, you know you have been stalking my posts, you know the deal. (back on ignore for "Sub_Par" )



LOL

 

Pretty sure this was our first interaction, but maybe I’m wrong I have been on this forum for a while, ya know cause I actually own the trucks it’s made for.

 

Flushed out? Lol. Were you looking for them? I don’t doubt there’s like 1 or 2 people who hate the pro fundamentally. And I’m sure there are a handful of jealous types. But some (myself included) lost track of the point of the pro when there was nothing that couldn’t be bolted onto any 3rd gen, that was stronger/built to withstand more abuse, and for less money. The only thing that can’t be bought is the collectors novelty, which is huge and I appreciate, but that’s it.

 

I have the list somewhere of all of the upgrades I would do to the OR. Around $6500 in parts. And still not a PRO

Shocks $3000
https://www.trdusa.com/parts-detail.html?p=PTR61-35170&years=2017&models=Tacoma&categories=Performance Suspension/Chassis&subcategories=all

PRO Wheels - $1000

Exhaust - $400

Skid Plate - $300

1 inch lift kit - unknown

Tires - Upgrade $700, maybe

Grill $200

Rigid Front lights - $500

TRD - seats - $100 upgrade red stitching - estimate

Shift Knob - $100

 

I say get a PRO if you get a good deal on one. I got a deal and could not be happier with the truck.

 

That is close except I had the Lift kit quoted for an OR that was same grade as the Trd Pro and it came in at $2,300 not installed. (local places guys don't scream at me) and the Trd Performance Exhaust was $500 not installed.

 

Here is what I saw...

Actually, I cannot stand the PRO exhaust. It sounds like a stupid teenagers muffler with a hole in it and he thinks it's cool

 

now I'm wondering I will have to go stand behind mine and see what it sounds like

 

Save your money and build up an OR.
The Pro isn't really "pro" at all and looks just like other pros. Customize your own special truck!
You should have started a POLL.

 

Do you look cool because you have a Pro or do you look cool with a set of all terrian tires on your SR5 knowing you can go anywhere a Pro can go. That leather shift knob, cool fog lights and tail lights, leather and a cool sounding exhaust don't do shit for you off road. No Pro hater here at all, but damn it's a Toyota and they are all very capable off road. Give me a set of decent all terrian tires and 4wd and added locker and I'm good. No way in hell am I putting a new Tacoma in the mud or rock climbing. Get a vehicle designed for your uses. 18 pages of get this or get that. Damn get what you want and the hell with what everyone else thinks.

 

18 pages of pissing contest, lol. Take it easy boys, we all have good trucks. No need to call each other names, IMO.

 

Are you aware of who Smitty was/is?

 

When I said stronger/better, that meant NOT oem Fox shocks. Serviceable is key, with easily found rebuild kits. And nobody is buying the oem pro skid plate for actual undercarriage protection. It isn’t the notion of replicating a pro in order to have a pro. It’s that if a person requires performance/strength upgrades like the pro suggests (it doesn’t in actuality) a person could build a “better” version for less. But yes, still not a pro... But when veiwed from the perspective of actual real world performance, that’s irrelevant.

Unless you require the novelty.

 

Mall crawl/pavement princess -> pro
If you will use it -> off road
