    E rating because that’s what they had in stock. It was $789 + tax installed for the tires.

    Did a few mods over the weekend. Added the TRD Pro Grille and WeatherTech mats. Still undecided if I want to add the garnish for TSS.

    Does anyone else covet parking spots like this?
    850199-EF-AA5-F-4-A1-B-A2-BB-72-A06337-D_7fb0dd3de425dbf5a9a18b215a03df430b817254.jpg


    ...I also ordered the Decked storage system and RCI sliders/skid plates. It. Has. Begun.



    Also, help me decide - which off road camper do I "need"?

    Boreas XT?
    0-BD7-D675-C7-E1-4-C8-A-BAFA-40-CC21240-_b7212cfffce0b90aad5e17cb871dee336d422ace.jpg


    ...Or Timberleaf Off Road?
    20-E2-C7-EE-C782-45-FE-9977-674-EC0-E8-D_d9271eba643f80702132ee12d92b878f9e359134.jpg


    Pricing is about the same. The Boreas is a great bang-for-your-buck and comes loaded with features. Probably the more capable of the two. Also heavier.

    But the Timberleaf is a work of art.

    @bigwill837 who'd you end up getting the pro grille from? I'm looking at Cali Raised right now but unsure because of TSS and pricing. I have the same truck. Nice work so far!

    Thanks! I ordered a Genuine Toyota 2016 -2017 grille off of EBay (toyota_scion_south). Same for the wiring extension harness and garnish. I just searched by Toyota part number (2016/2017 Grill =
    $281 PT228-35170 Toyota Genuine Parts - TRD Pro Grill Tacoma (PT228-35170)
    PT228-35170; Harness = 88214-04020; Garnish =
    $365 53141-35060 Genuine OEM
    53141-35060) on EBay, then looked at the most reputable sellers with the best price.

    I used this writeup (which is excellent) for install: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/2018-trd-pro-grille-w-tss-p-radar-info-diy.530769/

    ...out of curiosity, what size tires are you running? Did you have to do UCAs? Cab chop? Diff drop?

    Which Dakar leaf pack did you use? New or old design? "Heavy" duty or "Light" duty?

    Welcome! I have a trd sport in silver and will be doing the same grille and wheel upgrades as you. Do you have any rubbing with your tire setup?

    Nope, no rubbing. It is my understanding that 265/70/17 is the largest tire you can fit on stock Off Road Bilsteins without rubbing.

    1) running 265/75/16 KO2 tires. They’re 31.5 inches in diameter and thus 1 inch bigger then stock. However the same width so I didn’t need a cab chop and could use stock rims. The extra 1.5 inches from a 33 inch tire wasn’t worth the hassle of new rims and a chop to me.

    2) only lifted 2 inches in front so was able to get correct alignment without new UCA. Didn’t do a diff drop either, not certain if it’s needed or not

    3) I used the EL096R heavy Dakar pack since I load up the rear. With just the diamondback cover it’s a 1.75 inch rake though, which is stretching it.

    But yea, for 3K you can get legit shocks, improved leaf springs and tires. Awesome bang for the buck!

    Been a busy week!

    Installed RCI sliders and skids. OEM mud flaps. And a new Decked system! Really excited about the Decked setup!

    Tons of room for all my recovery gear, tools, straps, and Viair compressor.

    I might add some of their Decked accessories (tool boxes, tie downs, etc).


    Hood/bedside graphics next!
