    Spec D headlights (garbage, Do not buy) replaced bulb with H7 80W Osram Off Road bulb so I could actually see. The lights they send do not put off any light at all and it's impossible to see anything at night... TOYO Open County AT III's (smooth ride, not loud) with Matte Black 17-In. TRD PRO Wheels Plasti dipped emblems and Bull Bar (Lasted about 2 years, need to spray them again)
    my cousin was a manager of a Toyota dealership and said that Desert Sand Mica was the number one seller to Old People! I've never been a fan of anything but Black cars...

    That bright Red is the worse colour of them all. There is a reason why Toyota axed that colour right off the bat. Thank you Toyota for doing all of us a huge favor.

    All silver cars including Tacomas is the worse color to my opinions, it's just "boring", the most generic color that everybody has....

    Mine is Indigo Ink Pearl but i've got a great deal on it, if i have to choose one, white or magnetic grey is my choise!

    Desert sand mica is by far the ugliest. It looks like the color truck you buy after you retire and are waiting to die.

    I don't get the hatred for DSM. It's not a tan, or beige. Not my truck below but I think the DSM with black accents combo looks sweet...

    To each his own I guess...

    I see a lot of sweet super whites, and with a few mods I think they look great... but stock, in a reg cab with the black fenders and bumper... it looks like a fleet vehicle.

    Why the hate for "Old Man Tan"? Its such a rare, sick looking color and black looks oh so good on it, a silver/white/black/ truck is a dime a dozen...

    Lmao. I live my DSM, it stands out around here. Although when I first got it I worked graveyard so under the amber parking lot lights everyone thought it was silver. When I moved to day shift I was asked constantly if I had painted it tan.
