2016 DCSB 4x4 Off Road in Inferno + Mods

Because I wanted to sell them complete. No matter what I try, I cannot program the TPMS. I took the stock sensor ID's and tried to load them in and it fails. So I don't know. I received a revised part number of 42607-04010 from my purchasing dealer.

No rubbing at all - plenty of clearance.

 

Sex on wheels!

My build on the Toyota site is same but the TRD wheels are the dark grey

Are you seling your first gen Tacoma in the driveway?

 

Thanks. I thought about the dark grey wheels but since the trim is black, I thought this would look better. The grey wheels look great on white and black though. This combo balanced up great, no shakes, wobbles or vibrations. Gotta love OEM parts.

Yes - I'm going to sell my 2002 Tacoma 4x4 Doublecab Limited TRD. It has every option including the Sunroof, no accidents, no paint work and is in nice shape. Less than 80k miles too with new tires, timing belt, water pump, new battery, navigation, etc!

Pic of the ole girl. I took these wheels/tires off and went back to stock since they rubbed a little bit. I also have a complete supercharger kit, URD 7th injector and a full OME lift kit to sell. Supercharger has 5k (never on this truck) and the OME + Camburg UCA's are all brand new, never installed from Wheelers.

 

Yeah the moonroof caught my eye. I am sure you will ask a pretty penny for it

 

Replaced the Morimoto 4500k bulbs with 5500k. They do match the Morimoto LED Fogs better but not perfectly. The 4500k bulbs are better quality. They fit much more tightly than the 5500k. I also had to swap the bulb wiring harness since the connector was different. I also installed some of their no-name LED amber turn signal lights in the front. They are switchbacks, but I'm only using the amber portion. They work great, brighter than stock and only $20.

 

Probably $16k.

 

Yeah I was guessing 15k so right there

 

New Toyota All Weather Liners installed. These were thrown in as part of the deal. I also added LED reverse lights, LED license plate lights and LED turn signals. All of them work great!

 

Ordered up the OEM bed mat, Extang Trifecta in Vinyl and a cargo divider. I wasn't going to add a bed cover, but I think for the price of around $365 shipped, it's worth it. I was thinking Retrax Pro, but honestly this will serve the purpose, people seem to like them and it can be removed very quickly. Also added LED backup lights and LED license plate lights. I have LED brake/tail bulbs on the way and then all of the exterior lighting will be updated. I'm not messing with the interior lighting due to a number of people having issues.




I got the front turn signal and backup bulbs from TRS in their clearance section. Both are very bright and work great.

 

Just my luck - received LED bulbs for the taillights. Bought one pack from Amazon new, and the other was from their Warehouse deals. Both showed up together (same box) and the Warehouse Deals package has a bulb which doesn't work. Hit it with my Power Probe and it's dead. FREAKIN AMAZON!

So I move on to the OEM bed mat which also showed up today. I got one from the Warehouse Deals as well for like $65 shipped. Ordered the short bed version, open it up and it's a damn LONG BED mat. Are you kidding me? Screwed twice in one night by Amazon and they didn't even buy me dinner first.

The good news is the Putco LED's I picked are plenty bright and work well with the LED front turn signals with no hyper flash or resistors needed. I'll post pics when/if Amazon makes this right. I have been burned twice before by Warehouse Deals, let a year go by, tried it again and burned again. No more. I bought a TIG welder last year that had been sold FOUR times. It was so destroyed that it was beyond funny. They just kept shipping it over and over, with the prior customer's info in the box. Had I plugged it into a 50 amp plug, I probably would have been electrocuted. WTF?!?

 

I wanted a trd off road in either Inferno or Quick sand. Around our region to get either one when I was looking last week on order would of taken 90 to 120 days and that was calling 4 dealers within 4 states and 400 miles from me. There was a trd sport 4 x 4 in quick sand one got in and I went ahead and got it. Kind of wish id of still just ordered and waited 4 months to get the off road but I don't really think I will ever need the crawl control but would of liked having it all. Oh well really like the truck either way. Your truck looks great!!

 

I am in the same boat as you

Interesting that most of us go inferno vs sand

I wouldn't consider any other one

 

Fixed TPMS sensors (PMV-C015 for those who need them). Installed the Extang Trifecta vinyl bed cover. I went cheap since I've never had a bed cover on a truck before and I wanted to see if it was something I'd like or not. I also wanted something easy to remove and light weight - this achieves both of those goals. So far, so good. It leaks some water but I can see why. The seals don't fully come into contact with each other where the sections fold, so I'm going to try and modify it a bit to solve that issue.

I also installed LED front and rear turn signals plus brake lights. Unfortunately I get a random hyper-flash issue only on the right side, so I have some load resistors on the way.

Waiting on the AMP black bed extender and then I'm pretty much done besides doing something with the grille.

 

What was the model number and wattage for backup LED?

With that said, I no longer support TRS. They sent me defective H11B bulbs and want me to "destroy" one (I can't tell which bulb is actually good, but the beam pattern is not the same side to side and the issue swaps sides when I switch the bulbs). I asked them to replace both bulbs, but they wouldn't and said they would send a single bulb after I destroy one of them. That means I have to undo all of my dressed in wiring, switch to the original 4500k bulbs, and swap the wiring after destroying one of the bulbs (of which I don't know which one is bad). So with that said, I can't recommend them. They are slow to respond and seem uninterested in resolving an issue without impacting the customer, especially considering the bulb is the cheapest part of the equation in their solution. They also state the bulbs fit loose because of the Tacoma projectors, however the 4500k bulbs they sell fit perfectly. Oh well, they won this round, they won't win the next cause there won't be one due to me taking my business elsewhere.

YMMV.

 

So let's see. I'm at nearly 1,500 miles and I'll post a few of my feelings on the truck.

1. It feels solid going down the road. I only have a couple of minor rattles which I need to chase down.
2. I love the brakes. They are damn good compared to just about any vehicle I've driven recently. By far a pleasant surprise.
3. Engine performance without ECT on is abysmal. If you turn on ECT, then it drives MUCH better.
4. I have the hood delamination issue.
5. The factory headlights were pretty crappy. With 55 watt TRD 4500k HIDs, the output is great. I've yet to be flashed by anyone.
6. Truck is fussy about LED turn signal lights. I'm still messing around to get the proper resistance, however the upgrade in brightness is worth a little hassle.
7. I find the truck comfortable to drive on short and longer hauls.
8. I can just squeak out 19.5-20 MPG with the BFG A/T KO2's at 70 MPH. You need to be very light footed to achieve this.
9. I have had no issues with the infotainment system or any of the electronics. Everything has been flawless.
10. My transmission is slow to engage into D after a cold start and backing out of a space. I need to get the transmission fluid level checked.
11. The alignment from the factory is off a bit. I need to take it in for an alignment in the next couple of weeks.
12. Wind noise seems to come and go, but I do have a little up front which seems to have increased since when I first got the truck.
13. Transmissions shift strategy needs a little work. It can bog down the engine at times at light throttle.
14. I get a lot of comments about the Inferno color. Some love it, some hate it, but everyone talks about it. lol!

Overall, it's a solid offering and I enjoy driving it. Smooth, fairly quiet, decent power (with ECT on). No regrets here.

 

I have the exact same truck. Looks great with the new wheelset ya got. Could you tell me where ya got the console organizer and vinyl tailgate letter inserts? Thanks.
