The MillerPKA 3.0 build - 2019 TRD ORP

[MillerPKA]

Well the last couple months I've been plotting a round of upgrades and finally have the task list together. Starting this Friday with the headlights and should have everything wrapped up in the next 6 weeks or so.

- AlphaRex Nova headlights
- sPOD install
- Air compressor install
- Pioneer DMH-WT8600NEX
- Speedir infared camera system
- TJM snorkel
- Goal Zero Link kit
- TC Expedition lower control arms
- Secondary front shocks
- 35x1250 Grabber X3s
- TC spindle gusset
- TC rear link kit (potentially)
- TC BMC plate
- Nitro 4.56 gears
- Nitro chromoly axle shafts

As with the video above, I'm going to be documenting the process in 4k and will probably release them by episode. Looking forward to getting started!

I am obsessed with this build! I have been slowly working on mine, how do you like that CBI front bumper? Thats next on my list, once i save up enough.

I think the CBI is my favorite option of all of them. They just did an excellent job complementing the factory linework and the workmanship is top notch.

Awesome build so far [MENTION=8329]MillerPKA[/MENTION] Did you meet Doug at Toytec? I used to be close with those guys when I lived there and was their test truck for the 4th Gen Body Lift years ago. Great group of guys but not sure who is all still there.

Looking forward to the rest of your build! :rockon:

Love your truck! How about a review on those Grabber X3's? You seem to have run a few sets what kind of mileage you getting out of them and how are they in snow? I am getting them next week when I get my lift put on.

Thanks man - yeah I've known Doug for a long time. He and Ric are still there definitely a great group of people.

I continue to love them. I wrote this review a few years ago and I still feel the same. General Tire Grabber X3 Review | Outworld

Wear is above average for a M/T and I was very happy with their snow performance. Their Grabber A/T X may be a tiny bit better in snow but both I was impressed by.

I read that review once before.I can't wait to get them.I have the Grabber ATx now and love them but time to move up to the X3!

Ya, used to wheel with Ric a lot with CO4LO. If you ever talk to them again tell them, ironically, Doug says hi. Looking forward to the rest of your build and travels. :rockon:

Making some progress. I'm planning to leave for a 2-3 month road trip mid-April so there's a lot to bang out before departing.

Looking good! Crazy how quickly you’ve had all of the work completed. This would (will) take me years! [emoji16]

When I got the vehicle built, I filmed the entire process in 4K and just got around to creating the video. It's below if anyone is interested:

Great video this one actually comes up on my YouTube suggested videos a lot lol

Are you going to make more with the footage you were teasing at the end? That's the kind of stuff I wanna see!

Yeah I just need to get out more. I was supposed to leave 3 days ago on a 3 month trip but that was obviously changed. Just finished most of the work, after a few interior tweaks and regear it's basically finished.

35s are on

 

[16RedRunner]

Man that looks great with the 35's.I love my X3's!!

They're a badass tire. May pick up their Grabber A/T X on a different set of wheels for the longer trips because those things are the bee's knees.

I kept the ATx's I took off mine Great tire! I might put them on my FJ since the BFG KM2 on there now are about done.

Finally got the new rooftop tent in and absolutely love it. It's an Autohome Air Top 360. They're made in Italy and this one was leaving port back in Feb when it got turned around and quarantined. This one has eight windows with some privacy screening that allows full view from the inside but very dark from the outside. I made some custom spacer brackets out of 3/4" steel square tubing to give it enough space to clear the rear chase bar and allow the ARB awning to mount but still appear flush. Came out perfectly. Working remote next week in the Eastern Sierra most likely and seeing how comfortable/productive I'll be. Can't wait!

I've done a full walk around of the build as it stands now
