jhcole's Build Thread - 2015 DCSB 4x4 TRD Off Road

Nice build man and great start!

 

Nice work!! I had a question, what did you use to color match the grille? I want to do the same thing to my MGM Tacoma.

 

The color code for "Magnetic Gray Metallic" is 1G3...

but I bought the genuine Toyota part from Camelback Toyota. They have the best price online I've seen so far, $186.67 + free FedEx shipping.

Then I sold the chrome grille for $110 on Craigslist to offset the cost.

I would recommend this route as opposed to painting it yourself (to ensure oem quality finish and color match).

 

Looks sweet!

 

Nice job on your build(s)!
I'm sorry about the dents, that sucks!

we drive twins...I just need to get my color matched mgm grill in but the rest it pretty much the same

 

Very nice truck, I love how it looks. How were the K02's before the lift? Any rubbing?

 

Thanks!

KO2's seemed fine, didn't take it off road or anything before the lift, but didn't rub around town.

 

Sweet and thx for all the specs.

 

I figured I'd post some photos of the wife's T4R here also:

Taking the kayak out:

 

Glad I saw this, I really don't like the chromed out grill on mine but I didn't see a way to get the TRD-OR without it. How difficult was it swapping them out?

 

Sorry to take awhile getting back to you. It was incredibly easy.

Pop the clips and 2 bolts out at the top of the grill, and then grab in the "pockets" of the head light on one side and pull grill outwards:

 

Your wife's 4Runner looks like an awesome DD, but still very capable off road.

 

Appreciate it, I've finally got it looking the way I want.

However it is still a 2wd V6 with 167,000 on the clock. So just getting broken in right?

 

Just a baby.

EDIT: Just a baby in your part of the country. In my neck of the woods, the winters would have it looking pretty rough by now. I gotta move.

 

Hit some light trails today

 

Been a little slow lately but finally had the windows tinted (30% over all windows):









Also applied grip tape to my sliders for easy entry/exit:

 

No update on the Taco front but did detail up the 4th gen T4R this weekend

 

NIce truck, good looking and capable.
