Tacocopter’s Utilitarian SR

Hello everyone!
It’s been a while since I’ve made a post in here and quite a lot has happened. I moved to MD, work on the F-35 now, and have just this morning traded in my 1st gen for a few pennies to buy this ice cap ‘22 SR with the utility package. It was a fleet truck with just under 30k, so it has a few scuffs and dings, but it is going to be a great DD and runner for around town.

I plan on doing a few QOL improvements and getting it exactly how I want. I’m thinking of lowering the truck since it is 2WD, wrapping it a gloss dark green, and eventually doing some wheels and tires. Look forward to learning more about the 3rd Gen and enjoying this truck for as long as I had my first gen.

Current:
Remote start and Keyless kit to add key fobs (on the way)

Future:
SOS Performance Lowering kit
Avery Gloss Dark Green Wrap
SCS wheels?
Headlight bulb upgrade
TRD Grille
Speaker upgrades Subaru tweeters, Kicker Door speakers
Subwoofer, likely a 10" hideaway under the seat
Fog lights using Nitori's thread

Nice! I love the access cab and really wanted one but there were none around with the V6 when bought mine in December. So...those wheels look CHROME...is that true?

 

They appear to be chrome steel wheels. I am not sure of the quality of that chrome, but they are stock. Not V6 unfortunately, but that wasn’t a deal breaker for me.

 

I have the steels on mine as well. I actually like them. In some ways I am a minimalist.

 

I think they just might be covers. I didn’t pay too much attention other than checking tire tread, as I plan on replacing them anyway

 

Got my speakers, as well as a remote start/ key fob add on from Acessorides.

Install went well and everything works. Sound improvement is really great for about $150.






Something I noticed that I’m not a fan of, and may need to find a fix for was that the passenger door had a ton of water intrusion. It looks like the window wiper seal doesn’t meet up to the front corner and allowed all the rain we had to get into the door.




Anyone seen this before, and know of a good fix? I was thinking I could get some RTV to seal that up if there isn’t an option for a better seal.

 

Hello! Sorry to revive an old thread but I just picked up a 2016 SR Utility and was interested in the fender flares you have. My biggest dilemma is that I am currently on the stock steelies and will eventually get bigger wheels, but for the time being will the flares stick out too much and make the truck look awkward? Also if that is the rough country fenders are they pretty close in color to the unpainted bumper?
