Blue Crush Metallic Thread

@ejracine , I probably said it before but I will say it again, beautiful Blue Crush with the long bed. I will be picking up my Offroad long bed next week. It arrived at the shop today but it needs to go through inspection before I can pick it up. I got a good deal from a Toyota dealer I had never purchased from before. But today I also received an email from my car salesman at my regular dealer letting me know that they have a blue crush long bed sport, just like yours up for grabs! Pricing is pretty similar for both trucks. Its good to see that we are starting to see options again! Looking forward to officially joining the blue crush team next week!

 

man that truck looks good wish i had your hood

 

Officially joined the Blue Crush team on Wednesday May 3rd!

First mods were made the day I picked up the truck, the OEM heritage grille (pro style with the bronze lettering), and OEM TRD PRO taillights (first picture).

Second mod was made the next day after I picked up the truck. Lift and tires. Bilstein 6112s front (highest setting) and 1 inch block in the rear. OEM TRD sema matte gray wheels with 285s BFG KO2s. Second picture.

Third day of mods, predator steps, TRD skid plate, OEM black exhaust tip, and OEM TRD shift knob. Second picture.

Three days of owning and got all of the current mods done right at 100 miles! Third picture.

Note, all of the current mods were on my 22 Barcelona Red that was totaled back in March. Luckily I was able to remove all of the items before the insurance took the truck. The other Barcelona Red in the background of current pictures belongs to my dad. We now have Red, White, and Blue Tacos in the Family!

Next to come, front windows tint (hopefully next week considering the warm weather in AZ). I will then wait for a memorial day sale to upgrade my headlights to the OEM pro.

 

Very nice. A full on Tacoma house there. I like the heritage grill too. And you got the 6' bed extra nice. I got my 1,000 break-in oil change today and switched to the TRD oil filter. I had a small crowd of people come check out my tacoma at the dealership. They've not seen one in Blue Crush until today. Around here they mostly get white, silver, mag. grey, black and occasionally a red.

I get the 3M film on the front clip next week. They one piece wrap the hood, fenders, bumper, a-pillars, mirrors and put in the door cups. Only place i'll have the film line is on the top of the a-pillar. The hood, fenders, and bumper are completely covered in the film. Here in CO they like to use crushed granite as road gravel. You can imagine what that does to a paint job. Think rough sand blasting job. So the clear 3M film saves many paint jobs.

I'm waiting on a custom left switch panel from Meso Custom. Then i can installed my recessed light bar under the front grill. It goes in that open spot just above the bumper, below the grill, and between the fog lights. I'm out of switch ports. I ordered one with two extra ports. Then I'll have a spare port for whatever.

PS - don't forget to get your BCM touch up paint. Since your trucks are up a bit, perhaps you think about getting catalytic converter shields. I got a stainless steel one from miller cat.

 

Best color to come out recently

 

Just picked up my 6th 3rd gen Tacoma.

 

Enjoy!

 

Nice,
I am told my TRD Sport 6MT should be in May 15-20, fingers crossed.

 

Any TSS issues after installing the new OEM grill? Also, love RWL tires!

 

No TSS issues. I'm happy to see group members liking the look of the white lettering. I'm in my mid-thirties and some younger buddies make me feel old because I prefer the look of the RWL. LOL

 

I put my name in for a 2023 TRDOR DCLB Blue Crush with the tech package a month ago. It should be built in the next couple weeks. I can't wait.

Gonna trade in my 21 Barcelona red TRDOR DCSB for it. Bonus is it already has Motegi bronze wheels on it, so those are swapping onto long blue!

 

it will look great with the bronze wheels make sure you post it when she comes in and also congrats

 

Well happy people. It's official. Blue Crush Metallic will be one of the starting colors for the 2024 Gen4 Tacoma. Regardless of the rumors, no V6 option in the Gen4, all 4cyl turbo. I do like they changed the power plug in the bed from 400w to 2400w (hybrid only). You also now get a 12v and two usb plugs in the bed. The bed it a bit deeper too. They made the interior a bit bigger but you loose some of the cool storage cubbies. I'm glad I ended up with a Gen3 Tacoma.

 

The white lettering looks great IMO.

 

Well...been a busy two days. Installed recessed 32" light bar (CaliRasied Combo Light bar), under the hood engine bay lights, a sub panel in the engine bay, and a custom printed left panel. My factory panel was out of switch spots.

 

I was like "Wait a minute, I know that town!" Never seen that truck in Woodstock or Shenandoah County though.

 

Could you provide details on the wheels and tires you used here? Looks fantastic!

 

Just retired my 2019 TRD Offroad as my 2023 TRD Sport 6MT has landed, Blue Crush wasn't my first choice. I really wanted the Lunar Rock, I will admit the Blurple is growing on me. I decide on this time to go with the Diamondback cover as we all know the Toyota plastic tri-fold leaks rain and melting snow real bad. Still need to install the black TRD wheels.

 

My 2022 TRD OR

 

Real nice. This thing looks ready for some serious business. I like the TRD badge on the grill and the rims. Saw a new 5' bed version of my TRD sport in my area last night. It was BCM.
