We just picked up our 2019 TRD Off-Road w/ KDSS a few weeks ago. It's white with the black/caramel interior, and it has about 8k miles. I've had a string of old, crusty 4x4's and this one is the polar oppposite. (Speaking of polar, my daughters named it “Olaf”.)
What we figure is that it's a pre-Covid purchase, having been sold for the first time in Dec 2019. 3-4 months of a normal year, and then it was parked/hardly driven (just like the rest of most of our cars)
Plainly put, I just sold a vintage Jeep to help finance this "buy once, cry once" project. The plan is to enjoy this rig on some scenic, remote and tough trails, up to and including Moab, PNW, and possibly the Rubicon, eventually.
Here's what we've done/ordered/installed so far:
1. Removed the factory step bars.
2. 4xInnovations skid set.
(installed)
3. 4xInnovations bolt-on slider set
(Installed)
4. OG Safari snorkel

5. Ordered a Victory 4x4 front strike bumper with tube work
(
cancelled, due to a planned Moab trip in Nov. Switched to a Warn 100022 see post #18)
6. Ordered a Victory 4x4 rear bumper. (still deciding on carriers or not)
7. Ordered a Rago Fab molle panel/shelf kit. (
Panels installed. Waiting on shelf)
8. LFD ruggedized crossbars with hiLift mount, multi-mount, maxtrax pins, and awning mount.

9. Ironman4x4 awning with LED light. Also picked up the angled annex. Might get the screened wall tent add-on, later on.
(Installed)
10. AJC rear cargo plate.

11. Dobinson’s lift kit

12. 265-75R17 BFG KO2’s

- Full trail toolset/tool rolls
- First aid kit

Loving this forum so far, been searching and reading the massive amount of info available.
Also, love the site:

Been helpful to view the different options and also has helped with skid/slider and snorkel installs with "step-by-step" tips.
