2012 TRD Off-Road: Lost Coast cruiser.

Going to get a build thread going, bare with me as it's a slow progression. Got the rig in May and will be building it up to be the best daily driver it can be, all while being able to handle whatever my weekends throw at it.



Put some 2017 TRD PRO takeoffs on it, called a guy on craigslist... it was my next-door neighbor.



Put a 20" Rigid E2 Combo on it, fabricated a mount and it sits nice and discreetly behind the grill. Used a rigid backup harness and tapped into the high beam, so the switch allows ON (anytime)/OFF/ON (automatic with highs)

Up next is going to be some LED headlight bulbs most likely, these halogen H4's are cutting the mustard and I'm really digging the GTR Gen-3 bulbs.

Planned Mods:
*BFGoodrich KO2's 265/75r16's I love these tires, ran on my Jeep XJ and could not have asked for more from a tire.
*Exhaust: I want to hear the doug thorley pipe bomb with a TRD exhaust, I'm thinking that will be mellow enough with a nice deep tone.
*Intake: AFE, but I'm in California and I got to figure out how to get one shipped here, I hear eBay will ship non-SMOG parts.
*Lightweight engine pulleys: I know, I know... not a lot to gain from this but there is a gain and it's fairly inexpensive, plus I really don't want to go forced induction.
*Fog lights: Rigid DOT's or Baja Designs squadron sports.
*Tint the front windows.
*Suspension: Leaning towards Bilstein 6112's up front and 5160's in the rear with some Firestone airbags or Sumosprings to aid when towing.
*Stereo: Likely a compact Alpine amp, some JBL 2-way 6.5's in the back, 2-way 6x9's up front with an additional set of tweeters to replace the ones in the doors. No need for a sub as I can get plenty of sound/base from some decent speakers.
*There will probably be more to come, but I want this thing to look like a factory optioned rig to not attract unwanted attention.

 

Nice looking truck ya got there.
