Newbie/First New Truck

Hi, everyone. I got my '14 TRD Offroad a few months ago, and thought I would say hello. It's my first new vehicle, and of course, I love it. I had a '95 4Runner and a '93 Pickup previously, and loved them as well. Sold the '93 with 265,000 on it and it still ran flawlessly. Hated to part with it, but needed more room (got a double cab). I have done a few mods, and now that I have been looking at TW posts, I am seriously afraid for my bank account. Lots of great trucks on here!

Mods:

3" Revtek lift
Ultra Worx Beast Wheels
Goodyear Duratracs
Wet Okole's
Husky Liners
Debadged
Blacked out grill
Husky tool box

 

NIIIIICE truck man! Congrats on it. Welcome to TW. Looks great! How do you like your Duratracs so far? I have the same tires and I love them.

 

Thanks! Super happy with the Duratracs so far. Perform well and look good, in my opinion. I've had BFG AT's and MT's in the past, and so far I like these better. Your truck looks great-gonna have to check your build thread...

 

Welcome to TW! Good looking pup and truck!

Duratracs FTMFW!!

 

Thanks! Best dog in the world!

 

That's a lot of locations! You should be able to put up some good pictures as you have the adventures.

Enjoy!

 

Welcome aboard! Great looking truck!!!!!

 

Nice man! I totally agree with you. Great tires. Just got back a couple weeks ago from a big trip that I did and the truck performed very well. Those tires got me through some pretty difficult trails. Yeah man lots of pictures on there please do check it out.

 

Nice truck man. Did you black out the grill yourself?

 

Thanks, CalTaco! I did black out the grill; just spray paint. But I like it so much more that way.
Schmellmopwho--great build thread! Looks like you had an awesome trip to some great places. Great fabrication job, too! Love those sliders.

 

CowboyTaco-where are you in North Texas? Where do you go offroading there? Not enough open space for me down there. I am from Kaufman originally. I spent a few years in Colorado and then California. In Oregon for now, but you never know.

 

Nice seat covers, how much did they run you? Did you also do the back seat, if so do you have any pictures? I've been interested in getting a set. Overall nice looking truck!

 

I think it looks awesome. Mine is white as well with the chrome and I really like the blacked out better. Was it pretty easy as far as getting it off and back on?

 

Thanks, Mike. I am really happy with the seat covers, and I think they look amazing. I did front and rear; will see if I can get you a couple shots of the rear. I think the total was roughly $750. Not cheap, but I think the quality and appearance are worth it.

 

It was really easy. If you just pop the hood and take a peek, you'll see. Off and on in a few minutes. The only issue is chipping in a few spots, but I would rather have that and retouch it than look at chrome every day.

 

Right on man, thanks. Yeah the chrome is one of the very few things I didn't about my truck. Easy fix though. Did you do the rear bumper yet or plan to?

 

I'm in the DFW area. I've been wanting to check out Bridgeport. I don't go "wheeling" as people on here like to call it. I mostly drive offroad at our hunting spot, but that's all private land.

It's not so much that there isn't open space...we have plenty of that. The problem is that it's all private. There isn't enough public use land.

 

I am thinking I will powder coat the rear bumper and the tool box. I would like something along the lines of a Body Armor bumper, but don't think I can justify the expense right now. I know someone who powder coated his, and I think it looks pretty good.

 

Right. Not enough public lands. Number one reason I don't live there. I need my space!

 

Nice photos
