Army Green thread: let’s keep it green!

Welcome! Sick truck. I’m jealous of your headlights

 

Same - those a beautiful! I'm like a week into ownership and already looking at new sets

 

I’m hanging onto mine for now because they’re still good looking headlights. I’m just gonna keep an eye out for anyone wanting to sell or trade their premium OEMs. Those headlights were literally the one thing I did not get with my truck but otherwise it was exactly the truck for me.

 

Top pic is from the day I picked it up. The bottom is with the TRD oem lift kit and TRD bronze 4Runner wheels with 265/70R17 Cooper AT3 4S’s

 

Found my truck on google street view lol

 

Did you have to ask the dealer not to remove foglights when they installed lift kit?

 

SCS wheels installed.

 

Wash day!

 

Going to do an impromptu beach day tomorrow, weather permitting. Since I finally got the UpTop installed, I'm going to give my Waterport Weekender a try. last time we went to the beach I used one of those flimsy solar showers, so this should be awesome. It is not fun trying to fish the bolt into the pop in nuts in the rack. A few choice words were uttered.

 

Sweet looking truck, my friend!

 

She finally got a lil dirty for the first time on a nice roadtrip. First time taking her off road on gravel/forest roads. Nothing too crazy, but it felt good going over bumps and going over puddles!

 

Does it sound much better? Does it drone on the highway at higher speeds?

 

It’s a deeper sounds but overall you hear the engine more going through the gears. At cruising speeds it kind of drops off and you don’t hear it all all. I went with TRD so I wouldn’t void any warranties and it was only a 30 minute install. To be totally honest though Im missing the quietness of the factory exhaust. It does sound great at start up and I love the look so I’m hoping it will grow on me more. You can go to YouTube and find a clip to play on your stereo to get more accurate feel for the sound. You may not like things as quiet as I do at 56 ? - lol

 

What brand is your Bug/Rock deflector? I'm looking for the one that has a little space under it for cleaning purposes.
Thanks

 

Just the AVS bug deflector. There is room to clean, but I will say that the front edge rubs against the grille surround. I put a piece of clear film there to protect it.

Added a new capability to Odie today! Forget the gun version, I'm going for the tactical nuc!

I saw the switch and realized it was the Army’s old LANCE missile system. I commanded Charlie Battery, 6th Battalion 33rd Field Artillery (LANCE) at Fort Sill, OK in 1983/84. The system could deliver either a conventional or a nuclear warhead from either its tracked launcher (on the switch) or the launch rail could be removed and converted to a towed mode which could also be moved by helicopter. The other pictures are of a missile my battery fired in 1984 at White Sands New Mexico.

 

Just picked mine up from the dealership on July 2, 2021.
2021 Tacoma 4x4 TRD Off Road Manual Transmission. It had all of 6 miles on it when we got it ... less than 24 hours later, the boys have put over 72 miles on it.

 

Congratulations on a beautiful truck - and welcome to Team Army Green!!!

 

That is AWESOME!

 

I know the feeling! I took mine right outta the package with 3 miles and death marched it 2400 miles back to my house haha. Awesome road trip vehicle, awesome off-road vehicle, nothing it can’t do as I’m sure you e realized. Welcome to the green team!!
