    I loved the supercharger. A bit loud but the power was awesome. That truck survived several commercial building projects and the interior was bad. It also had som body issues that needed addressing.

    I’m not sold on lift. May consider tires and switching to 17 inch rims. Other than cai won’t do much to motor.

    I’ll modify and put my front light at back on. I do hate the Pro hood.

    Comes with CAI, save your money. Someone would be dying to swap hoods with you.

    Check out the hood swapping thread. There are loads of people that would be willing to trade you. The skoop is in high demand over there. It wouldn't be hard for you to find someone with the Off Road style hood in Super White

    He'd be an instant hit on youtube! :D

    I would contact TOYOTA engineering to see if they'd be interesting in taking the undisputed offroad king and take charge in the. Heck with all that power to weight ratio and the option for a charger, the Raptor would get Raped!
    I would name that bad boy Raptor Reamer lol!

    Congrats on the new truck! First time I saw the Super White TRD Pro online, I knew I wanted one. Too hard to find one in a manual transmission and price range was a little high. Ended up getting an Off-Road and modified it to look like a Bro Pro.

    So what are the differences with 2018 and 2017? I'm curious. And what did you decide on tires with the stock suspension?

    Man I love the white Pro's. I'm not sure I could own one, just always had dark trucks, but anytime I see the "stormtrooper" look on here or out in the wild I love it. With all the fun I've had de-chroming my truck I bet adding all the black accents to the white trucks would be awesome. I think I've decided the murdered out - white trucks are my favorite. But to answer your question as to "now what?" check my build. Too many to name.
