SUPER nicely done!!

Powercoat your TRD skid while you are powdercoating your trailer!
 
Just thought I'd give an update on my build. I just ordered a whole bunch of goodies that will be installed in the next week or so. I'll be sure to post up pics of everything.

Ordered the following:

SSS Hybrid Front Bumper
Warn Zeon 8-S Winch
JL Audio TR350-CXi 3-1/2 (Dash)
ALPINE SPR-69 6X9" 2-WAY COAXIAL SPEAKERS (Front Door)
2 of Alpine SPS-610 6-½" 2-Way Car Speakers(Rear Doors & Hatch)
Alpine PDR-V75 5-channel car amplifier - 75 watts RMS x 4 at 4 ohms + 350 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms
Alpine RUX-KNOB Remote Bass Level Control Knob for PDX-M12 and PDX-M6
JL Audio 10W3v3-2 10" Single 2 ohm W3v3 Series Subwoofer 10W3v3

Going to build a custom box for the sub. Hoping to keep it low profile and not have it take up too much space. We'll see what we come up with.

Stay tuned...
 
Just an update on the build. I received everything that I ordered and everything was intact. No problems there. Now time for surgery. First order of business was the SSS Hybrid Bumper. What a great looking piece. Well made and fitment is great. I'll let the pics do the talking but so far so good. No major hiccups and coming along just fine...

This is where it gets fun. I opted for a light bar between the shackles and I knew that the lightbar that came with the bumper wouldn't cut it so I took the chance that my Rigid 28" E-Series lightbar would fit. Turns out its a perfect fit height-wise but as you can see I needed to cut about an inch on either side to fit it. Out came the plasma cutter and off we go...

BOOM!! Perfect fit!!

Was contemplating cutting the welds out for the lightbar mounts but didn't want to chance ruining the powdercoated finish. Instead, we opted to drill a hole on each side and secure it with stainless steel. I think it came out nice and clean.

I have the D2's installed in the factory foglight location and tied into the factory fog light switch, complete with the independent fog light mod so I can turn them on separate from the headlights. I'll post a pic of them on as soon as they are wired in.

Love the low profile look of the bumper. It hardly sticks out past the factory bumper. Clean and simple.

Time to install the ditch lights. Was able to get the brackets installed and have zero gap as others have experienced. It required cutting out a piece of the panel under the hood.

Perfect fit:

I installed the rack last night with the help of a friend and it took us about 3 hours total. I have to install the fairing yet and will do that tonight. Overall, it came out exactly as I envisioned it. I absolutely love the Gobi Stealth rack and can't speak enough about it. Anyone on the fence, just go get it. I had it on my 4th gen and although i thought it looked badass on that, it looks even better on my TRDP. I was a little hesitant on putting the ladder on but I did and holy crap it looks badass. I went with a Rigid 40" RDS Curved LED Bar and 2 6" SR light bars in the rear (putting those on tonight).

As far as the hatch struts, they def will need to be upgraded to heavy duty ones. Luckily I had ordered those the same time I ordered the rack. I'll be putting those on tonight as well.

So overall, I'm really happy with the build and quality of the Gobi Stealth. Here are a few teaser pics for now. Ill post more once I get the fairing and the rear lights on. Enjoy!!

Looks great! Love when I see another black DARE plate too!
 
First properly aligned ditch lights I have seen in a while! Did you add them to Apocalypse mode? :D

Nice work truck looks sweet. I appreciate the attention to detail, ie you do clean work.

Thank you for the comments. Sadly, I can not take credit for the work. My close friend whom i've know for many years does all my work and he is just an absolute genius when it comes to this stuff. He is the ONLY one I trust to touch any of my vehicles. I create the vision and he makes it happen.

I absolutely added the ditch lights to apocalypse mode. Since I moved the Amber D2's to the factory fog light switch, it freed up the switch in the panel to be used for the ditch lights. Worked out perfect.

Still more to come so stay tuned....
 
Nice build! Did you happen to keep the black cover for the front bumper you cut out (can't remember the technical term for it right now)? If so would you consider selling it?

Yes I still have it and it's fully intact. I never actually thought to sell it but I really have no use for it. Send me an offer.
 
Great thread! I was shocked when you mentioned plasma cutter but then realized it was your friend's. They are an amazing thing to have but not a tool the average guy has.
