bought my '14 T4R back in Sept. in Clovis,CA. During my move from Columbia,SC to Fairbanks, AK. I got my T4R right off the trailer that morning. We put it to the ultimate test in late Sept. Driving over 2,000 miles with a 5500lbs. Trailer and it pulled through the Alcan Highway with ease. Now that christmas is over it is time to beast this thing out. I am having trouble looking for Lifts and light bars and good things to put on this, to bad the TRD S/C is not able to be put on I do not understand if someone can explain please, but I am sure if I look around here I will find my answer. Also does anyone Know any websites that sell parts for any 2014's especially lift kits.

Welcome to T4R and congrats on your purchase.
I'm going to move this to the 5th gen section for you, you'll get some answers faster there.

Lifts: Most people choose Icon, Toytec, or a Bilstein
Light Bars: Rigid Industries or VisionX are pretty popular

but that's wind chill temp though :), hence the "feels like"

and I would pull that block heater plug back closer to the grill, otherwise its going to rub a spot due to the wind when driving.

I pulled a taller, wider trailer of similar weight from Atlanta to western Colorado, across the continental divide, with my T4R when I moved out here. My airbags were at 35psi, and climbing up the passes to the Eisenhower and Vail passes were done in 2nd gear at over 4000 RPM, but uneventful otherwise.
