    Hello everyone from Bucks County, PA

    I have a new Limited 23 in Army Green.

    So far I have powder coated the wheels, applied the black overlay badges, had the chrome around the windows wrapped and tinted the front windows and roof, backflip cover, black armour bed mat, and AJT green keyfob.

    Next up are the door handle covers and rear tailgate. After that the mustache and maybe the grill. Looks like sparks is still on back order for the mustache.

    I'm really tempted to go with Rhino RB20's and replace the TRD Running boards. I have TRD running boards up for sale on Facebook marketplace hoping they go.

    Waiting to receive my cat plate from Valhalla.

    I've learned so much from reading the posts on here leading up to the purchase. Very informative. Thank you to all who have contributed the excellent content.

    Some before and after photos. I'll send more when I'm finished with the handles.

    Welcome. Like what you have done so far. If I could ask how much to powder cost the wheels please? I’m hoping mine come with the black painted wheels but if they don’t that might be Plan B.

    Yep - I was looking at replacing them originally and realized this was the better option for me.

    Your post got me to looking into powder coaters in my area (Mooresville, NC). Turns out there are several and at least one does top of the line work for most NASCAR teams. Definitely going to hook up with them when my truck comes in, if it doesn't have the black painted wheels. Thx for the tip.

    very nice!

    One thing to consider is net cost of wheels + tires *may* be close to the powder coating price if you plan on selling your oem wheel and tire combo. I did not want new tires so this was the better option for me.

    Yep I thought of this. I do want to go with a more all-terrain tire so that is definitely something to consider. Not really sure of the market for basically new alloy wheels and tires off my Tundra though. I really don't like the thought of having them sit in my garage for several months either. 20" wheels and tires take up some serious garage space.
