RebRunner Build

[jwfowler]

Finally hit the post requirement here is my stock to not quick build thread.

I'm currently still in school at Ole Miss and when Im not there the rig can be seen frequently traveling Eastern North Carolina and Central Virginia very on the go person.

Took a couple months to find the nautical blue trail that I had my mind set on, and after being screwed on one from a local dealer I found mine as a dealer demo up in Pennsylvania with 110 miles on the clock. The rig doesn't have KDSS. Mods started as soon as I pulled in the driveway.

Previous vehicle was a z71 Tahoe with 3 inch lift 34s tow mirrors and my ARB awning.

Objective for the Runner is a capable overlanding rig and its going to be my daily for the time being. It'll be driven till it dies.
Any questions are welcomed and I'll do my best to help anyone out on info/thoughts as the forum has been crucial to my continuous build.
The trail dogs name is DJ (Dixie Junior) and currently approves of the rear window sliding down.

The ladder on the back is a great touch. How much did you pay for that?

 

[jwfowler]

The ladder? $215 from Trail Duty

Awesome rig man. I just got a Nauti Blue base Trail as well.

And uh yeah, my dog leaves his fur all over the car. I'm definitely going to upgrade to Katzkin in the future too.

Pretty much what i want to do with mine, now if my wallet would let me...

Wow I really like the light bar. It blends in nicely with the roof rack and everything on top.

Any questions just ask man. Had been saving the mod budget for awhile now before I purchased the vehicle, having plenty of time these days too, so thankfully was able to take to approach of pulling the trigger now.

Appreciate it , being a single row the height of the light bar matches perfectly with the width of the K9 rack, so very streamlined.

How do you like the D2's as your fogs? I've been looking into doing the same or fittings some PIAA LEDs in there.

Is there a reason you went with the ST Maxx in 255/80/17 vs 275/70/17?

I love them, the pattern is driving and I have yellow lamin-x over them. the spread is great and the amount of light they throw is game changing, as effective if not more than my single row on the rack.

On another note although more expensive Baja Designs kit is 100% plug and play with the factory harness, I cut the factory ends and spliced the other end of the Rigid harness in, no issues.

I knew I wanted the 33 inch tire is all. They look great and I considered the 285 option for the more aggressive look and width but with my Spidertrax the 255s look plenty aggressive and lines up with the fenders spacing wise. Only trimming I needed was removing the front mudflaps.

Thanks for the info. I think I'll stick with Rigid since I have an account with them. But the yellow looks good and probably helps with on coming traffic from getting pissed at you.

On that note I'll add that they are bright enough I don't run them at night, but when I do I haven't had anyone flashing at me.
