Whistler RKT build thread

[Whistler RKT]

Updated November 2012 - For Sale $42,900 CDN!

I really hate to do it, but my family is out growing my rig, so I am reluctantly putting her up for sale. She has 42,000 kms now, no accidents, immaculate inside and out, just like the pictures on here...


I wanted to buy this 2011 SR5 with the upgrade package...

 

[Whistler RKT]

But first I had to sell my pride and joy of the last 8 years, my 2003 Tacoma.

 

[Whistler RKT]

I loved that truck. Never thought I'd sell it...

 

[Whistler RKT]

Priorities change though, and two months later, the Tacoma was sold and I bought my first 4Runner.

Delivery day...

 

[Whistler RKT]

All extra additions in order of appearance.

Hood deflector...

 

[Whistler RKT]

Weathertech digital fit floor mats front...

 

[Whistler RKT]

And back...

Next came a Pro-Comp 2.5" front / Daystar 2.0" rear leveling kit (waste of time...removed a month later and replaced with an OME kit) with Spidertrax 1.25" wheel spacers...

 

[Whistler RKT]

And BFG 275/70/R17 All-Terrain TA KO's...( The KO's are 10 ply sidewalls. A heavier tire for sure but really helps with sway/body roll)

 

[Whistler RKT]

Mounted...

 

[Whistler RKT]

Window vents...

 

[Whistler RKT]

Thule rack...

 

[Whistler RKT]

And for now, that's all she wrote. (Ya, that was short lived...)

I plan on giving her a true suspension lift down the road, but for now I just wanted it to look and feel the way it should have looked and felt coming out of the factory.

The leveling kit looked cool, but it did nothing for the body roll and nose diving during braking...

 

[Whistler RKT]

Handles great in deep snow...

 

[Whistler RKT]

Loving it...

The Canadian SR5's are really nice looking trucks.

 

[zepjet]

Very nice. I do like the looks of the Canadian 5th Gen and I like the changes you've made.

 

[Err]

Nice build and I love your home town. I've spent a week or two in the area for the past 6 years straight.

 

[Hawkdog21]

That is my favorite SR5 on the board hands down, really clean look to it. (Biased cause I have a trail, maybe :fro

Nice pics too, what kinda hand cannon are you working with?

 

[fmixman]

Great look congrats!

Is there any way for us here in the states to buy Canadian parts?

I notice you guys get the, much better, black front and rear trim parts.

I actually like the fender wells better on the US version in the silver, but I love the black trim. I know there are people who paint them, but I don't see them having tons of luck with that lasting.
