Would look better with the Fabtech components painted black.

Funky colored suspension pieces are a pet peeve of mine

I love how the dealership did every ounce of work on it, including installing a drop in air filter.

Nice ride!

I don't like fabtech. There is another reason why I wouldn't buy it. The idiot seller posted the VIN.

It's a sad day in the world of toyota due to that thing.

Way to negate the purpose of 4WD...

Yep, those are the Grippers. Lot of money spent on good tires to just run them on the street.

With the VIN and some fake papers someone can go to a DMV and have that truck yours. I'm not good at explaining but there basicly stealing your truck without having to actually steal it.

Its happen to a bunch of people. One lady had her suburban in police impound for over two years. She was pulled over for some reason and arrested when her plates showed up as registered to another vechile. This all because someone stole her VIN.

On tv they said if you ever buy a used car have the salesman check the VIN to see if its not also registered to another vechile in another state.

Sweet ride - if it were able to go off road... I agree with the consensus - too much bling!

They had to use an entire bottle of Black Magic on each tire. And all it did was make it slicker than the clay down here in GA. That and it looks like there's some tread missing...musta tried doing burnouts...silly tacos, get a burrito
