Cement Grey Daily Driven TRD Pro (mild) Build

As an update in regards to the, rubbing I have not experienced any rubbing issues at full lock reverse and forward.

So far I'm very impressed with the road manners of the Nitto Ridge Grapplers they're quite on the road and handled well in the rain. I'll update in the future once I test them off road.

The suspension is no different than the factory feel.

My only Issue is the front being higher 1/2" which I knew was going to occur and It will have my OCD on high alert till my bumper and winch arrive from the guys at [MENTION=131444]C4 Fabrication[/MENTION].

As a side note for those just looking to level I believe the Toyotec front spacer kit (just one not both) will be the perfect option.
 
Got the HIDs installed.

I went with KelvinHID brand which I been using on my last 4 cars and the most reliable brand I have found.

Went with 6000k

Also installed the Husky Liner mats. I went with Husky as it overlays over the dead pedal were the Weathertech does not.

Also refreshed the badges with TRD Pro badges. I have some extras If anyone is interested I'll do them for $25 a pair shipped. As a side note, I'm not in the business of selling badges just trying to recoup the money I invested in the minimum order I had to place. I also have some TRD Off-Road which I made for my co-worker - PM me if interested in these.

Wow!

[MENTION=165249]delaWeb[/MENTION] your build looks like it's got a solid future. Do you feel like your rig is a bit slow due to it being covered in cement? :bounce:

Thanks! Yeah the top is amazing it added a good amount of headroom inside. It's also very practical for my dog also as I have the back seat removed and I slide open the back windows and he loves it. But in the 4Runner I fold those back seats down and open the two rear windows and the tailgate window and he likes it even more lol.

Yeah that cement is really bogging me down lol.

Speaking of I'm documenting my MPG for a Mon-Fri commute with the factory tires and with the upgraded 285/70/17s. I have one more day to go to get a good average the stock average was 17.3MPG we'll see the end outcome tomorrow of the weekly average on the new tires.
 
Love the Lift and tires. I see your in Miami, Who did the Install? Can you recommend them? Good service, Price? Its so hard to find decent shops down here.

Tell me about it. My Jeep was a nightmare to get right. The shop I used is WheelRoc in Doral, both the installers they have I know for certain have been in the industry for 15+ years (I've worked with them both at some capacity or another). If it's bolt on stuff like what I got done you should be good. If you decide to use them PM me and I'll put you in contact with the owner.

To be honest I wanted to sell the Jeep so that rather than having two offroad toys I can have one offroad toy and something else.

I initially wanted a 356 Porsche however I'm now learning those can fetch $20k in conditions needing another $20k just to make them decent. As of today, I don't have any interest in anything that would lead for me to sell the Jeep to pursue.

Also here in Miami local to me we only have pretty heavy swamps to offroad in. With that said for now I plan to keep the Jeep for my swamp voyages and the 4Runner for offroad use outside of Miami which require some traveling.

This is exactly why I would not sell it. You own two great vehicles and if you ever move out of the swamp like I did, you will be very happy you kept that Jeep. I sold my Rubicon in FL and wish I had it here in the NC mountains. Love your build so far and look forward to more of it. :tea:
