    First post on TW. I've had my 2017 QSDCSB OR4x4 for about 6 weeks now. Here's what I've done to it so far:

    Derped the badges
    Swapped stock grille for pro grille
    Color matched chrome rear bumper caps
    Removed black vinyl from window pillars.
    (Ignore picture quality, its bright and hot over here in AZ)

    I'm planning on upgrading the suspension after a little more research. I'd love icons, but I'm sitting on a bit of a budget right now after the initial purchase of the truck. Who has bilstein 5100's and how well do they work?
    I'd like to bump up to 285/75/17 after I do some body chopping and lift but I'm not sure if I should buy 5100's now, or save up for a while and suck it up in the mean time.

    Anyone have a set of quicksand rear bumper caps for sale? I'm willing to pay an exorbitant amount for some at this point

    Why not just paint yours or take them to a shop if you don't want to yourself?

    That's exactly why I asked the question, and I have seen your video before I just don't think I'm any good with spray can, hint as to why I was looking for the plasti dip for lol

    Black wheels are a must with quicksand. Went with the Nitto Grappler's, no lift needed

    Only my second post on TW. My second Taco. Had a 2008 DCLB 4x4 LB. Just made this one official today! Love the color and the Limited options. My first color choice was Cement but Pros are very difficult to find in the Hoosier state and I don't need the off road capability. Especially in Cement.
    My 2017 Limited 4x4 DCSB is a commuter/daily driver. No major mods planned. I just love the Tacoma trucks. Tinted windows and LED conversion is definitely planned. The mods I see on here are awesome! 20170624_191231.jpg
