3rd GEN BARCELONA RED TACOMAS!!

Snowed a bit today! Scarlet over some snow. Still have the itch to upgrade my tire/wheel set up. Wonder if 265/70/17 & matte black sema wheels would be good?

 

The answer is a solid yes. The SEMA wheels are the best looking wheels in my opinion, and I got Wildpeaks in 265/70r17 along with them. They now sit flush with the fenders and look fantastic.

 

Check out these "before the before" pics! Sales guy took a couple of snaps for me BEFORE it makes its way to the dealership. I will be taking some more "before" pics when it gets to the dealership, in about 30 minutes, because by the end of tomorrow, it will have tinted windows, the TRD factory lift, and TRD Pro 16" wheels with 265/75/16 KO2's! Stay tuned!!

 

Exciting times - I'll be waiting to see the first pinstripe pictures.

 

I am jealous of the lift and tires! This is what my baby looks like now. Very stock. Most of the mods I've done did not change the appearance! Love BR on a Sport!! I think its the perfect color for the sport trim

 

No pinstripes!!!!

 

Sweet!! I was hoping to get them both at the same time. Don't know what to do with the old rims though. Are you from NM??

 

For the time being, yes. Liking the snow. Before it melts, anyway.

I still have my old rims and tires sitting in storage.

 

hood swap….. hum..

 

great decal !!

 

Before rim/tire swap…

After rim/tire swap…


And by the way, got my truck today!!! Literally drove it off the lot and less than two hours later was getting rims/tires swapped. Now gotta sell the brand new stock rims/tires.

 

Nice find sir.. that is a gorgeous truck!

Those red trd rims on the red is outstanding.. red trd shocks sticken out. Fucking outstanding

Did you leave the tailgate red or black out tacoma??


Man fuck yes on the hoodscoop sport in Barcelona red
Congrats again bro.

 

Thanks man! It’s incredibly beautiful. The subtle lift with the red shocks just makes it… *chef’s kiss*

I think my next mod will be to remove the air dam and add the TRD Skid Plate.

Before…

After

 

Panchito, you got yourself a nice truck there! I see you are also in Tucson. I hope to see your truck in town sometime! I also have a 2022 BR myself and the next mod is the TRD skid plate. I actually already bought it but haven't had time to put it on. I'm a real desert rat and this crazy weather is too cold for me. Looking to put it on this weekend if it warms up a little. Will share some pictures when I put it on.

 

I’m planning on getting the Amazon knock off version of it and then just adding the decals. Just food for thought.

 

Maybe we can help each other install ours? I’ve seen the YouTube videos. It’s better when it’s a two-man job they say. PM me.

 

Panchito, my brother and I just installed ours. I actually got him a skid plate for his birthday as well. He also owns a 3rd gen. We were able to get each done in about 20 minutes each. It's fairly easy. Let me know when you get yours and I can help you install it.

 

Barcelona red FTW

 

Well I guess that means I’m buying it now!

Send a pic of yours!

And, RJ, you can call me Frank! Panchito was a childhood nickname and a fun screen name.

 

First post. It still needs some kicks but had to swallow the cost of the bumper, lift, rock sliders, 4/5 rims (sooooon I’m hoping...) and a CMC first. Not stoked about having a car payment for the first time, but after losing my first gen, I had to move into the future.
Used the generous insurance payout to grab the only decent used trim level in town, but am not into the double cab, short bed or gasp color, but it’s growing on me
