Pic of bike in truck as requested.

Mud this weekend maybe?

2020 is a mild update, with a power seat and a usable seating position for the first time in... ever. New radio gets CarPlay. Rest of interior is largely unchanged from 16-19. On the outside, it’s a new grille, LED headlights and fog lights.

I got a base off road trim, so no leather or heated seats, and none of the gimmicky surroundview camera stuff. It’s just a truck.

Black bumper end caps, the TRD Pro heritage grill, a lower profile step/nerf, and the trd skid plate set are in the shopping cart.

The rest of the blackout package (emblems and exhaust tip) arrived today, and the other bike mount shipped.

:fullretard:

So what did they come out to? I think 17s have a better tire selection but I could be wrong there.

These things always look bad ass. Totally love em, but not the price. But they do hold their value like woah. And last fucking forever.

I'd love one if I could tolerate the fuel consumption of a truck. Maybe in another career move or something. My next car will need to be :gorf: sized to fit in the new garage with built in work benches unless I want to scrape snow and ice off of my car many mornings for five months.

I do like how durable these things are, if the factory sends a well built example it's epic reliable.

Installed the rest of the blackout package this morning... the matte black “Tacoma” inserts on the tailgate. The exhaust tip is a “black chrome” piece which I’m not too thrilled about, but it’s better than the plain unfinished pipe.

Need to offload the AccessPort from the GTI and get the replacement parts for the Renegade grille ordered before I go nuts with more truck parts.

I squeezed 19.5 out of the Silverado.

Still don’t care. Comfy as fuck. I need to add some heated seats and this thing is perfect.

It should get a bit better as the engine breaks in.

Getting closer to 20mpg.

Still love the truck.

Installed these nerf/tube/running board things I scored for $200 through work.

And then cracked my shin on it.
