Army Green thread: let’s keep it green!

So happy to see another AG owner actually using his truck!

 

Nice pics! What size are those KO2's?

 

I'd be weary of this. Watch the video. Take note of their measurements before and after the lift. Factor in 2 inch taller tires. 1 inch taller
when measuring from the center of the hub out to the edge of the tire. Then go out and measure the height of your Taco the same way they did.
See what height you come up with before and what would it be if you added 2 inch taller tires to your truck.

 

I'm liking that white-letter-out look.

 

-Leer 100XR canopy is on order
-Meso Stage 1 Tail Light kit when back in stock
-CaliRaised Sliders (most likely, can't decided between those or a couple of others)
-Interior LED kit
-OV Tune Kit just shipped today
-BFG ko2 or Toyo AT3 tires (265 or 285 not sure yet)
-C4 or Greenlane front bumper
-Tepui or Alu-cab RTT

 

Where is this from?

Ah I actually just got done with those for the door sill just now. Color is off a bit, it is a tad brighter green. Not sure if I’ll keep them if not.

 

I just received a set of the red ones - had a set from another company but didn't like them so I ordered a set from TVD on Saturday and received them this afternoon.

 

Ya. I noticed it seemed a little strange. My Trd Offroad measured higher in the front when stock height compared to what there getting on a stock Pro. Ive seen them do that on 2 videos now.

 

Army Green + sage green + Texas spring greens.

 

Are those sill protectors from the same vendor or just the color inserts?

 

Door Sill protectors are the OEM ones I purchased on ebay
(https://www.ebay.com/itm/Toyota-Tac...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649)

The green inserts are from tvd decals

 

More Meso-Mods! New key fob with the black key ring arrived today! I got the red buttons as well to add that red flare

 

I ordered one the other day, too - also ordered the red buttons. It's supposed to arrive tomorrow - and hopefully the replacement lower bulb unit I need for my Stage 1 Tail Light kit is with it.

 

Whoa. Big stuff in order is right! Going full overland i see those are the sliders I’d like to get as well or I’ve been looking at the Warfab armor guys stuff. I could pick up locally from him and I’ve heard his stuff is awesome.
Why bare? Do you have a powder coat guy? And any suspension upgrades for the added weight? - not sure if they are even needed. No expert here by any means, I’ve just heard of guys doing it.
And for sure on in and out!

 

Primary reason for the Caliraised sliders is the free pickup. I can get to Dallas in about 4-5 hours, so that would be easy enough. I'd probably get Mobtown otherwise. Bare because I'm just going to spraypaint them myself.
I'll see how this load affects suspension before electing to do anything to it. I really like the stock Fox set up as it is.
Basically just a barebones minimum set up and react as needed from there. Probably check out those springs from Eibach if I get front armor.

 

Ok, Team AG, I need your collective wisdom. For the past 10 days I've been trying to put a MESO Stage 1 Total Tail Light kit in my truck. The installation is easy - takes minutes to pop out the old bulbs, replace them, add in the new harness and connect it to the old one. Here's my problem: Once installed hen I activate the right turn signal, everything works fine. When I activate the left, the left turn signal lights amber...and I get a low grade white flash from the lower bulb on the right.

I've swapped sides, I've added the resistors, MESO sent me both a replacement harness and a new bulb. Nothing works.

The only thing I can think of is that there is something in the original wiring of my truck that is causing it. But I know other people with 2020s have put the kit in their cars without issues.

Any ideas?

 

Somewhere on here there’s a discussion regarding raptor lights burning out daytime running lights. I can’t remember what the problem was exactly but it involved light frequency and an oscilloscope was used to determine the problem. Reading it was enough for me to decide not to monkey with the lights.

 

Some people wire the Raptors into the DRLs directly. Most are on one of the headlight circuits and doesn't cause any issues.
