2019 Pro Build (Voodoo Blue)

Hi Everyone!

Figured I should start this thread to record all the modifications and happenings to my new Taco haha.

It's already three weeks old and has been on a few mild excursions through the mountains.

New additions are PPF on the front end and wheels/tires!
TRD Wheels (16X7.5+10) with K02 265/75/16.
PPF done by toyota.

those wheels look great
i even think voodoo could pull off the gold

 

should of got a tundra spendin 54k on a MID size

 

If I had a dollar for every time i've been told that haha. I test drove the Tundra and loved it! (However it didnt fit in my garage and we wanted a mid-size truck) But my wife has wanted a new Tacoma for a while so I got something we can both enjoy. 54K USD maybe... It was $62K CAD all in lol #RIP

Whats even funnier is that dealerships here in Canada are marking them up above MSRP and successfully selling them within 2 to 3 days. It's ridiculous. But I guess great re-sale value?

Dang... Maybe i'll send them for a quick powder coat haha

 

you would of been fine with a TRD off road 4wd. it has the same functions as what the trd pro has just without all the extra plastic stuff trd pro trims adds on. there flying off the shelf because people will spend the extra 10k for plastic add ons. ya got suckered in.

 

here in California at my local dealership they have 2 smurf color trd pros both for $54k. i looked at a lifted 4x4 off road tundra there, same price. more truck bigger engine. lol you can pull pussy all the way from here to taiwan with the 5.7L V8 beast.

 

Yea I had that thought too but I've been saving up for a while now figured I would get the best available version of the Tacoma to start with, slowly pick away at it. In it's stock for the extra $$ is worth it. I didn't realize the Fox external reservoir internal by-pass suspension was a plastic add on Being suckered would imply I didn't know what I was spending my money on, I'm fully aware of the additional costs for the better performing suspension and allll the TRD goodies and etc..

Haha im married, don't need pull anything. Except maybe her 1997 S14 and my 1999 Nissan Silvia to the race track once a while.

 

Again you would of been fine with the TRD off road 4wd
"Currently looking into full long travel lift kits around 3" that will retain TSS function."
here is what i would of done if i was in your shoes. i would of looked into getting the trd off road 4x4 then gutting out the stock suspension and putting on a better one. i would of saved more money that way but who am i to judge, I'm just one of those assholes that criticize on other peoples decisions.


"opinions are like assholes, everyone's got one"

 

Bahaha too true. Yea I plan to keep the truck for 2 to 3 years before I sell it. I told myself I was going to keep it stock. Then my asshole friend let me drive his 4" lifted Tacoma with long travel and my god lol, that stock plan went out the window! Being able to just running anything over you want is amazing... I was a car guy... Now very much so a truck guy lol

 

lol tell your friend hes a fucking dick head.

i mean is your friend running 100mph in baja? did he really need a long travel kit? nope.

 

for me, ill end up driving my truck until it dies. after that ill probably end up getting a tundra. much more room for my fat ass.

 

welcome to the place where people refuse to say nice truck and move on lol

the pro vs OR threads have been beat to death.

 

where are the mods?

 

i dont need mods for what i use the truck for.

 

you misunderstood

 

please explain my misunderstanding.

 

Or you do what I did and wait for a leftover Pro and pay less than a new OR. It definitely helped that it was a manual that they couldn't get rid of. Lucky for me that's what I was looking for

 

hahaha I can only imagine

 

I might need a full size truck in the future when I get a little older and own a house instead of a townhouse thats for sure.
