Trident904’s 22 TRD OR Premium on 35’s

I've been driving Toyotas since the day I turned 16. My first truck was an 87 solid axle hilux on 35's with a blown motor I picked up for $1000 in 1993. I went from that to a 94 Turbo Supra, then a 96 Twin Turbo Supra. Had both Supras until 2002 when I sold them. I've had Tacomas (99, 04, 06, 09, 13, 16) along side the Supras and have been in a Taco ever since. I've always considered getting a T4R, but never did until now.

I built the 3rd Gen Tacoma to the brink of doing a SAS to D60's but hit a snag when Marlin Crawler stopped production on the crawl box for the MT trucks due to a 19 spline output shaft issue. The truck then developed excessive valve noise which turned out to be a bank of burnt valves. The dealer offered me $28k on trade so I bought the only 4wd T4R on the lot. (South Florida problems).

Fast forward 3 years…

Lost the 17 T4R to rats liking the flavor of the wires so I picked up a 22 TRD OR Premium after a 2 year hiatus playing with muscle cars.

This T4R is going to stay around and will be pretty much a dedicated trail rig since I picked up a 2023 Lexus IS500 F Sport Performance Premium to daily.

Nice, you got two of the best a 4R and a 2nd gen. I have a 2010 2nd gen myself.

 

Welcome! Nice looking runner

 

Welcome!

 

Welcome from North Florida

 

Nice! Welcome

 

From what I've read so far, yes. I just purchased a 19 SR5 4x4 T4R for the wife and am looking tho doi the same ad you. Seems like you'll need to ditch the front mud flaps if you haven't already.

 

Those will definitely be coming off

 

Made the dealership give me a black out kit for the badging.

 

Front and rear lower valances derped. Waiting for the UPS man to show up with parts is killing me.

 

Some minor cosmetic stuff done today.

 

Really? I predict at least some pin stripes by the end of the year.

 

Lmao. You’re probably right.

 

Finally goin to ATR this year, you goin? hehe
Not sure I can hit the fall citrus run so ATR it is.

 

I’m not going to ATR. Too much going on that time of year for me.

 

Yea I'm gonna have to take the time off. I've worked every labor day for 7 or 8 years. Let's hit the compound next month.

 

If I’m around next month, I’d be down. I may be out of town next month for work.

 

Falken Wildpeak AT3W 275/70's ordered along with these...

 

Let’s play what’s in the box!

 

New cupholders

 

Headrests

 

Large ones!

Exactly!

 

Hmmmm.......Good thing I read the study guide. I refer to post #21.

 

Looks good man

 

Welcome from TN, I remember your rig from TacomaWorld. I am wondering where you got the mountain sticker? I dig it

 

Thanks man. Link to decal is below:

Another thing to add to my list. This truck stuff can get addicting!

 

Rago brackets and RC ditch lights installed. (I refuse to buy expensive LED’s. I’ve had Rigid and Baja and I can’t tell the difference between them and cheap Amazon lights)

Hood scoop is getting wrapped tomorrow. The glare is brutal!

 

Glare issue resolved.
