Army Green thread: let’s keep it green!

Got my lift done earlier in the week. Bilstein 6112/5160’s, Freedom Off-Road UCA’s and an Icon add a leaf. Will be putting on wheels and tires soon.

 

Welcome to Team Army Green!

 

Welcome.

 

I really like the upgrades! Just curious did you happen to consider the Meso Custom replacement lights as well as the VLed? If so what made you go with the VLeds. Thanks.

 

Thanks man! I did consider the Meso Customs map lights, but when i was ready to buy, the V2 was out of stock. I went with VLed because I had installed some on my old Jeep TJ and I really liked them. They are kind of expensive, but they are fantastic and their customer service is top notch.

 

Well I guess I’m not the only AG OR in town any more……. Damn - I knew this day would come

 

LOL. I got mine in November of 2020 and saw nothing for the longest time. A few months ago I started seeing another AG in my area. I like looking at it but there is something to being the only one with such a great looking truck in town.

 

Anyone see this yet?

Wow
Interesting that the Toyota emblem is marked out and the TRD Off Road stickers are gone.
Guess we better be careful if we are ever driving around eastern Europe.

 

cant click the link at work, but I think its the Vampire System? I'm in for a group buy.

 

That’s right! Apparently it can be mounted on a variety of platforms. But L3Harris technologies choose a Tacoma. Their website shows it blowing up stuff.

 

I've already got the launch button - just need to pick up a system.

 

yeah they're commandeering every AG tacoma to put rocket launchers on. But mines red so I shouldn't have any problems. lol.

 

I didn’t see that option on the accessory list. Maybe they don’t add those to Lunar Rock, AG’s only.

 

I know the ignition and 4WD buttons require disassembly of that dash panel, BUT how difficult are the climate control rings? Can they be snapped on in place or does it require disassembly also?

 

You have to pop the trim panels off ( center, left and right) and then cut the tabs that hold the OEM rings in place - then pop in the new ones. Not hard really if you watch the videos.

 

Oh damn. I just took a tiny screw driver and popped the trim off. No tabs, unless I screwed it up

 

I think they heat the plastic pins to melt them so they stay in place. CUtting them from the back reduces the possibility of breaking them or of scratching the trim panel...but it looks like your way works, too.

 

@RWGT22AG this is how I swamped the rings. Super easy and quick. I had mine done in 15min.
