Finally got some half decent photos, so I figured I would stop lurking and actually put something on the site. Have mostly done cosmetic upgrades so far and plan on doing some more substantial things later this summer. Excited to soak up the inspiration from everyone else!

Next steps are some more serious additions like rock sliders, front bumper, and roof rack. There are a lot of trails to explore here in the PNW, I plan on getting to as many as I can!

2016 TRD Off-Road

Cosmetic:
White LED Raptor Lights
Cali-Raised White LED fog lights
TRD Pro Grille
Spyder Sequential Turn Signal Projector Headlights (the ones with the disappointing light output)
Meso Customs Tacoma Ultimate Turn Signals
Raptor Style Tail Lights - bought from Cali-Raised but available most places, added some Diode Dynamic reverse bulbs for some added light.

Interior
Meso Customs interior chrome delete kit
Meso Customs vent ring chrome delete
Meso Customs climate control chrome delete

Wheels/Tires
TRD wheels - same ones you see on every other 4Runner and Taco
General Tire Grabber ATx

Exhaust - MBRP 3-Inch Black Series Single Exhaust System

Not visible: front to back scratches on both sides because apparently my brain thinks I am driving a Suzuki Samurai when I am going through these trails.

Thanks! That is actually a wonderful idea, going to move that up the list!
 
Finally got my SSO Slimline Hybrid Bumper with Warn 10-S Platinum winch. Excited to to get the skid plates/sliders in, so that this truck starts to become a lot more capable and ready for some trails in the spring!

Recently got the first of multiple skids installed. Really happy with the RCI look as well as how sturdy it is, big upgrade over the stock engine skid. Next up, lower control arm skids, and transmission skid followed later on by some sliders. Time to get this thing ready to explore the mountains in the spring.

Linked up with @ToYoTRD Nation in his new TRD pro, and hit some trails.

Still has a comparatively stock look, but added a few things since I last posted. Viper cut on the front, bug deflector and visor, a little more armor, another bed Molle panel, and the Diamondback cover on the bed.

Had to cut through the mountains from Chelan, WA back to Seattle this summer. Hearing the larger rocks scratch against the armor was oh so sweet justification for the money spent.
