    Ya I'm about 30 mind north of BPT but I think @tgriff is the closed in Seymour I believe or actually maybe @bucktales I know he's down south. I see a couple nice 2nd gens in the Bristol area and one or 2 in Waterbury area

    Hey guys! I posted a while back but forgot about this thread and I never received a notification on messages.

    I picked up my 2017 last Monday and love it so far. DCLB OR in Quicksand from Torrington Toyota, ordered it end of April. Ordered TRD Pro wheels from the 4R and some 265/70/17 KO2s that i will be mounting sometime later this week or weekend. Any suggestions on places that are reasonable and won't damage the wheels? I'm from a Plainville and don't have a car commute for work but I always keep an eye out for other Tacos on the road. I look forward to a camping trip once it's planned!

    Tan & green two tone? Sounds like mixing milk & Pepsi. Each on their own is great but when mixed together... Not so much. Just my opinion which doesn't mean much to anyone (except me).

    Hahaha ya definitely I couldn't agree more I was just joshin, I actually saw a guy that had his truck vinyl wrapped one solid color and it looked really good also it's a loooottttt cheaper than actually painting and it's a lot more durable/tough and to to mention probably the protection aspect for the body from rust. It's got me considering it for sure BUT I'm not sure how it would look in the spruce color cause I don't think you can do the metal flake effect on the vinyl l.. RESEARCH TIME

    I have these kb voodoo high rise bars, for use without or over a tonneau cover. These are made to go with his side rail caps and won't fit with stock plastic side rail caps. These can also be used to mount tools and hi lift jack using quick fists or nuts and bolts. They can be used without the cross bars. I won't use them so if anyone in CT wants a set or all of them hit me up

    I use thule crossbars on a universal rail. it's a decent setup but the tonneau cover can't roll up without taking the bars off first. it looks like you could easily roll up a tonneau cover under these.

    what are you looking to get for them?
