3rd Gen Magnetic Gray Thread

Stock fox suspension for now. Looking at King and OME BP-51 once the weight starts adding up.

 

No vibration that I notice. Still drives smooth on the highway at high speeds. I think there might be slightly more road noise but not by very much. Could also be from the Prinsu rack but it's hard to tell.

 

Looks good I man I like the stance. Kings are incredible from what I hear, if you do decide to do that and sell your Foxs' id be interested in buying em

 

Is anyone running a faux color match grill? If so does it match well?

 

Please tell me a bit about those wheels you are running.

 

What roof rack is that?

 

Prinsu

 

I got mine from there. Don’t really recommend them. All the letters screw in and every single screw mold came apart with the slightest turn of the screw. Ended up having to gorilla glue them all on. Same with the tss Mount, had to do some finagling.

 

I got mine from this website, it was very packaged and arrived fairly quick 6 business days after I ordered it I had it installed. The TSS garnish is an actual factory part not a knock off reproduction so my TSS works perfectly with no faults. Ignore the bug guts on it, I've been putting on a lot of highway miles and everyday it's been raining so it's not all shinny clean right now.

I second that. I have installed an OEM Pro Grille on my '17 MGM Taco and am very pleased with the color/look.

 

Is it all one piece? And are the letters already installed?

 

There are 3 pieces; the grill, the center section with the letters (all one piece), and the TSS garnish. The solid letter piece screws on from the back with 4 Philips screws, the edges of the letter area have a little flex but nothing has broken or seems out of place on it and I have 1,500 miles with the grill on and have been through the car wash at least 5 times with it. I might take it apart and add some double sided tape to the edges.
I figure for $100 it's great, if it breaks I'll stick a crowbar in my wallet and order an OEM one to replace it.

 

Here’s mine from taco garage. Black lettering.

 

Which grille is this?

This is both a fun and inspirational thread! I have a question--I know this is a thread about mods, but --my magnetic grey 017 was hit in a parking lot by a driver who took off, and I need to find a color matched bumper extension, as I believe they are called. Does anyone have either a driver side or a pair laying around? I was thinking someone might have switched out their rear bumper... happy to pay fair price. See photo. And thank to all for the informative thread. As soon as I start making money again...

 

What a bummer. Sorry that happened to you. I was thinking of having mine painted black (with Line-X or something) but these could be what you need:

Hope that helps ...

 

Thank you for your suggestion--I believe those (which I saw online) fit OVER the caps, which implies that the originals should be on (correctly). Again, thanks.

 

Oh ! Duh ! My bad ! So I guess you have to buy the replacement part from Toyota (which is not painted) and then put these over them. Or, of course paint the replacements. Got it. I would imagine that you can find them on Facebook Marketplace or CL from folks who have upgrade to a metal bumper. Where are you located ?
