    If you live in the PNW the Toyota Garage does a great job with after market parts. Very pleased with the work they did on my 21 Platinum.

    Makes no sense, your doing a lift with tires and wheels and you wonder about drilling a hole?

    Nice looking truck. By Toyota Garage are you referring to Michaels in Bellevue?

    It's interesting how they advertise that on Instagram but I can't find any reference of in on their web site. Even their Instagram page doesn't reference Michaels.

    Who or what is MC?

    I'm in Hillsboro and still waiting on my 21 MGM Platinum that's been on the railcar. It's been pushed back another week. The anticipation has been at an all time high.

    Truck looks excellent. Get me pumped up to get going on mine.

    Is that a Toyota Pro Grill or aftermarket? If aftermarket, where’d you purchase? Thanks, D

    I re-read this and am laughing my ass off! No, I’m not scared of cutting up, drilling, or modifying my truck. What I am scared of is trying to figure out WTF I meant when I wrote the message above while half asleep! I think I was asking about the grill and ease of swapping the aftermarket grill….

    I’m scheduled for 9\4. I have the vehicle VIN and have already registered it under my Toyota! I have a message in to SE Toyota who should hopefully be getting back to me soon with a build\delivery update.

    Nice looking truck, black looks so good when clean and polished, but is such pain in the ass to keep clean.

    I bought my truck at Michael's in July of 2020. The shop is just a regular looking parts counter you'd see at any Toyota dealership, but they have a big warehouse and separate install garage out behind the main building, totally separate from the regular repair bays.
    They are very mod friendly and sell/install a ton of cool stuff. I guess the parts manager realizes a lot of folks like to mod their Tundras and Tacomas, so they're smart enough to take advantage of that. Whoever is running that side of the house knows what's up. And they don't charge the ridiculous charges you'd expect from a dealership. I had them install my coilovers and also bought my SCS Ray 10s from them as well. If anyone in the PNW is looking for SCS wheels, they usually have them in stock/on the shelf.

    This is the exact look I want for my trd sport. Do you mind telling what size lift and tires you went with?
