Midnight Black
I picked up my 2017 Sport in January of '20. I had the front windows tinted to match the rears, updated the stock speakers, and added front/rear dash cams. Then I talked to the team at Affordable Offroad in Shamokin, PA and they mentioned wanting to prototype some 3rd gen Tacoma parts (Affordable Offroad 3rd Gen Tacoma Bumpers). I lent them my truck and they gave me a discount on the front/rear bumpers.
I picked up a Warn VR Evo winch with synth line right away and had Affordable install it while they were mocking up the bumper. Less to worry about later on.
The rear bumper is solid and simple. Nothing wrong with that. I am really happy with how it came out.
They also mounted and balanced my duratracs on the 17" pro comp wheels. I went back and forth between 17's and dropping to 16's (surprisingly cheaper, I didn't realize that) but figured it already had the 17's when I got it so might as well keep it the same.
I have a 1" spacer up front and nothing in the rear at right now. I just ordered an Add-A-Leaf pack and Bilsteins for the rear to get it back to being even. Until I get them installed it looks like I'm hauling bags on concrete back there haha.
What's next? Maybe nothing. I'm not really sure. I have a different toy for off road fun so this might stay as is. I'm debating going to 4.88 gears just to make the drive more fun.
