KD's Canadian OffRoad ShortBed Build

Thanks!
Very nice choice!
I don't of too many places right now, I'm still deciding who I am going to go thru for armour. But Peden 4 Wheel Drive is the closest to Langley I know of. They have been doing a few cool Toyota builds.

 

Nice cool my buddies go to Peden for their Jeep stuff. I'll check out their Taco gear too!
Next time I'm on the island I'll hit you guys up!

 

How are you liking those wheels? I was hellbent on the 17" SEMA pro rims, but they are all but impossible to get a hold of now (maybe discontinued). the 16" you have from this year's pro are my second pic. Just wasn't sure about the gloss finish. They look great on your rig.

 

I'm really liking them, and they clean up very easily being gloss. They would look great on your white truck! Pull the trigger, I want to see more of these wheels!!!

 

Thanks man. I ended up ordering them yesterday. Just looking into tires now. Already had decided to go with BFG KO2. Just finalizing the size. Suspension upgrade perhaps in the future, but for now aiming for a tire size that avoids rub. Aiming for the stock 265/65/16 to keep it safe. I'll post pics once they are all up. Glad I stumbled across your profile.

Wanted to say thanks for this build thread and for the great/informative videos. They really help!

One question regarding your solution for mounting the extended breather... I'm not sure it is necessary to have to drill holes behind the headlight. On 2017 there is a hole at the very top behind the headlight. I was able to use a couple zip ties to hold the breather in place. Pics below. Any reason for why you didn't use the pre-exising hole? Also, I'm a bit confused why you drilled a hole to route the tube through. Did you foresee a problem going straight up behind the tail light?

 

Hey, thanks! That's a great way to do it!
I had no real rhyme or reason to route it specifically the way I did. It was just the most direct way I saw to do it at the time. But there was also no preexsisting hole behind my LH tail light to strap to. Thanks for posting this tho, hopefully it will give people some good ideas.

 

Added some RCI Rock Sliders to my rig and tested them out! Can't keep the smile off my face

Rig, rock, armour, rip. You are a certified Bro.
Don't let anyone tell you different.
Lol.

 

sweet

 

Nice lookin' truck man! And also some good high quality videos

You might've just convinced me to get RCI's (when I get to that point anyway)

 

Nice build...like the addition of the TRD Pro wheels.

 

Thanks! Me too

 

The PRO wheels really look good on that color. I just ordered a set for my SSM OR, except I got 285/75 S/T Maxx for tires...hopefully they only require the same small modification to the inner fender well as yours did, as I'm not running a lift.

 

Awesome Canadian build - looking forward to see this progressing for some ideas for mine!

 

As always, sweet video. Obviously have some skill with video editing! Question about the spot where you seemed to get hung up. Was your rear-locker on? Just looked like you didn't have traction. Can't tell if your rear wheels were both spinning or not.
