2013 I dont know what im doing edition TRD

Picked up a 2013 TRD Sport and been doing some work on it here and there to make it feel less like an appliance.

 

Basically a totally stock rig minus the wheels and the Snugtop canopy on it

 

The lower headlamp trim was missing when I bought the vehicle so I installed one after I painted it and hit it with clear. The color looks off due to the vehicle being dirty.

 

Took it up to the mountains to use as a ski rig and it performed very well. I did have to drive through a bunch of fog and using the stock fog lights seemed to be completely pointless so I will have to do something about that

 

Threw in some EBAY level LED lights that are way better than stock, Was not going to spend 400$ for the baja design yellow led fogs so i got these for 100$ on ebay and they look rad and also perform way better than stock

 

Also I have a TRD pro grill to install but I also ordered a new grill trim surround in Super White II so I can delete the chrome. I have done some more basic stuff to the truck to make it more functional and will post those soon

 

That’s an awesome looking rig! I really love what you’ve done with it. Nice and simple.

 

Check out Tacomabeast.com
Pricy things. But I have had great luck and quality stuff there
Got my head lights and tail lights from them and I went with Cali raised LED fogs
Look at red line hood struts also

 

Nice work!

I spotted the M12 ratchet.
One of the best purchases I’ve made.
I love mine.

 

Nice, still love my 2013. How much on the odo?

 

Good work so far!

 

Does it have a rear factory elocker?

(Color matched mirrors and door handles + hood skewp.... but chrome grill.... but color matched rear bumper.... needless to say I am confused on what it actually is as far as TRD as that combination was never a thing from the factory)

 

I thought the same thing..

 

If it was an SR5, the previous owner went through LOTS of work to get color matched goodies, and a skewped hood. Me thinks maybe its a TRD sport that had something mess up the grill at some point that the previous owner replaced with a chrome grill surround.

Either way. Good lookin truck!

 

Yeah that’s so true. Probably found the chrome grill replacement for a ton cheaper and went that route

 

But you’re right. Solid looking truck!

 

youre correct, the truck was in a front end collision and had that grill replaced.

 

It’s going to look badass with white surround and the pro grill

 

Nice progress. Truck looks great

 

I'm excited to see how this turns out. I am about to do the same chrome deleted on the grill on my 2013. Where did you get the pro grill from? I see them on eBay, but not sure what kind of quality they are. I love the Empyre offroad grill I have on my truck now, but it's starting to rust and I don't want to deal with removing it to clean up and installing it again on a different grill surround.
