    2019 Cement Tacoma TRD Off-Road
    Just got on boards last week to checkout all the upfits I need that Toyota didn't include. Bought first Taco on Saturday - went with TRD Off-Road with JBL systems & all the options. I drove my son's 2007 FJ for years while he lived in NY and loved the off road capability. Only Pro around was the Voodoo blue and just didn't like that bold of a color.

    Plan on adding the fox suspension and baja design lights since I have a connection their and can get one set of shocks dirt cheap and BD lights at wholesale. (my company does military upfits and training).

    Decided to add the front camera and will add winch, bumper and roof rack once I decide which ones to go with.

    Anyway - I'm here now and look forward to giving as much as a take away from the threads.

    I used it in my sprinter van an loved it. Just as convinient in the taco. Tight fit with the shifter, i removed one of the pivot arms to make mine set lower.

    Doesn’t get in the way of passenger and makes great table for eating my burger.

    Welcome to TW! I am from Pinehurst as well. I have a silver double cab 1st gen (mostly stock) and a lifted, snorkeled, armored 3rd gen 4runner! I know quite a few guys at Bragg/local, I am sure we share some common friends. Let me know if you would like to hit up Uwharrie sometime as we go roughly every 3 weeks or so.

    Make sure to join Carolina 4runner group on FB. Lots of good Toyota peeps in there. Let them know that Rob sent you.

    :cheers:

    @MacGyver18E the 4runner group is headed to Fort Fisher for the day Saturday if you want to tag along. I'm leaving around 0600 that morning.

    Should be 60+ Toyotas on the beach that day! Last year was a great time!
