boredncaffeinated’s Wind Chill Pearl. Build for commute, camping, kids, and snow.

Just picked up a 2021 TRD Premium Sport in Wind Chill Pearl.

This truck is my daily driver to and from work. We get some snow and I snowboard, so being able to make it to work and the mountain in the winter is crucial. Won’t be doing much off-roading, other than what it takes to take the family camping around here. Got a shell on the way for my three kids to sleep in (short bed). Getting a rooftop tent for the wife and me.

Focus of this build is certainly camping, travel, and getting through 3”-12”+ of snow on occasion. Never had an issue on stock tires in my 2017 SR5, so I don’t think I’ll be adding a lift unless I get sag in the back from the shell and tent. Mainly tires, maybe wheels for the snow.

Already got some mods rolling in.

Meso Gasshole and Tacoma Dash Inlay from the other day:

 

Ordered a Prinsu Roof Rack this morning from @Truck Brigade! Black Friday deal.

 

Thanks for the tag! We are glad to earn your business.

Happy Holidays!

 

Added the Prinsu Double Cab rack today!
Install went well, minus stripping one of the hex screws before I decided to hand tighten instead of use the drill.

I cut sections in the weather stripping rather than doing the nice little holes. Sealed the inserts and spacers with Lexel.

Left some room over the moonroof so it wasn’t covered by a crossbar.

Here are some pics!

 

Congrats man!!!!
Truck looks good. I passed this color up for Voodoo Blue. My truck hasn't got here yet, but please feel free to follow my build thread when I start it.

 

Great looking truck! Did you get your camper shell installed? How did they do with the color matching? Any pics of the truck with the shell?

 

Awesome! I just picked up a 2022 SR and am looking to do some similar stuff to mine. Can't wait to see what more you do with it.
