414Runner '18 TRD ORP build and (city) adventure thread

[414Runner]

I wish I was a little bit taller.

Got home from Jamaica to find these bad boys waiting for me. The plan is to put these on this spring, but we'll see if I can wait that long.

Going with 1.75 up front and the 1" spacers from Cornfed in the back.

Got 5+ inches of snow today in Milwaukee, so I had to go out and play in it!

These stock tires definitely leave something to desire tho.

5100 1.75" lift and Cornfed Spacers!

After having the Bilstein's and Cornfed spacers for 2 months, I finally got them installed. Looks great and rides much better. If anyone is interested I can post before and after measurements this weekend.

Next up, Spidertrax wheel spacers and some different rubber!

It looks good. I just picked my magnetic gray ORP yesterday. Haven’t had a chance to do much with it yet but looking forward to the weekend.

Post Lake, WI

Made a quick trip up to Post Lake for a few days this past weekend. Had to get out on some of the logging roads up there. It was about 32-34 degrees, so pretty slushy and some half frozen mud in the heavy equipment rutts. Nothing the 4R couldn't handle, but these stock tires are definitely lacking.

Gobi Rack

Picked up and installed a Gobi stealth rack today. Thanks [MENTION=174185]WhatIsG15[/MENTION] for the awesome deal!

Plasti-dipped the stock TRD OR wheels yesterday. I'll post up a better picture when the weather clears up, but this was right when I finished. Turned out better than expected. 5 coats of black and 1 glossifier.

I just platidipped my emblems and such and wanting to do the wheels. Curious how it holds up.

Your rig is looking dang good!!

Thanks! So far, so good. Its fully cured now and I'm actually really impressed with the finish. It looks like it should hold up pretty well, but only time will tell.

The last 2 weekends I've been able to get up to the Kettle Moraine North Unit and camp at Long Lake. Here are a few pics from the 2 trips.

Monday I had some Falken Wildpeak AT3w's installed. Went with P rated 265/70/17.

These things are far more aggressive looking than I imagined and are awesome on the road. So far, if anything, I've dropped half a MPG, but they were only aired up to 30PSI. I'm going to bump it up a bit and see how it rides.

Anyone else running these? What are your thoughts?

I just had the same tires and size installed Monday as well. Our builds and purpose are pretty similar. I'll be following along to see what all you do to it. Your color was one of the few I would have gone with. Something about the white just grabbed me though. Possibly because I never had a white rig before.

Hey man, just saw this. How are the Falkens treating you? I just got back from the Chequamegon National Forest and they worked awesome for me.

Your rig looks awesome! I was torn between the gray and white. I had never seen a gray one running around the Milwaukee area so I went for it.

Took a trip up to the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest (Laona/Lakewood area) and it was awesome! Super remote, thick forest everywhere once you got in, and some pretty thick paths to navigate. Here are just a few pics from the trip.

I also attempted my first video edit. Let me know your thoughts! https://www.instagram.com/p/Bl2z73kHbXV/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=m3bw2uqdt3iu

Waterport installed today. Can't wait to get back to the National Forest next week!

This thing is awesome.

Great looking rig. Neat to see you are from Wisconsin as well!

Built a dual drawer setup this past weekend. Used 130# rated drawer slides and they’re real smooth.

Next weekend will be pulling the drawers and box out to finish the sides and face with truck bed liner and lay down some carpeting on the top. Also need to figure out a permanent mount for them.

Anyone with drawers use stock bolts in the trunk floor area? Suggestions on locating them?

Finished off the drawers today. Carpeted the top and rattle canned the drawer faces and cabinet sides with matte black.

Will be figuring out a permanent way to secure the drawers sooner than later, as well as affixing the ARB fridge wiring loom. Ran that from the battery back this past weekend.
