    After spending the last few months looking at trucks I finally ordered a new 3rd gen and I will be taking delivery next week.

    2017 TRD Offroad Access Cab in Magnetic Gray Metallic. Auto Trans. "Fully Loaded" except I did pass on the tech package.

    I chose the ac based on the fact that I would rather have a 6 ft bed for work and hauling bikes / gear then the extra passenger room. I don't have any kids ( as far as I know haha ) so I like to call it the "dog and a gf" configuration. Hopefully I won't regret buying an auto after years of driving stick. Only time will tell.


    Anyways lets get to the fun part! I have been working on a theoretical build sheet to bring the truck up to spec to my functional needs / taste. The overall concept is a truck that will be a reasonably comfortable daily driver for freeway and city driving. Used for home depot runs and putting around m-f and moderate wheeling on my days off ( Joshua Tree, Mojave, Moab) I also snowboard a lot in the winter so I plan on factoring in winter / snow capability.

    Build sheet is in tentative stages but I think it is a good outline so far. All suggestions, recs. , comments, h8 totally welcomed !

    BUILD SHEET :

    Suspension:

    -Aftermarket UCA's
    (TC, camburg, etc)
    -Icon Stage 4 Resi shocks and coils
    -OME or Deaver leaf pack

    (Cab Mount Chop for tire clearance options in future)


    Tires and Wheels:
    - SCS Ray 10 Gunmetal or Method Double Standard Matte Black

    -33" Toyo or BFG KO2
    ( Recs for good winter/ desert hybrid AT Tire?)


    Armor ( All line x'd no powder) :

    -CBI T3 Front Bumper
    ( add ridgid or baja lighting options)

    - Pelfrey Bilt Rear Bumper

    -All Pro "Apex Series" Sliders or SDHQ Sliders

    - CBI Skidplate Pkg.


    So thats the basic jist of it.

    I have other little items to check off the list as well over time such as grill, roof mounted light bar ?, rotopax and recovery gear , etc..

    Will upload pics soon sorry I know its futile without photos :bananadead:

    Looking forward to feedback thanks guys!
