    Just picked up my 03 TRD PreRunner yesterday! Super excited i found such a clean example, 2-owner, 121k miles with factory roof racks. Searched for a while before finding this one.

    So far I painted the billet grill slats black (not a fan of the billet).

    Plan is to take off the nerf bars and Snug Top. If anyone is interested, i'm looking to sell both in SoCal!

    Those camper shells really make them look like grandpa trucks without any lift/tire mods but man are they handy at times. Welcome to the forum.
