2017 TRD PRO, who's waiting?

Tks bro!!

 

Just got off phone w dealership - it has been delivered.

Gonna be a LONG day at office. Picking up at 6:00.

 

That's worth using some leave for! Go get her!

 

Co-workers suggested just that. Tempting, but I'm saving the leave for an epic, 4-week, post-divorce vacation to Grand Teton NP, Rocky Mountain NP, & Grand Canyon NP in September/October (w/ last 72 hours in Vegas.) The future plans and leave used over last 6 months getting through the divorce have me a bit reluctant to 'go to the well' too often.

 

Understood. Went through a divorce years ago, know what you are going through. Five and a half hours to go!

 

Well brethren, officially joined the ranks last night. Waiting list since July last year. So worth it.

 

I'm going to post the question here because I don't want to make a thread and get


Does anyone have experience with traction bars?

I feel like my truck really needs one because I feel sort of a slinky like bounce when I get on the gas. I know it's a truck characteristic but I'd like to minimize it. Also when it was snowing and I was sort of stuck the truck was hoping allot and I'm told this will also be eliminated. One last thing is if I put the e brake on and I'm loading or unloading something when I'm on the bed I still feel the truck rocking.

Just want some opinions, maybe someone has had one in a previous generation tacoma? Will this add stress to the drivetrain system or will I not face any problems in the future if I add one?

Any input is welcome and thank you in advance.

 

Post divorce PRO is best

Packing my PRO which has over 30k miles on it for our Teton and Yellowstone and glacier trip

Plan to put 5 more k on it next two weeks

 

PRO definitely has put an even bigger smile on my face post-divorce! Originally planned to drive in the new ride for vacation, but 6 days of just driving (minimum!!!) persuaded me to spend the coin to fly.

Gonna be on a barrier island this weekend at least 1.5 miles from asphalt. It's been well over 20 years since I had that freedom.

 

Freedom + fresh pussy + PRO owner = heaven on earth

 

so let's see more of this back bumper!

 

Here ya go!!

 

Pictures of the new ride?

 

On the "quick" to-do list (as opposed to the "slow" to-do list?!?).

Thanks for kick in backside.

Edit: I'm drooling on the swing-out a couple posts above.

Edit2: New rule -- Thou shalt not have thy wallet at hand when on TW (you're welcome, MobTown).

 

Finally found some time to put some parts on today, still need to get the roof rack on but super happy with this truck so far.

 

Not the money shot but a quick placeholder until better can be taken.

 

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I like that BAKFlip design a lot. And I'd like a trifold cover if possible. As far as a rack or cap, I just prefer the look of a cover more.

My hesitation is that I want to install a mounting rail on the front of the bed to use a fork mount for my mtn bike and it doesn't look like I could have both...a hard or trifold cover w a front rail system used to mount my bike. Am I missing something or do I need to go w a soft cover if I want to use a fork mount?
