    Had a pro comp lift and camper shell when purchased, led bed lights. Trd pro style grille. Just getting started.
    Hello everybody, I recently picked up a black 16 trd sport access cab (wanted a desert tan crew cab but im poor). While I'm not new to vehicles or modding at all, I am new to toyota and somewhat new to truck modding. I've gotten a lot of help from this forum already so I decided to join up as I'll probably need lots more. The truck had a few mods already when purchased such as k&n intake, magnaflow exhaust, lifted with a pro comp kit, mickey thompson wheels and nitto ridge grapplers, are camper shell (which I need painted to match truck). I swapped the grille out for the trd pro style and added some lights in the bed, also have running boards on the way. But plan to just keep doing till I run out of room. It is my daily but id like to do a light overland type set up as I like to get out and fish when I can. Located in north carolina so if anyone is local feel free to say hi. I'm not usually this long winded so I'll wrap this up. Thanks for having me.20211019_171725.jpg 20210925_191405.jpg

    Grill looks nice and the camper adds an outline contrast. Thanks for the pics.

    Welcome! What part of NC as it's a wide state.

    You might want to consider vinyl wrapping the camper shell as I think it could be fairly cost effective if you did it yourself. There's a slight learning curve but a dozen youtube videos oughta get you up to speed.

    Welcome! I'm from mooresville which is right down the street. I'm currently in college in Greenville though.

    I'm trying to get rid of my 2017-19 TRD Pro taillights if you want them. They're mint. I only had them in for a few months before I decided to upgrade again
