SidZer0's 2016 TRD Sport build...

Purchased 1/16/16:



As of 2/18/16:

17x8 Bronze fx Pro wheels
265/70/17 BFG KO2's
Plasti dipped grille
Debadged & removed lower air dam
Black reflective vinyl tailgate inserts
Upgraded bulbs: Phillips Diamond Vision White 5k (headlights), Optilux XY H11 Yellow Halogen bulbs (fogs) & JDM Astar 800 LEDs (reverse)

 

Looks great!

I'm in the pan handle. Pensacola/FWB area.

I'm gonna throw on the KO2's on the next time I can get them on sale. Any issues with rubbing, road noise, ride quality?

Let me know how you like the headlights compared to OEM...

Looking forward to see what else you do with her.

 

Thanks.

No rubbing at all with the stock Sport suspension. Ride is just as smooth as stock with a slightly louder hum at highway speeds.

Very happy with the headlight and fog upgrades. Headlights are def. whiter and almost an exact match to the daytime LEDs.

Next purchase will probably be some low profile steps or sliders...need to let my bank acct recover 1st.

 

Thanks for the info... I've been looking at everyones headlight choices and just waiting to see what's out there.

My next big mod will definitely be tires.

As for sliders, here is a write up on the ones I have. I recommend SOS and am very happy with the sliders. Sliders > Steps any day of the week!

You can also see a few other things I've done on my build page.

 

Yeah I would prefer to go the slider route mostly for the door protection not for off road protection as this truck will probably never see any offroad action whatsoever.

I like those SOS sliders. How much was the shipping to FL?

I chose to stick with halogens over HID or LED kits due to ease of install, previous results and wariness of electrical issues associated with aftermarket ballasts.

 

I may go the same route. I'm reading the reviews on the 'Diamond Visions' and they are pretty good. A lot of guys are saying they burn out after 3 months... Hope that's not common.

 

Hey Sid, yours is a 4x2? Thinking of going with the same wheels and tires on mine. Cant find pics of these wheels on the FN website...

 

Yes it's a 4x2 Sport. Just call the number on the website and ask for Dustin.

This thread has more info on the wheels...

Definitely subbed for the progress. We have the same exact color and model. Gonna be a great ride!

 

How many coats of dip did you use? Any glossifier? Hows the finish holding up?

Thanks.

 

How are the Phillips headlights holding up?

 

9-10 coats, no glossifier used. Matte finish just as good as when I first sprayed it.

Headlights still working great and haven't had to replace any bulbs.

 

They are just white halogens right? Is the color similar to the stock led drl?

 

Yes & yes.

 

Love the wheel and tire combo on your truck! I never thought i would want bronze rims on anything but a blue WRX but after seeing your setup I'm completely hooked.

 

Thank you. I'm very happy with the choice I made as well.

 

Really like your setup, about to pick up a Cement TRD OR and am going to go with bronze as well and the same tires. Looking at your build has got me excited!
