TRD_Patty's 2024 Bronze Oxide TRD Sport Premium Build : 34" Wildpeak / Method 703

[TRD_Patty]

Making my first post here to log my build and chit chat with you guys about it.

Picked up the truck last weekend, been loving it! It came with black rear tailgate lettering and mudflaps.

Parts on the way:

• Wescott preload collar lift 2.50" Front/ .75" Rear
• Truxedo X15 Tonneau Cover
• Go Rhino Dominator D6 Side Steps
• TRD Front Skid Plate
• Toyota Bed Mat
• Toyota Floor Liners

Things I've done so far:

• Plasti-dipped the front emblem
• Removed air dam
• Method Wheels 703 17x8.5 +35mm Offset Matte Black
• Falken Wildpeak AT4W 285/75/R17 (34.1")

Future Plans:

• TRD Pro grill
• TRD Pro fenders (if they fit)
• Gloss black roof wrap

Nothing special yet, just a pretty bronze oxide taco. Got rid of that hideous air dam and plasti dipped the front emblem.

I was torn while ordering wheels and tires on what tires to go with. The Toyo open country AT III in 285/75/17 are listed at 59lbs each, and falken at4w are 68lbs. I didn’t want to add 9lbs more per tire but with the experience I’ve had with the fallen at3w in the past, the falkens won out. Hopefully I do not regret the extra weight.

Wheels and tires came a bit early and was able to make some time to put them on today.

there is no rubbing at all at full lock with no lift, no trimming, and no removal of the safety plate.

What are you doing with the factory rims?

Nothing at the moment, I’ll likely sell them

Those 703s look great!

Your truck looks great! Can you get a picture from the front showing the whole front of the truck after you put the larger tires on? Thanks

Great looking truck! I’ll be following your build for sure since it’s very close to what I want except for starting with a TRD Off-road premium with 6 foot bed. First one I’ve seen in Bronze Oxide with Black Method wheels…. I love it!

I’m super interested in getting my roof wrapped with the gloss black, I haven’t seen any pics of a bronze oxide one with it. Please share pics when it’s done!

Had a strange issue yesterday, a loud squealing noise started, thought at first it was a rock stuck in a brake caliper but stopped and checked it out and there was nothing. Got back in and drove and realized the noise did not increase in pitch with speed so it was not related to something moving with the vehicles speed. Googled to see if anyone else was having this issue and found this Reddit thread with a video of the exact same noise.
I was about 50 miles from home so I decided to just head that way, when it started again I gave it some hard acceleration and it went away and did not come back for the whole trip home.

very strange…
