    Not enough bandwidth on the internet to list.
    3 days ago, I put those identical 2x4 decals on my rig. Thought I'd eliminate the 4x4 element but keep the red shading as I have splashes of red here and there on all matte black over white, and adding the toy.rac.dev aspect. I have the maker doing the same basic decal with the addition of a compass rose in the background. Looking to try something different as it's so cheap to change it up.

    I don't think BBB is much of anything

    what's even better, is removing it entirely
    -does not waste money on stickers
    -more focus on actually upgrading the truck, not stickers
    -shows the actual metal of the truck itself, not stickers
    -avoids residue and imprinting from the sun
    -shows your truck is what you make it, not how it came from factory

    When I was shopping for my truck a two yr back, I found enough trucks labeled OR when they weren't - I was also looking for a MT [AC/MT/OR] - so I just started running the VIN for every one I looked at.
    I wound up finding one that was mis/marketed as a Sport but when I ran the VIN, I found out it was an OR - called the dealer and they even sent me a photo of the locker unit under the truck to confirm it was legit..
    I went down the next day to see it and they told me they didn't realize it was an OR and if I didn't take it, the price was going up 2500 - I took it for a pre/purchase and it was as pristine as could be..

    Sorry this happened - auto trim packages can be difficult to sort out at times, so you gotta ask xtra ??? and be xtra careful..

    FYI, the early 2nd gen OR's were badged as SR5 too, they were something like SR5 trim with OR package. It is pretty well documented.

    I believe all OR and Sports are technically SR5s with the package. They all have the same VIN code.

    Took me about 8 months to find mine - I have never owned an auto and I don't plan on changing this any time soon..

    I ran the VIN as soon as the listing hit Autotrader to see what packages it came with from factory + tranny to see if it was worth looking at.
    I also set a 3hr drive radius for my search area..

    I went and saw a few that were 75% rust - as soon as they were up on a lift for a pre/purchase inspection, they were all rust underneath -

    The VIN is the most complete/accurate for car detail..

    Same situation here, I traded my 2012 SR5 on a 2018 what I thought was a TRD OR. Carfax showed it as a SR5/TRD but lacking standard OR features, unfortunately that I learned later. Dealer installed aftermarket lift, TRD wheels and decals. I'm an ass for not doing the research. Just thought it was an option less TRD. Love the truck but resale and the extra coin spent sucks. Live and learn I guess!

    RedLine Tuning hood QuickLIFT, Gen3 alloy 16x7J, All Pro Off-road bed stiffeners & IFS skid plate
    Added aftermarket running boards, too?

    I agree, after finding a set of these Gen3 16x7J wheels from a tire shop in Salt Lake City (makes sense to swap for larger wheels and tires for Moab and other off-roading places there), plus a fifth as the new spare (face up under the bed, so I don't need to keep a half-dozen conical lug nuts for the steel spare) from a store on eBay Motors. The 2009 Barcelona Red Access Cab looks so much better with the charcoal alloy wheels and black lug nuts than with the original silver steel rims and nuts. My Costco Tire guys told me things were slowing down until March, so they were happy to do a "winter tire swap" with 4 tires/8 wheels. (I took the spare in when the new Michelin arrived a week later.) The Toyota emblem (not TRD) hub centers were included with the four wheels, so after replacing a center for a steel rim, which the local dealer had in stock ($89 ouch!), buying the alloy rims, center, OEM lug nuts and new TPMS at less than $800 was a no-brainer.

    Like Dad, I'd gently question the dealer about "What am I paying for that I don't need?" (or that you did not receive, according to specs?)

    (Later edit: I've noticed that Amazon's prices are often higher than many other stores, like Etsy for the TRD OR decals, Tool Nut, a family-owned and operated tool retailer selling the Dewalt tool boxes that fit behind the Access Cab seats (DWST17807) from another TW thread.)
