Army Green thread: let’s keep it green!

I thought that was what the Internet was created for!? and I was just referencing Toyota's half measure of only making the driver side powered... the only time I find power seats actually useful is when they offer driver memory so whenever someone else drives you can put it back to where you want versus the the minute here minute there getting everything back to where you want it

 

Feel free to look at my build, homie.

 

My turn! Just unloaded off the transport and rinsed off. I pulled the plastic off myself.

Specifically instructed the Detailer NOT to wash the truck. I’ll take care of that then off to my guy for nearly full PPF, then into my garage for a rigorous undercoating treatment.

 

Nice! What underbody protection are you going with? I'd love to get Krown but closest one to me is like 5-6 hrs away... Might have to try to Fluid Film it myself when the time comes since the only other thing around here seems to be rubberized undercoatings, which I obviously want to avoid.

 

I purchased a 5gal pale of Rust Veto 342 and a fluid film spray gun. 342 is a Cosmoline based product. This will be completely DIY and as invasive as possible.

Bumpers will be pulled,
Taillights, headlights, skid plates, tailgate panel etc. I’m removing the fender flares for PPF (3M), so I will spray up in there before reinstalling them with new double sided tape.

Got the tint on today. 15% rear and %5 front.
Before and after:

 

For anyone curious about build/delivery times, it took just over 5 months to get this truck (6MT). I realize my situation is rather unique (small dealer in rural Northwestern Ontario, Canada). I could have settled for an auto with a DAI back in November, but to be honest, the availability of an MT is the only reason why I went with a Tacoma and a Pro for that matter.

 

boom! Very nice

 

Favor to ask. Could I get measurements from the ground to the bottom of the fenders front and rear? Through the center of the hub.

 

Nice IG poses: pulling into the sand off a paved road and backing off the edge of a parking lot into the beach?

 

I got the Striker high hood struts put in last night - managed to drop and lose one of the trim clips so I picked up a few today at the dealership. Pretty easy to do, even by myself. They are set to 5.5" above the standard hood brace.




I also put on the Weathertech Side Window Deflectors the other day. I think my projects are pretty much done.

 

Front is 36 1/2” Rear is 37 7/8”

 

I forgot, I installed my Spiker's last week, too. I set mine for about 6" lift. I almost lost one of the mount things when it slipped and fell down the front fender. Only found it by the nub poking out the bottom.

I love these struts. Opening the hood is too easy now. Funny part is, my wife can't close it without going to the side because of how high it is.

Random snow pic... ⛄️

 

Check engine light already came on at 200 miles. Dealership diagnosed it to be a faulty charcoal canister on the fuel system. More waiting after the already 3 month wait.

 

not good. Did they try and blame it in the bigger tires?

 

Luckily they didn't. They just sucked it up and ordered the part.

 

Got my AG Taco in November and made a few mods to date:

King Front 2.5 Remote Reservoir Coilovers
King 2.5 Rear Remote Reservoir Shocks
285/75/16 KO2s
Yakima OverHaul HD Rack
Prinsu Cab Rack (photo later)
4 LED Raptor grill lights

 

Get ready for the inquiries from OR owners: "are your OEM shocks for sale?"
