sqtx's 2018 TRD ORP Build

[sqtx]

So the new 4runner is a little over a month old, and I am starting to catch the modding bug.

It came with the off road package from the factory. I was able to work a deal. So out of the gate it has the Nitto Terra Grappler G2 tires, TRD Wheels, the all weather mats, and Toyota Rock Sliders.
Completed Upgrade List:
-2-3" inch suspension lift (Toytec Ultimate Kit)
-FN Wheels FX Pro
-BF Goodrich 285x70x17 C Rated
-Kendwood Radio w/Maestro Link

Pending Upgrade List
-Ham Radio - Yaeseu FTM-400
-Metaltech Bumper (Ordered)
-Winch


This is a work in progress. I want a vehicle that can do some light off roading, but still maintain some on road manners.

Photos of the Toyota rock sliders, I was not aware they made them for the 4runner

Assume he talking about the $3,700 Off Road Upgrade Package, so probably the N-Fab ones with optional steps.

Edit: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/249231-off-road-upgrade-package.html references the same package I believe.

Yes, that is the package. I did not pay that much though. I never knew who made the rails on this.

Thanks

...and Toyota Rock Sliders.

N-Fab nerf steps.

As opposed to rock sliders:

I will be posting photos once the work actually starts.

You should post photos now so that we can watch the transformation.

Congrats and welcome.

Makes more sense now

Here are photos of the stock 4runner. The lift kit parts should be in towards the end of next month.

The lift is finally installed.

I found out that the Toyota TRD wheels are only 7" wide. So this started the wheel hunt for something that would be capable of mounting at 285 wide tire. I found the FN FX Pro wheel. I should have those by the beginning of next week, and will then have a set of BF Goodrich 285x70xR17 mounted on them. I am going for the C rated tires, since they will ride a little softer than the e rated tires. As always I will post photos once the work is completed. All I can say is the mod bug is contagious.

The wheels and tires are now installed. There is some minor rubbing when on an incline, in reverse and a fully locked turn. It rubs on the front of the inner fender-well. This problem will go a way with the new bumper.

Have you looked into doing the inner fender mod? Its not hard and takes a whole 30 minutes. This eliminates the rubbing as it drove me nuts.

I have and if it does it again I will. I am almost never turning while backing up an incline. So it really hasn't annoyed me yet.

I installed a Kenwood radio, with the Maestro link. I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but it will monitor the transmission temperature.

Love watching this build, since it's almost the same as what I want to do! What model Kenwood did you install? I've been toying with changing out the stock deck. Not a real fan of the Toyota Entune stuff.

It is a DNX994s. I was not a fan of the Entune either. I like this one as the touch screen is capacitive touch. I have been enjoying this build. I would do a roof rack, but I would have a problem with parking garages.
