Going a different route now

Picked up this '17 Saturday. 3.5 Egoboost, XLT/Thport, [I hate the name sport, reminds me of the Brady Bunch], 3:55ELD, 302A, more.
Starting a build thread.

If the "Sport" is a decal which does not have clear coat take I off with alittle heat.

I cannot ever imagine owning a Toyota, but to have the word TRD (turd) on the side would be too much to take....

Nice truck. Can anyone tell me why some trucks of the same trim level have the wheel well moldings around them and some don't? AFAIK there isn't an option for them. My truck doesn't have them but I see XLT's all the time with them......

Interesting. Wonder why the Sport. They don't make the truck any more or less sporty..... I don't really miss them as most of the ones I see the colors aren't matched very well.

LOL, you think like me!!!! The very first thing I did after putting the hitch plug in was getting rid of that lame decal. Sport, Thport, whatever, and who cares if it doesn't advertise 4times4 anymore?
Sorta like Kumhoe tires, where are they from, Duhtroit?!?!

Thanks guys! This one is going to be more of a 4x4 street truck. I actually almost ordered an '18 RWD ELD , but this one came up, so,,,,,,,,,,,,, you see what I did.
I've more/less got a build thread going on, "'12 to '17".
