"THE ORIGINAL" 2023 TACOMA TRD PRO COLOR "SOLAR OCTANE" THREAD

Went by the local Toyota dealer today to pick up some parts...They had a used 2023 Solar Orange 4Runner in the show room right by the tall windows....This color is soo bad ass in natural light. Friday can't get here soon enough.

 

So you're the reason we can't find those at the stores!

 

Actually yes, my kids and I hunt them. But we leave them on tacos around our town . They have to be modified, clean, or just good looking. We really have no set rule. But I always have about 4 to 6 in my console.

If you live in Fort Collins. You have a higher chance of one on your windshield then in the store. They are 9 and 11.

 

Are those actual sliders that bolt to the frame or bolt to the body? I like that they look like they dont stick out as far as others and get in the way

 

I'm likely to cancel my TRD pro 6 speed order and request a return of my deposit today.

Please PM me if you are interested in taking my slot and I'll pass along your contact info to the sales dude at Naples Toyota.

Please see deal attached.

If anyone interested, Toyota of Naples, contact:

 

That’s a good deal for someone in south Florida.

G2.M6. That’s a pretty cool thing you do with your kids.

They bolt to the frame. Each slider uses 6 bolts. They have photos of a fork lift picking up a taco by the slider. They also come without a traction pad. But I recommend the traction pad. In my case it breaks up snow and ice back splash. In a warm wet climate it would prevent mud spray. This is how they look without the step plate (my old baby). The "sticking out" you mention is partially design. But most slider manufacturers make two types. 5 degree and 20 degree. Mine are 20 degree (true sliders) most cheaper sliders are 5 degree. More like a step bar which is 0 degrees. The higher the angle the more "slide" and yes, the lower over all profile. But they are not level, not even close. I don't step on it ever. At 20 degrees even with the pad, it's slick and award

She’s a thing of beauty

 

Night time shot next to my brother’s RAV4 TRD Off Road.

 

Nice picture. Love the contrast between the two vehicles and the way the solar octane pops in that lighting.

 

Congrats

 

I think I am afraid of these wild colors because, even though they look terrific now, my mind says this is what it will look like in 10 years:

so…you know, I just went with gray

 

Same green that wasn't as neglected. EVERY color will look like crap in a decade or two if it's not cared for at all.

 

You picked the car, not me.

 

We only have to like it for a year or two. The resale is ridiculous. Buy truck at msrp, sell truck with 12 k at msrp.

 

Joined the Solar Octane club this morning. Pictures don’t do this color justice at all

 

Looks sweet! Did they get rid of the Pro door badge?

 

There is a stamp on the bed
