    I purchased the truck new in 2009 with 15 miles on it. Before I even purchased the truck, I had plans to make this thing a bit more capable off-road. It took me 4 years before I had the means to do much to it because of job layoffs/restructuring and a very long bank fraud case which ultimately ended up losing because major banks can apparently afford better legal support than me, go figure.

    Anyway, here is the breakdown and I am sure I am missing things:

    2009 TRD Sport DCSB (Super White)
    Suspension:

    *King RR Coilovers w/ 700# Springs up front
    *Total Chaos UCA
    *King RR Rear Shocks
    *Icon Mini Pack AAL
    *Wheelers SuperBumps Front and Rear
    *Disappearing Swaybar Mod

    Wheels & Tires:

    *17” Fuel Off-Road Trophy Wheels
    *265/70/17 Goodyear Duratracs

    Armor:

    *CBI Moab 2.0 Front Bumper
    *CBI Trail Rider 2.0 Rear Bumper

    Recovery:

    *Warn VR8000 Winch w/ Synthetic Line
    *Factor 55 Prolink Winch Line Attachment
    *Clevis Shackles
    *Hi-lift mounted in bed w/ ArmorTech Off-Road Mounts

    Performance:
    *Volant CAI w/ Ram Air
    *MBRP Stainless Off-Road Exhaust (dumps before axle)
    *URD Maf Calibrator on the way
    *Powerstop Brake Kit (drilled and slotted rotors with pads)
    *Calipers painted with blue G2 Caliper Paint kit (Adds at least 5HP right?)

    Functional Aesthetics:
    *Anzo Black Headlights
    *IPCW Bermuda Black LED Taillights w/ Cree LED reverse lights
    *IPCW LED Third Brake Light
    *ImMrYo Rearview Relocation Bracket
    *Bushwacker Pocket Style Fender Flares

    Security:
    *Viper 5704v 2-Way Alarm
    *Gate Keeper
    *Rear Sliding Window Security Bar

    Unfortunately I do not have much for "Before" pictures, but you all know what a stock truck looks like.

    Love the build! I am also getting trophys and duratracs. Did you get C rated or E rated? Also what PSI are you running for street use? Seems to be controversy over aftermarket tires and inflation.

    They are awesome wheels and a good combination with the Duratracs so far.

    Mine are E-rated running 33 PSI at the moment. Depends on personal preference and driving habits really.

    It turned out to be a pretty vivid blue, almost purple at some angles. Turned out well though and I like it.

    Getting the CBI front bumper soon. Love the look of it. The ARB is way too bulky for my now more experienced taste.

    Good lookin' ride.
