Overland build for my father

Yup. Wanted the RTT height close to the same as the cabin's.

Here's a few photos.

It's like 27.5" from bed to rails.

 

Awesome! Thanks a TON for taking those photos. That's actually a lot more clearance than I thought. I may end up going with this option as well to keep load height on the rack equal to the cabin.

 

Had @marinemonkey do the CMC. Man it looks OEM. Such a clean job. Highly recommend him for people in Georgia or the southeast.

Also added the 5100's, OME 2886, SPR UCA, Icon 1.5 AAL, TRD Skid Plate and RAYS Engineering Center Caps.

 

Took a while but the C4 bumpers finally came in!

Front is on. Probably install the rear next week.

 

did you have to do a CMC?

 

Yes. Got it done by a member on the forums here. It looks really clean and OEM.

 

im assuming because of the 33” tires. Did you have rub after the 3” lift?

 

Yes. Even after the lift it rubbed.

 

Some better quality photos.

 

Those wheels are freaking SMOKIN’! Love that color on a white Tacoma.

 

Realized the truck's panel doesn't have a cubby so I'd have to get an oem one with the cubby + a switch panel + switches.... So I decided to just start installing the ones that came with the lights onto what I've got lol

 

Done

 

Painted the TRD Skid plate flat black

 

So the front bumper was really easy with 2 people even with the winch on it.

For the rear I recommend 3 people. 2 to lift from the sides and 1 to guide from directly behind the truck and to thread a few bolts in place. The c4 high clearance rear bumper fits perfectly and as a result it needs to be lifted very carefully when bolting it up since there is little room for error before you start running against panels with it.

After this photo I installed the license plate and license plate LED but it started to rain. Tomorrow I'll install the swing arm.

 

I love C4's bumpers. I'm waiting on the hybrid with full hoop. I probably still have about 10 weeks to go lol. Did you cut the bumper yourself?

 

Yes I did. Just got done cutting and installing the rear high clearance bumper also.
I'll post a better pic in the morning but I lined the front bumper with rubber edge trim and it looks great. Same for the rear.

 

Truck looks so freaking good. Any plans for skids and sliders? I noticed the truck originally had predator type steps, and then you moved to running boards.

 

Hey, swapped to running boards because he liked the appearance of them more than the steps. I started researching sliders but a lot of people seemed to have issues with low production quality and rust lately. For his needs he doesn't really need sliders but maybe eventually.

 

Take a look at Greenlane Offroad - aluminum sliders. You can get them with full top plate and 0* or 12.5* angle. I have the ones with bump out, 12.5* angle, and full top plate. To really use them at steps you'll need to get the 0* ones. Light weight, awesome powdercoating, and will never rust. They will take some casually rubbing with ease as well.

 

I'd definitely also recommend some kind of 0 degree top plated slider. They would round out your build so well, and would make it 100% complete looking in my book! I'm a huge fan of the truck AND civic, and I can tell you only settle for some of the best of the best, so definitely don't take my comment as "you're missing sliders" or "it needs them". You obviously have a build goal in mind, and have built a truck 10x cooler than mine; BUT, if you get to a point where you just need another mod and not sure what to do next, sliders would give it that "completed" take it anywhere offroad kind of look.
