Would appreciate any photos you have of your painted skid plates. Thanks!

Thanks for the insights. I definitely plan to use it for light off road...camp grounds, Boy Scout outings, fishing, and out of the way shooting ranges. I will plan to use rattle can spray paint, and the more I think about it, darker is better!

I have a cement 2018 TRD Off Road and want to paint my stock skid plate a similar cement gray color. The stock black one doesn’t stand out and blends in to the shadows below. I also don’t want to spend $200 for a TRD or after market skid plate. I plan to do it right...sand, prime and paint...

I’m considering the Falken Wildpeak AT3W 265/70R16 for my 2018 TRD off road when I replace the kevlars. Anyone have experience with the Falkens? Great reviews and the price is right!

Mine are both...stock OEM TRD off-road rims! Don’t think I’ll ever change these...

Would love for you to stay...you’re still a great source of Tacoma information! Congrats on your Tundra...another great truck!!

Thanks OR17TRD...I like the Pro grill a lot, but don’t dislike the current grill enough to swap it out. The only reason I added the tube steps is because my wife is 5’ 1” and needs them to get in and out (especially in a dress and heels). I’m 6’ and don’t need them myself. [emoji106]

I feel odd calling them mods...more like add-ons to my 2018 Tacoma TRD Off-Road in cement gray. First pic is stock the day we picked it out at the dealer. The first add-on was my Rugged Premium Trifold Hardtop tonneau cover. Next, WeatherTech in-channel vent visors. Finally, black 5” oval...

Makes sense...thanks for the advice Gents!

Can anyone comment on the quality of Toyota’s OEM 5-in oval tube steps (black) w/ top step pads as compared to the various aftermarket products out there? I know they’re expensive at $439, but are they a quality product that will last? Appreciate y’alls opinion...thanks! NTD

Waiting to see your pics TB123! [emoji16]

Here are pics of my recently installed hard cover tonneau and WeatherTech vent shades. Tube steps on tomorrow...more pics to follow.

Agree w/ cruzjjcruz...I bought the OR and bought a Rugged Premium trifold hardtop cover. Most brand name covers are better than the OEM covers (as I’ve heard from others on this forum), and installation is not difficult. To me, the OR is more versatile and rugged than the Sport, and includes...
