Mass Overland Build - 2017 TRD Off-Road Premium in Super White​

05/11/2017 Picked up 2017 Off-Road Premium at 9 miles.

05/13/2017 Plasti dip over 2 days.

05/23/2017 Hitting the Texas dirt. (Coupland, TX)

06/04/2017 ARB Rear Diff Breather Install

Unfortunately, I routed part of it right next to the catalytic converter and had to cut the burnt piece off and built a small coupling using the remaining ARB thingies and just sealed them with silicon tape.

07/12/2017 2 Month Miles

07/20/2017 KO2's

Went to Discount Tire to order General Grabber X3, but ended up buying these 1500 miles used KO's for $120 each. I think that was a good deal.

07/26/2017 Suspension: Step 1

Ordered Fox 2.0 IFP Front Coilovers Today. Let's see what comes of it.

Front Suspension Upgrade

In the front went with Fox 2.0 Coilovers.

Front:
Droop: 24.5 from 24inch
Center of hub to bottom of fender: 22.5 from 20inch.

Overall ride is great. No nose dive (till I go with rear). Overall love it.

You left out the vinyl warped hood mod

How's the dip in front holding up? How many coats did you apply? How many miles do you put on your T4R in a month?

I've got quite a number of obvious chips; it looks bad. I'll post a picture soon. Been thinking about coating again or taking it off and doing something else. I did around 3 coats originally.

I am about to hit the 3 month mark of owning it in 2 days and as of today I've got 9400 miles on it. Today I was quite sad as I realized I've lost the new car smell because of all the oil and gas related tools I carry around in the trunk.

I drive on average 100-150 miles a day for work.

That looks like it rubs like a mofo.

Nice! I also picked up a Super White Off-Road Premium recently. Gonna be following your thread to get some inspiration.

For myself:

-In mail, TRD Pro black wheels
-Once these arrive, will put on 265/70r16 BFG KO2's

Think I might leave the front grille stock for now, can't justify the $600 Pro conversion.....

Update 2018-01-11 [Interior Lights]

Went missing there for a bit. During that time I've got a couple of upgrades done. Here's the one I did right after the front suspension.

I picked myself some Red Precision LED's for the interior. But decided on white for vanity mirrors.

Here are the results:

Vanity Mirror Lights Comparison:

Red Map Lights:

Dome and Door Lights Before: (Dome RED is not at all bright and it's hard to see much at night inside.):

Dome and Door Lights After (Dome RED is not at all bright and it's hard to see much at night inside.):

Next upgrade was rear springs and shocks, also removed the step bars to get some sliders later on. Stopped there, but am being delivered a second battery tray from Shrockworks next week.
