I used the Rola rack on factory cross bars of my 2017 TRD Off Road for my White Rim Road trip and it worked very well for a great price. Looks good too!

Those replikas are def made in China not Canada.

Don't remove KDSS. I mean yeah if you want to build a seriously modded rig like a few of the guys have and have a different daily driver. If you do lots of pavement driving do not underestimate how the handling will be changed (you probably will not like it). I don't do extreme stuff with...

I know this thread is mostly about tires, but I'll add in that this past winter I bought and put on the Toyota steel rims with Michelin Xi2's in stock size. Now the tires are about the same weight as the stock Duelers, but wow those steel rims must be heavy. I knew they would be heavier but...

Since you are new to 4x4 and off-roading, just be aware that the truck bone stock is more capable than your skill set (for now). IOW, the truck, as is, can do more than what your driving ability and/or pucker factor will allow. That being said, as mentioned better tires will help keep you from...

450 CAD..lol no way. Get the Viofo 119 for about 120 CAD. Great vid quality and sound. Used it on a 6000 km road trip and captured all kinds of weirdness.

First congrats on getting a vehicle you like. But yeah sounds like you just wanted to pay thousands extra for the colour and the Pro badge for looks. Either way, enjoy it; it's a nice truck!

RTT's seem attractive and cool, etc, etc, but mostly an "overlanding image" thing IMO. Big, heavy (top heavy), expensive, limit functionality and versatility (set up camp and go explore). Makes sense in S. Africa, Australia perhaps. As mentioned a killer ground tent can be had for way less $$...

It might not be intentional, but it certainly might be. On a different vehicle some time ago, I went to an auto glass shop for a chip repair. When I dropped it off the guy conveniently told me (covering his behind pre-emptively), "oh there's a small chance that the repair might cause it to...

Ha glad I found this, I also thought those were rear side window defrosters that were not working. Don't need to ask the dealer about that I guess!

Cool report! Quick question though. Regarding the Mojave River crossing, it looks like a stock 5th 4R would have issues with the water depth. Agree? Is there a a bypass? IIRC, there's a nearby alternative exit/entrance. Or a time of year when it is lower? Other than the river the Mojave is...

KDSS doesn't really affect straight line nose dive. It has an effect on lateral, side to side movement. On the road it has less body roll on turns, sweeping corners, etc. Very nice on highways for sure. From what I gather TRD Pro suspension may give a "nicer" (softer, more bump absorbing) ride...

It's the correct one. I have the same one and I'm pretty sure that is how it fits. I'll take a look tomorrow to be sure. Doesn't bother me. Interestingly the Canadian one extends farther to the front and covers the angled up bit with the tie downs just behind the 2nd row seats. The US one stops...

That wrap is uber sweet! I don't really like wraps but that is the best I've seen. Kinda lost me with the red accent stripes though. Takes away from the slick, clean, look IMO. Very cool truck.

What colour? I will say I recently did a 6000 km road trip in my TRD Off Road w/ KDSS. I love the KDSS. I did test drive a couple non-KDSS (SR5 models) before buying and could tell the difference. It was very nice during all the highway driving and cornering. I also happened to do the entire...
