    If all goes according to plan, I’ll be picking up my new (to me) 2015 black double cad long bed SR5 tomorrow morning.
    I’m looking forward to having some serious fun!

    Thanks, rust was the first thing I asked about. It didn’t have perforations and they did the sealer and plugs. I’m hoping that’s all it needs.

    So the original owner spray painted the alloy wheels black and it’s chipping off. I found a local guy that is selling a set of take-offs from a 2020 for $375 without sensors. Should I go for it? Can I use the sensors from the original rims?

    or should I save up for some nicer aftermarket rims?

    Depends on what you think you're going to do with the truck. Personally, I'd just live with it or respray until I found an upgrade vs wasting the money, but to each his own.

    You’re probably right, but damn, they are ugly.

    :rofl:Well that's why they're spray painted. Seriously I'd just save your money for something a bit more permanent.
