Travis' 06 SR5 4WD build thread!

Well just a little update to the build.

No new stuff but I've got some big plans.

-285/70/17 KM2s or MTR Kevlars
-Bronze Stealth Custom Series SR8 wheels. :hail:
-Glassworks front fenders
-Internal Snorkel mod will be done soon
-Getting rid of the two 12" subs in the back. Need more room for gear!
-And sliders!! finally!!

I'm planning on going on lots of trips this summer so I am attempting to make my build more overlandish. I really really want a RTT but do not have the funds for it. A Hammock will get the job done for now. Cannot wait for all the new goodies and hopefully they will be purchased and installed within a few months.
 
I believe it's about time to update this!

Got some new shoes. Goodyear Duratracs in 285/75/16 with some bronze level 8 mk6s. Rides so much better than the Km1s and they are awesome offroad. Aired down to 15 psi and they rock on the rocks.

Also went to Hidden Falls this weekend and hit some trails with the texas TTORA guys. Awesome group of people with some nice tacomas. The 4runner did just fine on the level 4 & 5 trails and earned some new trail damage.

Whats your mpg like with the duratracs? I'm getting 15 city 17 why or so with 255 MTR's so I'm almost scared to go any bigger.

Mines about 15-16 highway and 12-13 city. Not quite time to regear but the loss of power is noticeable.

Looks like HF was a blast. Is it just me or is your alignment F'd in the second pic on driver front tire?

HF was a blast!, and yeah i took that pic before I went to go get it aligned. Messed up my alignment somehow

Your rig looks awesome with the new tires. Welcome to the 33" club!


Thanks man!

Those are some nice looking wheels.


Thanks! Gotta love fake te37s for 1/6 of the price
 
Ah ok gotcha. I always thought they looked like TE37's, they're a great wheel. I helped my buddy put a nice set on his NSX and we did C/O's. I really want to get the SR8's I like how they look like a TE37 with a rock-ring!

That is a sexy NSX! And yeah the SR8s are so nice. I will probably get them later down the line. My new wheels have so much rock rash on the from hidden falls this weekend. Rock rings would definitely help

Yeah it's a super nice car. His mom bought it brand new and drove it about 20k, he got to drive it to prom etc...them she gave it to him for graduating college so he started modding it. Super fun and well setup car. How was HF without sliders? I ask because my roommates Tacoma got in some real trouble out there without slider and his rocker panels paid the price, granted he was at stock height.

i had just a little scrape on my passenger side panel but I took a bypass or two where it got pretty rough. Sliders definitely would of helped.
 
At the Dallas Cars and Coffee today I saw a jeep with a nice tube door design. Behind the tube, on the inside of the car is actually a tough kind of net that color matched the jeep.

See if your friends can do something like this cause I would definitely be interested in a set

Figured I'd post a few pics with the doors off. I had them off for a week and it was awesome.
Don't be afraid of doing it from all the people saying that it's never gonna align back properly or your wiring will never work again.
If a stupid 18 year old and his friends can take them on and off with no problems you'll be fine.
