AK 2014 TRD Offroad S/C

What are you doing with the wheels that you just took off?

 

Awesome truck man! How are you liking the 6 speed? I test drove one the other day after hearing some negatives about it and i didn't find it to be that bad....but for long term daily driving how is it?

 

I love that wheel and tire combo. Did you go with loadrange E or C for the tires? I've been considering them mainly because they're the only ones I can find in C and since mine mostly sees the road these days I'm thinking that's what I'm going with.

 

Have them in my garage right now with the stock bfg rugged trails on them. Was planning on throwing them on Craig's list.

Thank you sir! I love the 6 speed. I've owned a few sports cars, modded cars, driven plenty more and yeah it's no short shift gear slammin hot rod but I don't have any problems what so ever with it. It took a little concentration at first to find the sweet spots of where it likes to be shifted but by a few thousand miles I don't have a single rough or clunky shift any more unless I'm reaalllllly not paying attention. I heard all the negatives about it before I purchased as well and after driving both I hated the automatic significantly more than manual. Granted I'm a little bias because I knew I wanted a supercharged stick but I couldn't be happier with my choice.

Thanks man I appreciate it! I really like it as well. Today as I pulled into the freeway I had a guy In a giant jacked up newer tundra in the fast lane hang half way out his window to take a pic of my truck as he rolled by hahah.

The duratracs are load C. I went with C for the smoother ride, less weight since I wanted to keep performance and mpg as high as I could. And with discount tires lifetime replacement deal there's not really any worries of puncturing one on a trail other than the pain in the ass.


Here's a couple more pics I snapped today.





And one of my other ride I get to enjoy since it was so beautiful out.

 

An access cab spruce mica must be pretty rare! Especially up here in AK Plus its a TRD Off Road, you've got yourself a gem right there. And you're not in AK right now are you? Wherever that weather is it must be nice!

 

It is pretty rare! Now if only I could find an equally rare trd sport to trade hoods with Id be set... No I'm not in AK right now, I moved down to Olympia Washington for a little bit for some flight training. Weather has been pretty great really other than the lack of snow.

 

Color matched mirrors and door handles too

 

Shhhhhhh! My wallets hurting as is. I've almost bought the mirrors a few times but just couldn't pull the trigger. Although I did get in on the front bumper winch mount group buy so I have one of those en route. Some wet okoles, weathertechs, and a bestop and I might call it good. Unless I can get a good deal on a small lift. I have minor rubbing that I'd like to get rid of.

 

Nice build man, I'm jealous of your S/C! How do you like the Fairbanks area? I'm PCSing up there at the end of next year. Super excited!
