These should be the same pair that just left Tacoma and are a known quantity, but if anyone has any requests drop them here. I'll update with my experience tomorrow evening.
5/2 update. Just got back. It was a nice enough event. They had some decent freebies. A bunch of nice EBs to look at.
Cactus Gray looks very nice in person. I have been critical of it because it seemed bland in pictures. Not for me but many of you will love it.
I fit perfectly in these. Very comfortable. Not as big as I remembered from the first viewing. I still maintain it could be 6" narrower but it's OK as it is.
As mentioned before, no keys, but I chatted up Otto from OBL and he obliged my request to check out door removal and parking brake operation.
Grab handles - they're all flimsy, not just the center console one. For that matter, almost everything plastic felt kind if cheap and unstable. I accept it.
Lighting - I'm all in on sig lighting but standard lights looked super nice in person too, don't feel bad about them.
Grilles - the unpainted BD was textured, the painted OBX was smooth.
HLIP - if it's the dash, there was no real difference in texture and sound. Both sounded like thin plastic when rapped on. The BD had that same plastic on the upper door card while the OBX was MGV wrapped.
Lift - I measured 6" from axle to frame on both.
Parking brake. It's a very audible electric sound when it actuates. It cannot be turned off without the key fob around. Great for doorless operation.
Door hinges - I noticed poor paint coverage on both the door side and body side of the hinge. It wasn't overspray, it was e-coat showing through. It wasn't bad enough to bother me though.
More pictures to come on page 2 with descriptions.
