The Build Thread of my Rocky !!!

[TheWraith]

Installed this today ... And then drove it to work

Definitely felt a bump in power when slightly stepping on the gas pedal. MPG still suck ... But I'm averaging 12.2mpg instead of the regular 11mpg. I've only drove it for 51miles to work. So we'll see ... No matter what URD Products is quality stuff ... Gadget makes good mods.

Going to YotaMasters on Thursday but I'm going to try to tackle a small / large project on Wednesday...

My 2nd Row Conversion ...

pics is from a wrecked 4runner I got my 2nd row from

Good to see Rocky on the "new post" page again. Thanks again for doing all the dyno testing years ago.

yeah responsibilities came first ... so the mods was put in the back burner. So I'm nearing completion of this project. Just need a rear bumper and s/c to complete it...

ps. thanks for remidning me... I need to do a baseline soon on the mods completed soo far; before the s/c gets put on ...

Lessons learn from my 2nd Row Project.

Found out the 2nd row (folding ... Trail Premium and TRD Pro ) head rest does not fit in 2nd row (sliding ... SR5 and Limited w/ 3rd Row).

I've been awake for 24hrs and called it quits... Before I start stripping and breaking shit.

Rocky's in the good hands of YotaMasters in Corona...

 

[TheWraith]

picked up the rig from YotaMasters ... very happy on how smooth the 700lbs springs w/ Total Chaos lower control arms and the delta joints ... it seemed to have smoothened the whole ride out. I cant wait to run this on saturday.

the also installed the stainless steel brake lines w/ ebc pads all around .. wow !!! braking power is nice.

I installed my energy suspension front bump stops.

I installed the ToyTech rear bump stop spacers

They installed the SmittyBilt X20 12k Winch w/ my factor 55 ProLink. And they tensioned my winch rope for me.

this is how the engine bay looks ... I know I know shes dirty ( but aint she suppose to be ???)

they installed my switch pro 9100 and remote mounted my winch controller. And installed the ARB twin compressor with the ARB air tank.

ps. HOLLY Smokes!!! the compressor with the air tank takes 3 to 4mins to air up all my 4 tires from 15psi to 35psi ...

Got sick and tired of my recovery gear, tools, air system and straps rattling or taking much need cargo in my 4runner. I put my old Pelican 1750 case to good use. So I bolted her down to the top of my GOBI rack.

 

[TheWraith]

YES!!! came in early !!!

love these things ... So I installed them asap...

I love the design but they said these things are 180lbs total ... um I dont think so cuz each one was like maybe 40lbs ( front and transmission ) the cross member was maybe 20 to 30lbs.

Looks good! was considering the CBI skids or the LFD ones when I was upgrading to steel. They look great with excellent coverage. Eventually opted to just go with RCI as their alloy one had no issues with my Marlin LCA braces.

yeap!

love them. Never thought I'd hit the skid but actually did a few weeks back. Glad to have them. I think they are a way better value than the TC gussets.

How much where the plates themselves ??? I might get these done... I just hope they don't mess with my CBI skids... Lol just got 'em

I got mine off for 20% when they had their sale. I think the going rate is $129? Similar in cost to TCs. I honestly thought I had to cut the skid as it looked close but it cleared no issues

Got this today

Latest mod ... #RigidArmorAccessories came thru and delivered. I bought their Tire Swing out. Finally have a spare tire when I head to the trails.
Going to test this out this Sunday in Big Bear...

Just tempo till I get a full bumper... Gotta support that #LocalHustle

 

[TheWraith]

Replaced my TRD Intake coupler that always seem to pop itself off in the most inconvenient times. With an HPS silicone hump hose coupler.

HPS is the only one I can find with a 4.25" x 4" long hump coupler. I wished it was red but black will do. If anyone is interested The HPS part# HTSHC-425-L4-BLK

 

[4RunnerAquasport]

But it's not Red?! lol I'm sure Rocky will be happier though. I wonder why it kept popping loose? Mine seems to be doing OK. That's the very intake that started it all for me 5 years ago.

Are these the steel ones? You are saying total weight is about 100 pounds? I will be ordering mine from CBI in early August. Cant wait!

holy crap that looks so good! Awesome build!
