my TRD offroad build - nothing fancy, just a few improvements to make it look decent

    Hi guys,
    just wanted to share my build here in case someone else is looking to do the same. I had very particular desires when I got my tundra (it's a daily and tow truck) in terms of looks so here we go.

    I decided to go for a TRD offroad instead of a PRO for three main reasons:
    - I wanted a beige interior
    - no way I'm paying over sticker
    - TRD pro is louder and I wanted a quiet ride.

    Now the main problem with the TRD offroad is that it looks so damn ugly with those chrome finishes:

    So I switched all those ugly chrome parts with either white or TRDpro parts (thanks to Toyota of cool springs, so helpful to find the info in the forum).

    I'm not a fan of the TRD offroad stickers in the rear, they look like 90s design to me. So I made my own version and had them printed/cut in subtle matte grey color.

    The last remaining part was the wheels, and I noticed the TRD offroad seems to use the same wheels as the Pro except for the aluminum finish so why not have them repainted all black?
