2018 TRD Offroad Cemet - She has arrived!

I'm so excited that she has finally arrived. I hired the guys over at Riverview Toyota in Mesa, AZ to complete this project for me. Shout out to Chris and Shea for making it happen! They did a fantastic job on this custom order and mod. The truck and all parts were ordered back in December last year and I flew out to AZ from NC to pick her up on Tuesday. I'm currently driving through Arkansas and should be back in NC by Tuesday.

I special ordered an '18 trd offroad 4x4 with tech, comfort, etc in Cement Grey. I'm not a fan of all of the red accents on the Pro so I built from scratch. Added a 3" icon stage 3 lift, 285 all terrain tires, lighting kit, custom fabricated sliders (thanks SDHQ), tint, rear wrap, BADASS side mirror LED smoked blinkers (thanks to @mesojdm) etc just to name a few touches. Took it off-roading for the first time today and it was a blast! I'm so impressed with how well this thing handles on the highways and then how much of a beast it can be off-road. I'll get more (and better) pictures up in the next couple of days. The pictures do not do this thing justice! Coming out of an 08 Tacoma I just absolutely LOVE these trucks, and Toyota has killed it with this year's model!! If you have any questions let me know. FYI some of my mods are still on back order (LED headlights, new hood struts, bed stiffeners, etc). FYII AND YES I did do a hood swap because I think the sport hood looks absolutely AMAZING. Don't hate

Also apparently the guys at Riverview Toyota made a video of the truck as it was being built. I'll post that up later so you can see it as well. Shout out to @JerryTaco for the inspiration behind this build!

 

Chris told me all about this truck, turned out great!! Enjoy it man!

 

Glad you didn’t go out into that puddle too far, you dont have a snorkle!

Looks nice!!

 

Thanks bro. Those guys are awesome. The truck looks so good in person. Offroading today was a breeze. I'm addicted LOL

 

LOL she got dipped all the way and killed it. I LOVE this truck!

 

Beautiful truck!!!


10x better than the pro with Cement!

 

They really are. Chris and shea have become good friends and are the only guys I'll buy trucks from. Took mine out today too. Put those sliders to work

 

That looks killer, congrats!

 

Oh hell yeah! Yeah they're dope. I'm going to be referring them left and right, such classy guys, responsive and just overall great people. I would absolutely buy from them again.

Great picture! You're like my truck's white brother LOL. I wish I would have taken more pictures today. Here's a few screenshots from my run..

 

Enjoy your new truck.
Not to piss on anybody's parade, for the life of me I don't understand the pleasure of getting a new truck super dirty, dented, scratched, abused in an environment in which the truck was not initially designed for.
For 20 years while working for a major cell phone carrier, I had to drive over those type of roads, sometimes towing a double axle generator, climbing mountains, fording waters, trading mud and I WAS PAID FOR to do that but hated life every second of it. To each its own, but if I ever lose my mind and desire to play in the mud, I would get a beat-up jeep, fix it up and abuse that one, not a $40000+ new vehicle

 

Not planning on beating it up. Not even a scratch today. But I didn't buy this thing to not use it that's for sure.

 

how hard was it to do all that work in high heels?

 

Very easy. Nylons got a few runs.

 

maybe its time to switch something more forgiving like fishnets.

 

Awesome truck. My next favorite color

 

Awesome looking truck, enjoy!!!

 

For the life of me I do not understand people who feel the need to piss on anybody’s parade.

 

To broaden, I also have a Supercharged Audi R8 V10. I drive the s*@ out of it.. track, hard mountain driving, drag racing, and I'm not afraid to put miles on it - 4k miles in the first 2 months, my last R8 13,000miles/yr. I never understood people who buy cars and don't drive them or use them for what they're meant for. So I guess we both are puzzled by the same thing in different ways.

 

Pics or it didn't Happen

 

Beautiful truck that's bada$$
