TR's Build Plan - 2013 TRD Sport DCSB

Here's what I have done...

USB relocate to console
WeatherTech mats and flaps
TRD Cat Back Exhaust
TRD Centercaps
Neoprene front seat covers
Lower grille valance painted black (was gray)
Installed two ezload thru axle MTB rail mount bike racks



Here's my build plan - feedback appreciated

The truck was purchased in anticipation of a relocation back to the New England area where most of the 4WD action will be snowy mountain roads and muddy camp roads.

1. Satoshi grille - having a real hard time finding a source as my truck is a 13
2. Behind the grille lights - looking for something to use as moose spotters as my trips up north involve LOTS of moose sightings
3. Bilstein 5100's all around adjusted to level front end
4. Avid off road light bar
5. Wheel and tire upgrade - no lift other than the front end level

6. remove bedside TRD stickers

The above items are definite, just waiting to hear about the relo and trying to source a Satoshi.

I am leaning towards the FJ TRD wheels, not sure about tires. If we end up back in New England I will probably use the wheel upgrade just in the winter months and mud season, so November through June 1 and keep the sport wheels for summer time pavement use.

Other items being considered

- Stereo upgrade - this is a pretty big need, just not sure which way to go
- TRD Supercharger - thought this would make the Taco more driveable in the mountains and when towing
- Rear plate bumper for increased durability when backing into snow banks, trailers or getting rear ended by texting teens at low speed...

That is about it for now. What would be a good Mud and snow tire for use just in the winter months?

 

Completed the horn relocate, transmission cooler relocate and sprayed the radiator with high temp black paint.....now I just need to figure out how to Satoshi my grille,.....
