Raycie's Trail Build

[ExploreABitMore]

Since the cover went on, I thought I may as well try and spray the lower piece. I tried the first time to dip it on the truck, but the line came off bad... I decided to take the piece off, and dip it separate.. Did the rear as well..

Nice looking rig!

Was it pretty easy to take off the front/rear bumper peices? I'm going to plastidip mine in the coming weeks and figured I'd just take them off if it wasn't a PIA.

Do the 275s rub at all off-road?

Thanks

Thanks.. Need to update some pics.

I didn't take off the rear.. I just sprayed it in place.. A friend used actual paint, on his front and rear, pulled off the bumper to take off the rear. The front, you can remove with no very little problems.

As far as the 275s, I did get some rub on the front mud flaps. I removed the flaps until I get a lift. Off-road, we will be going this Saturday so I'll report back after that. One thing is for sure, I need a front lift and possibly rear. The front looks pretty stuffed with the PRO rims and the 275s. The rear with the camping gear is gonna sag. Probably about 200lbs.

Thanks Raycie, glad to hear they come off pretty easily. Guess I should stick with the 265s for now myself, because it is going to be a long while before I do a lift, if at all. But, just ordered some Stealth SR8 wheels last week, which are supposed to come in around Mid Jan, then I'll also be getting some of those K02s! Be curious how the off-road goes with the 275s though, thanks!

Did a little camping trip this weekend... broke in the 4R a bit....will upload more pics later, but 1st pic is the main trail. Sloppy when wet...

The truck did great as expected... Definitely need a lift as some deep holes, I bottomed out.. Think I may have dented the stock skid plate as well (I'll check later).

The KO2s did great... Usually it is totally raining and slippery when we leave camp. Thankfully it was not raining, so can't totally say the KO2s are AWESOME yet...

Roof rack

Just wondering if you sold or are willing to sell the stock roof racks.

Sold mine, but have a couple friends who may be ready to sell theirs (off a pro and a trail). PM me what you are willing to pay, and I'll forward to them. Have my side steps ready to sell for cheap if you want those...

If you don't mind, how much was that "toyota" grill? Thanks, Fahn

Clean build so far. Every time I start looking through 14-16 pics it makes me want to trade mine lol. :nicethread:

 

[raycie]

Haven't updated in a bit.

-Added some Pelfreybilt sliders

-ARB Twin Compressor

-3" ARB lift all around. 884s in front, rear springs as well

-Heretic Studios 22" light bar w/ grill mounting brackets from @brad

-Rigid SRQ floods as ditch lights on the FrontRunner

-Rigid SRQ Diffused as reverse/camping lights

-Aux power with Deutsch connector so I can hook up my single Rigid SRQ Diffused as a camping or a work light.

Have a camping trip coming up soon....

Great build so far. You and I are going down very similar paths. BTW, you need more pics of your entire rig. :nod:

OME 884 lift

Rig is looking great!

Have you had a chance to measure the setting height of your lift with the OME 884 springs? I'm considering this setup and trying t decide between 884 and 895 springs. What did you put in the rear?

Beautiful ride.

We have a very similar set up. I trashed my stock skid plates on my first drive through the desert. Had BudBuilt build a full set. Highly recommended.

Did you ever figure out a solution to the rattling with the Extended rack and sunroof?

 

[raycie]

Did you ever figure out a solution to the rattling with the Extended rack and sunroof?

Yea... was actually coming from vibration of the fairing (that pops up when the sunroof opens) and the roof... a couple of felt pads on the roof metal and good to go...

Love the truck.

How much did you pay for the extended front runner to Hawaiʻi? I'm thinking of going the same route as you or maybe the K9 rack. Mahalo!

I forget... I know it was a bit more than the standard one. Just call FR and ask for the extended version for the 5th gen. They will know what you are asking about.

As far as shipping, I got this rack through [MENTION=123342]BOSS4x4[/MENTION]. Sarah ships to Oahu a bunch and saves us greatly on shipping. FR ships lower 48 free.. not to HI. So, just buy it through her, she will take care of you on price, and she will ship it out. If you want to save a little more, wait to send via a pallet order and all the peeps split the shipping. I know mostly everyone who is on most pallet orders.. most are tacomaworld (TW) guys I know..

I actually have some ARB skids that will be shipping out on the next pallet. Saving about $70 rather than sending just the skids.. A pallet is being put together soon, so contact her sooner than later..

Mahalos [MENTION=131287]raycie[/MENTION] for the advice. I'll definitely look into going that route. Btw I was the on that just recently started following you on IG. You got a bad ass rig! Hopefully I see you driving around sometime. I may have to pick your brain on some other things for my rig in the future.
