Congrats on a great lookin rig! I have a 2015 Trail Edition and I am addicted to it... It's a lifestyle vehicle and I would have to say it has personality and style... Unlike 95% of the vehicles on the road!

Much Appreciated! And I second that, they're most definitely lifestyle vehicles.. You build relationships with them too haha! I see you're in the Phoenix area, I'll be moving to Phoenix around September, maybe I'll see ya on the road

This was the day I picked him up 05/05/2016 Cinco de Mayo!

Bought him some sunnies (tint) to keep the interior nice and cool..

Bought him his first drink...

A week later I went to beef it up a little but and ran into a couple issues with parts not fitting with KDSS, ended up with just the new wheels and tires Toyo A/T II 265/70R17 (only to be subbed for another set of new tires)

Then the following week, finally got the 3" Toytec Boss Kit and Toyo R/T 285/70R17 installed by the guys at RSG in Denver. I'm not too mechanically inclined, I can save a life but not a vehicle. I would highly recommend those dudes if you're like me and not willing to tackle the install.

I decided the silver bumpers looked kind of lame so I plasti dipped the front and rear bumpers matte black. Since I don't like chrome I plasti dipped the emblems as well, except I wanted to try something different than the matte black that everyone else does. So I did the emblems with Anthracite Gray, gotta say I love how they turned out!

Ordered the "Trail" emblems plasti dipped them and 3M double sided tape to hold, I read about another guy who used some super magnets, sounds pretty cool, wish I had read about it first.

Congrats! Mjolnir looks great! Is there a story behind the name? Did I miss that part?

Thanks!
I didn't really mention it, but Mjolnir is the name of Thor's Hammer lol.. I can be somewhat of a Marvel Nerd.

Nice man! I'm I colorado as well. I just picked up a white trail premium literally 2 days ago. It was hard finding trail premium that was brand spanking new. But even then there wasn't many. I love the grey. That was my second color option

Looks good!

This is a nice reference (for me I mean). Just mounted anthracite Countersteer Type X up to my attitude black '14 TEP. The silver trim up front and on back is bugging me... So i ordered some anthracite plasti dip to see how well it matches the rims. Will attempt soon! (Otherwise, may just have to use matte black for the front & rear valences).


2014 TEP w/ KDSS / Bilstein 5100s (front at 1.75) / Cornfed 1 inch rear spacers / 265/70 Nitto TG G2s / Spidertrax 1.25 / RCI Front skid / Yakima Cross bars / NFab Steps

Hey Bro,
How do you like the Toyo's??? I was wondering how they balanced out, or checked for roundness, I had a set of the AT's a few years ago, and nobody could balance them out right... Drove me CRAZY!!!!

always wondered what it would have been like to have been a fireman out west...

So far I've been pretty happy with them, only been running them for a couple of weeks now. They're the R/T which is a cross between mud terrain and all terrain. Surprisingly quiet on the road. I haven't had any balancing issues that I could tell and it handles great! We will see later on how they wear...

The fire service out here seems pretty decent, most of our boys are kept pretty busy! Good wildland opportunity as well..

Post some pics when you're done! I'd like to see it... I thought about doing the anthracite on the valances as well but since my truck is already mag gray I didn't want it to clash too much. I think it's a good contrast.

Congrats on your new Trail Premium! I had to wait a couple weeks for mine. And I noticed the dealerships weren't really willing to budge on price since the trail premiums are such a hot commodity. Any plans for yours?

Right on!! So good to hear that about the Toyo's, no vibration nothing?? I know I'm asking the same question over and over but DAM the really drives me CRAZY!!! I've actually got rid of 2 rigs over tire issues...

I've been out west twice with the smoke jumper program, and those guys were out here in 1998, always loved the hard work with them!!
