Let’s see dem Silver Tacos!!!

Is your truck on a lift.

 

I bought the rims but it was gonna be a while till I could afford tires so I got a discount tires credit card then sold stock wheels and tires and paid it back. Your stock wheels and tires are worth more if kept in one piece when your sell them just get the tire shop to put regular valves in the stockers. And the new trd wheels won't look anywhere near as good with the sad minivan tires

 

Better late than never?
I flew out to Vegas to get mine.
Not waiting 6-9 months for a 4x4 DCLB!!
Very happy with her!!

 

OR DC LB must be rare.

it's nutz right now man! California isn't getting hardly any LB's bc they are being distributed to mountainous/OR states where they sell better. Ca dealerships can't even trade with out of state dealerships bc they don't have any to make the trade with. I got lucky and after a 45 min flight and an hour at the Vegas dealership, I was OR'g in the Mojave on my way home!!! Annnnd for those on the dreaded "wait list"...there was this...http://www.14news.com/story/31105267/citing-parts-shortage-toyota-halts-production

Just picked this one up a couple days ago.

 

SR5
New wheels and de badged.

 

I guess it is time to publish a "mandatory" pix of my new truck.
Only got it two nights ago, so forgive my delay (grin).



This is a minimally equipped SR5, with the Gulf States mandatory option of the tow package (and some gravel in the tire treads, which is mandatory for all Texas trucks ). I figure the lack of extra goodies on delivery will give me a chance to add stuff as time goes by, thus renewing my friendship with the truck every so often.

So far, I am in the process of moving some items that were in my old ride, to my new ride. New stuff: Have ordered the Truxedo Lo-Pro QT (for several bucks more than some of the lucky, earlier guys' buys), and the Steelcraft 5" Widestep Premium oval nerf bar.

Front side windows have Eastman CTX ® 30 CH SR HPR (Charcoal) film, to stay within Texas limits, and block some the infra-red (heat) from the sun. That 30% tint is supposed to block 51% of the total solar radiation. It has a very slight greenish tint (not visible in this photo), when compared to the factory tint in the back windows.

Also had a strip of CTX ® 15 CH SR HPR (Charcoal) installed as an eyebrow, to reduce the sunlight sneaking through the area between the visors. I wish Toyota had double visors on each side, as did a Ford Explorer I had, many years ago.

Next "mod" will probably be a new rear-view mirror. The current one produces a somewhat distorted image . I have scheduled a visit with the dealership's techs to get a new one (if they agree). The several mile round trip will help break in the truck before a scheduled long trip on the Interstates in a couple of months.

If you check my posting history, you will find my observations of, and answers to a few of the complaints posted here (for instance, my ATF WAS low!)

 

Looks like my truck good choice!!!

 

You have good taste!

 

Likewise

 

Clean and ready for the weekend! Come on Spring!
