Build is looking great and love seeing the other silver 4g's as well. Any plans for a roof rack or will the camper interfere?
The camper will sit over the passenger door, although with the six foot bed it's obviously not going to cover as much of the roof as it would with the five foot bed. I also have the sunroof so between the two I probably won't ever attempt to put a roof rack on. I am getting load bars on the camper and can store light items up there. Maybe my recovery boards for example....

As part of buying my truck through the Costco auto program I got 50% off parts, accessories and/or service, up to $200 off, so I splurged on a few items.

Finally, the axle dump exhaust tip. I was surprised that apparently they've changed the part and it now has the hanger bracket already welded on. That was unexpected, but nice.

One tip for removing the old exhaust. First, lift the truck using the subframe (not the axle) to get as much clearance as possible. Second, drop the spare tire. It was going to be a pain in the neck to snake out of there but dropping the spare let it slide right out, easy peasy...

Awesome build. What TPMS sensors and lug nuts did you end up going with?

I purchased and had the wheels and tires installed at Discount Tire. We just reused the stock TPMS sensors (I separated the stock wheels from the tires for resale). Discount Tires had the lug nuts in stock so that's what we used. I think they charged me ~$60 for them.

Thanks for the info. I’ll try to see if I can order those!
I'm pretty sure this is exactly what I have. The odd thing is finding this part number for sale isn't straightforward, for example it seems Amazon carries the lug nuts, but only in a 5 lug set (20 total), not the 6 lug set.

2025 Celestial Silver Metallic TRD Off-Road Premium.
Came over from Tacoma World looking for more Celestial Silver pics and found your thread. Unreal build. Although now I'm nervous because I think the Method 316 I ordered are 25mm offset and I really like your 35mm look! An itty bitty bit of poke is ok, but I'm afraid it'll be too much. Anyway, just wanted to say what a badass build you're doing. Inspiring for mine. Thanks!

First, thank you for the kind words.

We always want what we don't have! :cwl: I actually would have probably preferred the 25mm offset if it had been an option in the wheel I chose, mainly because that would have made the tires perfectly flush with the side steps. TBH though I think either is going to look good. 10mm is ~3/8in, which although probably noticeable, isn't a huge difference.

I have been doing other things to the truck and have been remiss in not posting links on this thread so here are some more items.

I installed an aftermarket "heritage" grill and a power distribution box. Link here...

I installed Dobinson springs on the rear. Love them! This is a long thread with lots of good content if you're considering carrying permanent weight on the rear. Link here...

Currently sitting in my shop is a CBI Super Sport Covert front bumper and HF winch. I'll post how that goes when I get around to the installation. As part of that I intend to replace the junk light bar from the heritage grill with a Diode Dynamics 18" light bar. It's going to take some modification of the grill so we'll see if I can pull it off. The weather has been cold here in Western Washington (for us) but we're supposed to be back to normal rain next week so hopefully I can find time to get the install done.

You're a mad dog! These threads are awesome. Thanks for all the useful write ups and photos. I wish I was as handy with my truck. Practice makes perfect I suppose. Keep 'em comin'!

I've posted a thread on my experience installing the CBI Covert Super Sport front bumper. You can find it here.
