On a positive note, damn I get a lot of compliments!

Wives come and go, a Tacoma is forever

 

Damn OP, over 7800 messages in 32 months? How do you find time to drive your truck?

A Tacoma would last longer than the average marriage

 

I post while driving.

 

Lol mostly old man mods. Nice truck. Tacoma's are sexy.

 

I know what you mean. I get compliments in mine too and its totally stock lol.... silver, AT, stock Taco. Dime a dozen here in CA. Love this truck.

 

I really dig your set up man. I have a few questions if you don't mind. Your mods are pretty much exactly what I like to do to my '19 OR.

What hoops did you go through to get the TRD wheels, and Grill? Did you install them yourself?
Who did you go through to get the shell? How much was it?
Are you carrying two spares? One on the top and one on the bottom?

 

Thank you.

My dealer here in BC is happy to sell OEM pro grilles to anyone. They have them in stock at the parts counter and don’t require VIN or anything. Replacing the grille is very easy for anyone. There is a tonne of YouTube videos that show you what is required. Definitely not a problem.

My OEM TRD 4Runner pro wheels I could not buy in Canada as the grey version is not a Canada-stocked part. I ordered them online from Olathe Toyota, in Kansas, who has a major online parts store.

The shell is a Century “Ultra” that I specifically chose because of good experiences with Century not leaking at all, ever, on our fleet of work pickups. The “ultra” canopy has framed, not flush windows, which helps with sealing here in rainy B.C. I believe it was $2500 CDN with side opening windoors, colour matches, and Thule roof rails. Best canopy I’ve ever owned, hands down.

The spare tire on my roof was a temporary measure for travelling the Dempster Highway, Robert Campbell Highway, and Canol Road in the Yukon and NWT. They recommend a 2nd spare due to the remoteness and rough road. I threw one of my snow tires on my Rhino Rack. In the end, I had no tire issues at all, and if I did the same trip again I’d just pack a single spare and a plug kit.

 

Thanks man.
Yeah I tried getting the grille through the dealer, but they won't do it because of the TSS sensor.
I can live without the grille if needed but the stock wheels gotta go. I should be able to get the TRD pro wheels through them. Do not know how much though.

 

Nice rig!

 

Are the compliments from women or men?

Rachel think my truck sucks since I can't haul a sofa in it
