Baby Blue Build Log

Bought a 2022 TRD Sport Access Cab 4x4 3.6L with the Manual Transmission in November of 2021. At this time Toyota wasn't taking orders so I settled for the magnetic gray color (was hoping for Voodoo Blue which I later found out was only available in 2020), and also didn't get the technology package which I was hoping for. I only had to wait about a week for her to arrive at the dealership. Overall I'm very happy with the purchase. Total off the lot price was $41,700 with a 7 year 100,000 mile warranty. I traded in my 2016 Nissan Versa ~38,000mi, which was also a Manual, for $5,000 at Larry H Miller Toyota in Boulder, CO. BIG UPGRADE!


I work construction so I wanted a tool box for the truck. Tried my luck ordering a toolbox on Amazon, but it arrived dented as fuck so I returned it and got a Nicer, Cheaper toolbox from my local Tractor Supply Co. Fits really will and with J hooks just fastens in to the pre-installed rail system.

Already I was super excited to get a Vinyl Wrap for the truck since I didn't really like the color. I got a few compliments on the gray but I've gotten quite a few more on the new wrap!


3M Matte Riviera Blue 2080 Vinyl Wrap installed by ShrewdDesigns here in Colorado. He did a great job and offered to come back to fix a few small issues. Here I also got 70% tint on the windows and the top 4" of the windshield. Total cost was $4434


Next I got some Rixxu seat covers since I wanted to preserve the factory seats as well as the factory paint (from the wrap)! $137 and came with the steering wheel cover as well. Just took about an hour, a few Ugga Duggas and the seat covers went right on. Very easy install.


I'm really excited to eventually get some new tires and wheels, but there's a few upgrades ahead of them. I decided to get some 1.5" aluminum hub centric wheel spacers from Rough Country $147 for 2 pair. I know, I know. At the same time I invested in a torque wrench, so, install was properly torqued with thread locker!! Install went very smooth even though I only had the jack that came with the truck and no jack stands... Will be checking these lugs frequently. Also removed the air dam here


Here's my current most recent picture. Next week I'm getting a sound system installed! I'm so hyped for the JL Stealthbox which replaces the back seat center console with a 10" subwoofer!!
