Welcome and can't wait to check out the new 15s. We are having a meet up this saturday with all of the Colorado 4Rs out here. It's alright if you don't have one but we are just trying to have a quick get together and meet and greet. If you are around, come on out. It'll be near Lone Tree
Sounds like a plan! I'll see if I can take our TRD TACO up... I'm in Colorado Springs. I'll PM you and get the info.
JTolly - thanks for posting those paperwork images. I think it confirms a couple of things for us:
a) The 30th anniversary discount still applies. I've seen evidence that it would continue into 2015, but I think you've presented the first hard evidence.
b) Since this already shows the port installed options (floor mats), I'm guessing it is already at Long Beach or beyond.
c) There doesn't appear to be any meaningful changes from the 2014 configuration.
Enjoy your new purchase. I've got a 2015 factory ordered and am expecting it in the October timeframe.

I was also thinking about what you guys said about 295's plus spacers. I'm now going 285/70/17 with spacers but with a little more aggressive off-road tire for summer fun ... like Gabex35s setup, but with 17" black six shooters. Then 285/70/17 GY DuraTracs on the stock trail rims for winter duty. LMK what you guys think about that.

So, she finally came in last night! My salesman called me and I stopped by after work... they were closed, but she was still waiting in the back for me to look at. It was very late... So, I'm sorry for the dark ass pictures. Here are first look 2015 T4R Pictures. ENJOY!!

Congratulations!
Hey, CONGRATULATIONS!
arty:
That's gotta be an awesome feeling after the wait. I'm sure you're likely at the dealer now or will shortly be.
Looking at those pics, I freaked out a bit when I saw there was no hood scoop. I first thought, "oh no, that's not a trail!", and then I thought, "well, maybe that's a 2015 change - no hood scoop for the trail." THEN, I realized there was still the white protective plastic wrap on the thing and you could see the hood scoop bulge under there. Haha.:thumb3:
So, assuming the deal is now done and you are driving away with it, would you mind how saying how much you were able to snag it for. I'm getting ready to 'order' a 2015 TEP White with KDSS myself. I may end up even going to the same dealer as you. (Tough to get KDSS in Oklahoma). But, I'm curious as to how much below MSRP you were able to negotiate given you wanted a very specific vehicle. I know you didn't special order straight from the factory. If I understand correctly, the dealer was able to obligate one already built and being shipped. I hope to do the same. I just want some benchmark for what precedent has been set out there.
PM me if you'd rather keep it quiet. Thanks and congrats again!

So, I finally put on my Bilstein 5100's on all 4 corners, spidertraxs 1.25" spacers and 285/70/17 DuraTracs on my stock trail rims. I got everything from Joe at chitown4x4.com... Joe was AWESOME BTW! Sorry for the laps in posts, but I've been super super busy at my office. Just FYI there will be some really cool mods coming up in the future soooo stay tuned!

Jtolly - I've been following your thread since the beginning and I myself finally bought a 2015 white TE w/ KDSS and am on my way to modd'ing it.
I second the above questions - what settings did you put the front shocks at? I know you said you got 2.5 inches of lift, but which setting on the shock gave you this?
Also, on the rear, did you add the shocks only or did you change out the rear springs. It's my understanding in order to lift the rear, you have to change out the springs.
