My '23 Barcelona ORP Build

Day One: Home from the dealer. The Toyota Finder website lies! I called almost every dealership within 100 miles, that's California miles mind you and a lot of dealerships. The website says they have them. They don't. Finally had to order her but she was here in about a week. Came with the pro wheels and an apology note for them? I'm not crying. Saved me $2k in buying new wheels. Could have at least given me black lugs though. No KDSS, came with console safe, floofy 4R mats, cargo net and band-aid kit. That is a fire engine of red paint!

 

Week Two: Off to the shop for a 3" lift. Icon springs and Bilstein 6112/5160 struts with Toyo AT3's and SPC UCA's. Big improvement in handling. Springs got rid of the front end dive. AT3's are quieter than the AT2's I had on my Taco. First mistake made. I F'd up setting the combo for my safe, the paperclip slipped and have no idea what the combo was at. Luckily the safe door was open and was able to pull the lock and get another at the hardware store for $15.

 

Week 3: Rough Country Bumper. It was a little rough getting it on. Pro Skid Plate and Cat Cover. RSG Sliders and Nfab Rack that uses Toyota rack as frame.

 

Week 4: What's in the box? Sorry, can't open till next week.

 

What was in the box?

 

Stealthbox sub-woofer.

 

You know I've only had the sensor warning light come on a couple times in the year I've had it and it always turns off a minute later. So I don't think it's a problem?

 

Stealthbox installed with Focal speakers and BLAM! amps. Added soundproof mats. Kept the stock head unit till I find something better I like. The sound is phenomenol and very well hidden.

 

One of the last pieces of the puzzle. Got rid on the OR gray valance and replaced with black. Now all trim is black.

A final touch. You have to do window stickers to be in the club-
