Not a TRD

Step rails or sliders are definitely the first thing to put on to protect from parking lot door dings. All weather floor mats to protect carpets too

 

That's all computer controlled crap. To keep it simple you have open diff and locked. Yes Trac, atrack and vcs can help it's not a trulely locked 50/50 Rear.

 

Thanks for the info my friend. good point.

 

Where is a picture of your truck?

 

thanks for the info. great looking truck dude.

 

this is the only pic i have thus far. I took off the "shark" running board steps because i think it looks better without them. If i lift the truck, Ill install some step ups again, maybe the "predators".
btw. I'm trying to sell the shark running boards. ill probably post them on the site when I get a chance.
Also.....I just ordered some 'Clazzio' leather seat covers. Will update when I install them.

 

I almost bought that one. Until my wife said she liked it better than the white I chose.

 

I took off my TRD stickers, now it's just a plain ol'Taco! Seeing how all Tacos have the same ride height , if we parked side by side we would look very similar, "normal" people wouldn't notice much difference. Enjoy your new Taco!

 

beautiful truck. thanks dude.

 

Here is my white one and it says TRD all over it. Lol

 

Dude, Mod away man, some of the best builds here are base models. Only time you'll ever catch flack is if you try to represent your truck as something else here, like some guy who tried to say his truck was a TRD Sport when it was clear it's an SR. Cheers and welcome! @Tacoman 83

 

very nice

 

thanks dude.

 

Leave your truck as is. Lifting and moding is overrated, expensive and tends to voids warranty. Your truck looks handsome how it is IMO.

 

thank you. the taco is quite handsome.

 

What he said. I will say think long and hard about lifting. I've lifted a few, this one won't be. Its a heated topic here, but most lift for looks which is fine and I totally understand, but then they don't realize the eventually added wear and tear, possible warranty issues, resale, etc. Just look at all the trade offs and what you want before taking that plunge, though it is hard to do being on here. I will say you can build an extremely likely just as capable truck without needing to lift.

 

i will definitely think about it. it surely won't happen anytime soon. Ive got to build up my savings again anyway.

 

A lot of us work on our own trucks and others just have money to burn and others work their ass off to keep the truck working so we can go and adventure.

 

Do what you like. Screw the haters

 

thanks for all the replies and info. y'all are awesome. great community. ill update on another thread my progress with clazzio seat cover, bed liner, etc.
