    2012 TRD Offroad DCSB
    Just bought it last week, just tinted the windows and added the paint protection for hood and front bumper. Installed weather tech digital floormats, the rearview mirror extender (from this site), an Optima battery with custom tray, TRD oil cap, rad cap, TRD supercharger!!! Ya!!! Just this week $3710.00 plus $690.00 installed in El Paso, TX at Hoy Fox Lexus Dealership, TRD exhaust, Airaid cold air intake waiting in box in garage, Amsoil Dual Filter remote with 42 Design Oil catch can still to install. Need advice on URD Y-Pipe???? Have URD Welbro fuel pump to install also but want help. Have to sell the mid-mount light bar from (Pelly off this site) never opened it, still in box, but decided to go a different route $100.00 takes it plus shipping in USA.
    I have the TRD 0ff-road DCSB in 2012 model year. I would be interested in the lower winch mount version.

    I have the TRD supercharger water pump mounted below the inner-cooler and a dual-bypass Amsoil remote next to that...

    I wanted to install a Rigid light bar in the opening of the bumper cover...could the winch mount be lower than that?

    I have a 2014 DCSB that I could bring up from Houston. I have no job until mid-January, so I would be happy to help out. Just let me know via PM. Thanks!

    Not really crappin' in the thread, just rehashing things from the first page already covered.

    I can't wait to see what they come up with for the 2012+, I know it will be a bit before that comes to fruition as the 05-11's are first in the dev process...just saying.

    Houston, but a trip up North is not a big deal if only for a few days.
    I am contemplating it, I just need an exact date which we will find out here pretty soon.

    Looks like you just need some small filer plate for the gaps at each side and it would be perfect to me!

    We had fun disassembling jjew18's truck today! Managed to do so without destroying anything.

    I'll update things in a bit but right now the shop is working on a correct valance...width and bottom angle and will test fit in the AM to see how it lays out with the bumper cover.

    I'll cover some details in a bit but we have a few things to deal with. Properly supporting the bumper cover, blending angles for aesthetics and dealing with a torque strap system as it's a different layout than the FJ. More to come.

    Thanks for your hard work! So far it looks great. You can go ahead and put me on the list for one for a '12!
