and alluminum wheels and "oversized" tires. The tire size goes from 245/70-16 to 265/70-16.

I would vote against getting the tire upgrade. It is NOT worth the money.

 

Limited slip was an option not included with the TRD package. At least it wasn't in the 2000 and 2001 year models.

There is a TRD Off Road Package and a TRD Sport Package. Which one are you asking about?

I guess either. I was just wondering what goodies I was missing on my '01
2wd. Thought maybe there might be some engine mods for better performance. Thanks.

 

The Off Road package from 2000 - 2006 included alloys wheels, larger tires, Bilstein shocks, off road tuned suspension, special color matched painted fender flares, fog lights and yes, the cool TRD sticker on the side of the bed. That's all.

The limited slip has ALWAYS been optional and is NOT included. There has never been a factory true locker or "e locker" offered for any Tundra before 2007, period.

I guess you arent missing much. If you arent planning on doing any mods later get a TRD next time. Its pretty good for a stock truck but after market mods can get much better stuff for a little more

 

I have been VERY happy with MY TRD Off Road package on my '06 Tundra!!

 

As far as I know, there have never been any engine mods included in the OEM TRD packages.

 

Its not surprising that most sold have it. This post made my look at my window sticker and on my 01 limited it was only a 195 dollar option.

16x7 alloy wheels sold for 16x8 Ivan Stewarts
265x70x16 BFG Rugged T/A sold for 285x75x16 Goodyear Wrangler ATS
Front off road tuned suspension swapped for 2.5 Camburg Coilover's
Rear suspension w/ bilsteins suprisingly still there
Cool TRD sticker ripped both off some time ago

Can someone please tell explain to me why I bought the TRD OFFROAD package cause I sure don't

 

"The limited slip has ALWAYS been optional and is NOT included. "

My understanding was that the LSD became available in 2002 onward.

I bought an optional TRD (Kazuma?) LSD from another TSer and am currently looking for an installer. The Toyota dealer wanted $800 to install it.

Along those lines, I also have the TRD coils and shocks as well. The dealer wants $400 to install those.

 

hmm, my (2002 sr5) trd offroad has black fenders

 

The Off Road package from 2000 - 2006 included special color matched painted fender flares

Thats incorrect. My 02 TRD Off-Road has black fender flares and silver paint.

 

actually accordign to the 02 brochure, all 02 trd came with black fares and flaps standard.

 

I think the 2wd version comes with a rear anti sway bar.

[no_ads]This is only true of the TRD Sport package, not the Off Road package.

My truck already has the larger tires, alloy wheels, and black fender flares.
I think I will just buy some TRD stickers off ebay and enjoy what I have.

This is exactly what my salesman told me. He said if I really wanted all of that stuff, it'd be cheaper to get each component myself. That way I could also "upgrade" each component as I saw fit. Then he said he could simply give me a couple of TRD stickers to slap on the side .

The fog lights!

 

The fog lights!

Ah yes, those awesome fogs I forgot thanks for the reminder

[no_ads]Your salesman was dead wrong. To buy each of the pieces that come with the TRD package from Toyota parts is EXPENSIVE. The wheels alone come out to twice as much as the whole package did. I know you probably will have custom wheels, so that doesn't matter but to actually buy the full package from Toyota in pieces would be thousands if installed by the dealer, not hundreds.

You are absoulutly correct. I wanted to buy a factory type rear anti swaybar for mine and..well..i took a pass. By the time you add up all the little pieces dam! The case above sounds like typical salesman sleeze to get you to buy the car.

 

I love my TRD package. Regarding the off road tuned suspension, are the front springs/rear leaf springs different than on a non-trd tundra?

 

Ive got the painted fender flares larger tires alloy wheels and even fog lights so sounds like I need a sticker lol
