    Nice truck OP. As a guy who owned and drove a Prius for overlanding/camping adventures previously, by acquiring the TRD Pro you have expanded your universe about 1000%. I'm not familiar with the "unsafe" tires your Pro came with, but I'd venture to guess that they are pretty good. Rock sliders, then go. Decide what you need as you experience it.

    13TW5's?

    there's a ton of cabin resonance on these so, yes, any amount of Dynamat or the like will have great results.i have done 2 phases of it and I'm about to do a third with the roof and floor.

    I have DB readings at different speeds from when I put the new KO2s on. I will do it again once the work is complete.

    I 100% agree with most of this. Overlanding has become a spending competition. If you look at overland bound most of their featured rides are spotless and have spent thousands to look cool.

    I'll say one thing about a rtt. I've backpacked and camped my whole life. Never once actually slept well. Then I got my rtt. I'll never go back. :)

    The Audio build is complete.
    Crossovers are set and I have done some minor level adjustments and some quick TA.
    Initial thoughts are that the system has a ton of potential. I can easily see myself scoring 80+ in MECA.
    There is an overwhelming amount of bass that will need to be leveled out, but the IDQ10s are able to dig down to 20hz with ease.

    The rear speakers were left installed, but not used. We sealed the doors up with MLV, CCF and CLD.
    The vehicle is substantially quieter, and I will be posted DB readings from before and after the upgrades.


    Next on the list is likely a high clearance bumper with tire swing.
    I did some offroading this weekend and was dragging my ass going up a steep climb. I ended up bending the hitch.

    How was your experience dealing with Fuller Truck? I'm in socal and am looking to get an ARE cap soon and Fuller was top of the list in terms of dealerships locally. Wondering how the install went? Thanks for any insight!

    I didn't go with Fuller. I had a really good experience at Discount Camper Shell, and they were great.

    A couple of updates here:

    Sliders: Demello Dominators, without the silver crap on the ends....
    https://www.instagram.com/p/Be1w1QkB2At/?taken-by=seekoutbeauty


    Ditch Lights: KC Hilites Quad Flex on Caliraised brackets. The Caliraised brackets are vibrating a ton. New Rago set on the way.

    https://www.instagram.com/p/BcqkO4kh8of/?taken-by=seekoutbeauty


    Prinsu Top Rack: This is done, but I had to get the crossbars redone in powder coat, because I did texture coating, instead of smooth, and the hardware did not fit.


    Decals: I did a amber blackout and added a TRD Pro in back
