Save the Manuals! TRD Pro MT6 build

After checking out the new Broncsplorer and other offerings, I landed at a Toyota dealer looking for a TRD Pro with a stick. And subsequently drove a '24 TRD OR (with the slushbox) back to back with this white beauty, a '22 TRD Pro with 6MT and barely 15k miles. I was hooked.



First thing I wanted was bigger tires. I can't believe the factory, even on a TRD Pro, is only a 265 16" rim. Since I'm not going to be doing much, if any off-roading, a simple 2" leveling kit from Rough Country fit the bill. A friend helped me install and while the front was tougher than either of us thought it would be (he's literally done a dozen lifts on his trucks), front and back completed in about 6 working hours.


Next day was wheels and tires from Discount Tire. Method MR703 wheels, 17x9, gunmetal grey with a new tire from Goodyear - Wrangler Duratrac RT 285/65/17 . I really love how the grey works with the white body. Discount Tire was great, btw.

Post lift I added some steps from GoRhino and because of the scuffs on the door sills even with a low mileage example, I ordered the Tufskinz appliques in grey to match the wheels. Looks awesome and easy to install.

Also some other niceties like LED bulbs for interior and reverse lights and the Tufskinz cupholder and console inserts because $DEITY Toyota used some cheap-@$$ loud plastic for that stuff. And a seriously game-changing modification that I have done in other vehicles, the B&M short shifter. Highly recommended.


Still need a few other bits like a tonneau and the popnlock.

So that's my truck so far. Loving it every day.

And like my grandmother always said, if you can't say something nice then don't say anything.

 

Nice ride! Good luck.
