Cement Tacos let's see them!

Any of you guys with a small lift have grease exposed on your lower ball joints? Just noticed it and not sure if needs immediate replacement?

 

Went exploring a bit north of Vegas.

 

It's probably fine to drive on if necessary but definitely looks like you should replace it soon lol.

 

No softtopper on today

 

Grease exposed means further investigation is needed. Sometimes the is a malfunction with the boot not necessarily an immediate joint failure. How many miles, been on any trails, and other info comes in to play.

 

First wash after coatings. I think it looks noticeably better than freshly coated.

 

Off-road feeling Sporty

 

Trip to Big Bear Mountain over Christmas.

 

Anyone have photos with gray soft toppers? Can't find one anywhere.

 

That 2020 OR grille is far and away better than the previous versions... I'm still not sold on the headlights aesthetically. For me its BHLM 16-19 TRDs > 2020 LED > chromies. The full wrap DRL makes the headlight seem smaller to me and when it's off, it looks like an old neon tube. I think if the DRL had a slight tint to it would fix my stupid aesthetic gripes.

 

My stock OR on a Xmas day fishing trip for my first post.

 

Welcome!! Great start!!

 

First road trip in my new taco. Only 2 months old, but I love it! The parts list is growing though and fast lol.

drove down to Arizona from Vancouver, BC to see my family for Xmas, stopped and camped out over night at Bryce Canyon in Utah so I could go for a sunrise hike. I love this damn truck.

 

Great looking truck! Very much like the one I hope to buy soon!

I like the Access Cab. Our child is grown and we have other vehicles with full-size back seats.
I want the 6' bed for its camping potential, but I do not want the longer wheelbase of a double-cab.
At first I thought I wanted Super White because it would be coolest in the summer sun.
But the more I look at Cement Tacos the more I like the way they look!
And it occurs to me that Cement is really not that dark of a color - might do OK in the summer heat.

I wonder if any Cement owners would care to comment on how hot - or not - the Cement color gets in the summer...?

 

In sunny California we’re all like... regardless of my cement color taco but I still love it!! And would highly recommend it.

 

Dam the new folks can take some pics! Welcome!

 

I had my dealer did the coated paint protection from bumper to bumper, which was non-negotiable for $499 for 2 years and scheduling to return every 4-5K miles for reapplication if needed. I would NOT consider removing the OR 4x4 stickers. That is what gives it a mean looks and 10k more than SR5 stickers with selective features available only for it in the first place. And it turns heads when driving down the streets. People can go aftermarket w/ badges, stickers, lights, shoes but they are not quite the same anymore.

 

Love those wheels with it!

 

thanks brutha! Glad I found this place, but my bank account isn’t

 

Ha ha yes that is my issue on here as well. I would of never bought actual frame mounted rock sliders or aftermarket off road wheels if I hadn’t been on this forum.
