    I just got mine in San Diego and have been seeing a few on the road. I know of a 2012 or 13 pyrite at a private dealer down here as well.

    Well, I mentioned I was getting one. Here's the truck as I picked it up in North Carolina, and then here's today out with all mods removed, and some new wheels/tires added along with a few other choice things. Bilstein 5100's and some other stuff will be next. I'm completely new to trucks--what I know are Subarus so expect many import tuning elements to wind up on my truck w/ a bit of baja flare.

    I'll be starting up a journal soon. I haven't even got it inspected locally haha... still rocking my temp plate and the mods have begun. ;)

    Mods so far:

    *FN Wheels Mag Blue 16x8 +0 countersteer type x
    *Toyo RT 265/75/16
    *Classic "TOYOTA" matte black rear sticker
    *90's style "Toyota Sport" stickers for the bed sides. I may remove these and go larger in same design.
    *Tonneau cover removed, pin stripe removed, debadged, side steps removed, mud flaps removed.

    How do you guys describe the color to someone like "I'll be driving a Tacoma that's .... in color"?

    Fool's Gold :thumbsup:

    Edit: The mineral pyrite, or iron pyrite, also known as fool's gold, is an iron sulfide with the chemical formula FeS2. This mineral's metallic luster and pale brass-yellow hue give it a superficial resemblance to gold, hence the well-known nickname of fool's gold. The color has also led to the nicknames brass, brazzle, and Brazil, primarily used to refer to pyrite found in coal

    Oooo I like that winch setup--that it blends nicely into the stock bumper. What is it? Thx.

    EDIT: Reading is fundamental. I noticed you have it on your mod list.
