Just got my set of 285/70/17 Falkens installed to get the final look I was going for! Not all installed today, but I put on Bilstein 5100s all around with a daystar rear spacer for 2.5/1.5 of lift and a few other assorted little mods to give it a more rugged "stock" look. Thankfully I only have found some minor rubbing on the inner fender liner at full lock in reverse from spirited street driving, so I will have to trim that up asap... I know there will be more trimming needed when at full articulation off-roading, but I will cross that bridge when I have to :shrug:

Also, what are peoples opinions on the TRD logo in the lower grill like in my photo? A little part of me thinks its a bit tacky and over-the-top, but at the same time I think its a cool addition :loco:

If I keep it, I will swap out the TRD license plate holder to the back plate to avoid three TRD logos on the front.

I like the emblem. Subtle and not douchey....
 
Installed some RCI rock rails

I installed a 2019 skid on my ride a month ago and looks like this. The letters aren't stick on and have holes cut in plate in the middle of the letters which have a press and lock design with the letters.

Yes that is exactly what is on my wifes new 2018 Cavalry Blue TRD PRO. We somehow lucked into having a 2019 skid plate. And since my question. Toyota confirmed that some 2018 are being delivered with a 2019 skid plates. Once they confirmed that. I did what anyone else would do I did a search for New 2018 Cavalry Blue TRD Pro and found quite a few dealers with that color TRD Blue with the same raised RED letters on the skid plate. I suppose Toyota is at the end run for 2018 and started sharing the 2019 skid plate on the remaining 2018 builds. Interesting for sure.

I attached a pic of our New 2018 as it came from the dealer with this skid plate.

Bent my front license plate (again)

I almost went for it anyway, but wasn't sure how my tail end would handle it.

You made that ?? Nice work but we need more pics of HOW lol !

Yeah I built it. I do stuff like that in spare time. I deleted most of the my built pics. This ins one of Lower bracket I made. Ignore the upper hole. I was off a bit and it wasn't going to be a very large bolt anyway.
