Lunar Rock Gen III Thread

Yavin4 · Feb 20, 2023

Originally liked the lunar rock but was aiming for a forest green or sand color. These got discontinued 2023 and went for lunar instead. Just couldn't get on board with the new floresent orange or lime green. Haven't seen many in the wild tho.

We just picked up a topper for our truck, super stoked on how ita turning out.

Anyone else struggling with what wheels to pair with LR? I dont care for bronze, black seems washed out with black tires, machined seems to flashy, lost. I keep going back to TE37X's in black diamond but that gonna cost, lol.

Actually decided to go with white, specifically the Analog HD. Still looking for tires to get it all installed tho.

@Yavin4, white is definitely a change from the typical black or bronze. Should look good with the Lunar Rock!

My office manager called my truck green today, and I took that personally.

I usually call it a “sage grey” when describing it to people.

Hello All,
Just bought my 23' TRD off-road in Lunar rock, had to drive from West Palm Beach to Detroit to get it as no dealers seem to have any Tacomas and ones
that do in Florida trying to play that $5000 market adjustment scam.

I had a Tesla model Y from February 2022 and traded it in on this Tacoma and had a 2012 F250 crewbab super duty diesel for 7 years 2014-2022 that had
a 6" lift with 37" tires, EGR and DPF delete, with Mini Maxi delete tuner

My plans for this are a 3" lift suspension system including UCA and OME leaf springs with 17" rims on 33" tires most likely 11-11.5 wide and replacing front bumper
with a high clearance steel bumper with winch capacity.
Im going with heavy duty OME leafs as I wan to ability to tow or have a camper shell during winter not into overland camping as traditional camping is good enough for me

So far I added the KD Max tune at 1376 miles and I removed the door edge guards.
I plan on removing the TRD 4X4 graphics on the rear bed and the V6 emblem on the gate and adding the pro series heritage grille, I was going to remove the tacoma
name badge on the doors but I don't mind it blacked out so keeps for now.

Showroom at Suburban Toyota in Troy Michigan

About 2 hours into ownership on my way back to Florida in Toledo, Ohio at famous Tony Packo's restaurant, if you ever watched the Tv show MASH the character Klinger
was from Toledo and always talked about Tony Packo's great hotdogs. I would snow off and on from 7pm till 1am when I threw in the towel and got a hotel room
in Beaver Falls, PA on my way towards the Philadelphia region

I decided to visit Family and friends outside Philly on my way back down to Florida and took my dad to get a cheesesteak, h e is 84 years old and only has had cheesesteaks from Pat's
(in the background) I turned to the dark side (Geno's Steaks) a few years ago from prompting of my brother to try.

Philadelphia to Florida via I-95 is mostly uneventful, you can venture off 95 and see DC capitol highlights, or Baltimore if you are a noob but I've done this drive over
20 times in my adult years so yeah its a bit boring now.

So I read about beaches you could drive on and since I was staying the night in Raleigh, NC on my way south making Cape Hatteras very much out of the way I decided on
the drive on beaches of St. Augustine, FL

I do professional photography on the side of my main job and stayed in Cocoa Beach overnight to shoot the SpaceX launch so here is where I parked setting up for the launch

end result of the Launch photo session

And happy at home along the Jupiter beachfront while I went for a jog

This has got to be the best “off the showroom floor drive home” post in the history of forums! What a great trip home.

Just a Sunday drive.

Doing some steep climbs. 2Lo mod came in handy when climbing up curvy tracks. Kept it nice and smooth. No drama.

Nice! Since you bought from out of state did that dealer give you the run around about being a out of state buyer? The reason I ask is because I inquired about a white off road with the manual tranny they have listed. They told me they would not sell me the truck unless I could come up with a friends address from MI. What a bullshit deal. I have bought many vehicles from out of state and never had a problem. I ended up securing a yet to be built LR DC off road with a manual yesterday, so all is good.
