    Hello everyone! After an entire year looking for the best utility/daily/mild off roader, I settled on this gorgeous 2012 TRD Off-Road in Barcelona Red. My last truck was a 2005 Dodge Ram, and holy crap, this is on a whole other planet. I just did some maintenance like an oil change, new spark plugs, new air filters, transmission fluid change and flush, and differential fluid change. I also got rid of the crappy stick on chrome accents the previous owner decided to put on.

    Now, my only plans for now are Bilstein 5100's with the fronts at the top setting and either sticking with these wheels and doing 295/70r18 Falken Wildpeaks with 1.25" Spidertrax spacers or a set of 17x8.5 wheels and 315/70r17 tires. It's a tough choice for sure, but I don't think I can go wrong with either. Enjoy some pictures of this awesome truck!
