4RunRunFun's '16 TRD Pro Build Thread

[4RunRunFun]

Shrockworks Rock Sliders
The dealership was nice enough to transfer the sliders from the '15.

Installed 33s before the lift.
Cooper ST MAXX 285/70/17
Oddly enough there was no rubbing during regular driving. Time to put on the lift.

Standard vs. Toytech Superflex 2.5" Coils

HoveRunner - Installing rear coils

Some Disassembly Required

Supreme Suspensions 2" Front Spacer

Mission Accomplished! So far...
We also installed Light Racing UCAs, but I forget to get a pic before it was all put back together.

I have to give big thanks to my T4R.org wheeling buddy Parker for all of the hand me down parts, installing them, and ideas for future upgrades. You saved me a ton of time and money!

You just replaced the most expensive piece of your pro ... If you're happy that's all that matters but you couldve saved yourself about 8k and just bought a MGM Trail... It would look the exact same with the wheels badge and grill and your wallet would be a lot heavier.

Is it just me or is that a LOT of forward rake going on?

EDIT: I edited my post to say "spacer" instead of "kit". It was copy pasta from my excel sheet which I copied from the SS website. I can see how you would be confused. I'm leaving this post to show how much of an a$$hole I was. My apologies for being rude.

I'm not sure I understand your statement here. The Billsteins are still there. The only things replaced were the tires, rear coils and the UCAs. Am I missing something or do you not know what you are talking about?

FYI, all of the parts were used except for the tires and front lift spacers. Thanks for your concern, but my wallet is heavy enough to do what I want with my ride. Feel free to come back to this thread in the future to explain to me how you would spend my money. I do enjoy a good chuckle every now and then.

I completely agree with you. After I install my rear bumper/tire carrier, fuel cell and roof rack I will make adjustments as needed. No reason to worry about it until I get all of that weight on it.

How you like the Coopers so far ? What's the mpg impact ?

I'm still debating on going trade pro or trail with suspension

They aren't loud by any means. I'll have to get a few more miles with them both on/off road for an informed opinion.

I haven't done a proper MPG calculation just yet. The electronic MPG gauge is reading about 15.5 average on the highway, but with larger tires it can't be very accurate. I'll let you know after I run close to a full tank.

I'm surprise they are that high in the rear considering they're only 2" lift. It seems close to the 3" Icon Overland I have. I'm sure they will settle down with all that you plan to add.

You are correct. They are 2.5" rear coils. I will have to make another edit.
