Army Green thread: let’s keep it green!

At least i'm getting to see pics. of AG taco's, I put a deposit down on one the first of August and no word yet. His timeline was sometime in October possibly. Checked last week, and the dealer said they were getting the allocation list for some MT trucks, but haven't heard anything back.

 

I have a 2020 manual army green Pro with front and rear lockers with 5.29 gears. I just installed a 6” Fabtech lift with King coilovers and King rear shocks, all with remote reservoirs, 8” extended length kevlar coated stainless steel braided brake lines and Total Chaos upper and lower control arms with a rear shackle flip and custom 5” Alcan rear leaf springs. I still need to get the front end alignment and order my 35” BFG Mud Terrains. I’m running 17” 4Runner TRD Pro wheels with 1.25” Spidertrax wheel spacers.

 

I've felt your pain. I started talking to the dealer early Aug. 2019, but they wouldn't take a deposit. By Sep., I threatened to go to another dealer, so they let me put deposit. It wasn't until late Oct. that the allocation got approved. Then, it was wait for a build date. Finally got mine mid February. Well worth the wait.

 

"Order 35" BFG Mud Terrains" thought those in the pic were a little on the small looking side for 35 inchers.
But you know what they say about men when it come to guessing in inches. Quoting for a friend of course.

 

The tires on it now are All Terrains and are metric but they translate to about 31x10.50R17.

 

When did you actually order yours?
Do you know how Toyota decides who gets what when?

 

From what I understand, dealers have X number of allocations (model / trim / color ) per year based on previous sales. Large volume dealers have some priority on getting their allocations filled first. So, low volume dealers have to wait in line. Remember, with Toyota, dealers can't special order a vehicle. They can only take what they are allocated from Toyota. Sometimes dealers will trade allocations. Last year, AG pros were only made 2 months on and 2 months off. So, if your dealer's allocation doesn't get into the queue during production window, then it will get into the next one, which might be 2 months later.

 

Ordered first week of September. We had to trade the allocation with a dealer in another region. It was built 9/21 (or at least that week of). So it then goes on a train to the port in Jersey, and then onto a carrier to the dealer.

 

Thanks for the info.

 

Was the grille 100% plug n play?

 

Took me about 15 minutes to install.

 

No modifications though? Accurate fitment?

 

Zero modifications, everything fit as it should. Only needed a 10mm socket and Philips screwdriver.

 

First AC OR I've seen in AG:

 

I picked up my AG taco last weekend. Looking forward to learning more about the platform here.

 

congrats on the new taco.
I'm beginning to think i'm gonna have to wait longer than originally thought.

 

A big welcome to all the new guys joining Team Army Green!

 

Found an Army Green TRD Sport on Autotrader. Looks good

 

My opinion, ruined a TRD PRO and wasted your money. Why not just buy a TRD Off-Road or Sport/ DISLIKE EMOJI

 

Installed the Prinsu yesterday. Loving the overall look now!
