Left For Dead: The Resurrection of my 2015 TRD Pro

Wow she looks good as new! Great job, hope no future problems come up from the wreck.

 

Another short update:
This is the Tech Deck. You can mount RAM balls to it and then whatever accessories you want on that. I modified a suction cup iPad mount I already had to work with the RAM ball. I'll add a magnetic mount for my phone on there as well.



And for anyone curious, this is where I mounted my seat heater buttons.



Sorry for all of the small updates, I'm just going through my phone looking for things I've done and have pictures of for y'all.

 

I like it even better after seeing the rebuild

 

Did I miss how much you actually paid for this at auction? Absolutely beautiful job, I think Inferno looks a lot better on 2nd Gens than the 3rd Gens

 

Nice ..............

 

Got my switch-Pro 9100 installed this evening. Still need to wire up the outputs and clean up a little of the wiring but I’m excited to have it working!

As for the price, well a man’s got to have a few secrets. ;-) I’ve got more than I expected because of all the upgrades I’ve added, but less than I could have found a stock 2015 TRD Pro with 19k miles for.

 

Sorry for the lack of updates. After leading a group of 83 teenagers caving this weekend I came down with food poisoning.

I was able to get the Switch-Pro 9100 all wired in and installed into my prototype sunglass switch-pro mount from Expedition Essentials. So far I absolutely love it. I've got my front led and rear bed rack lights all wired in. Love the bluetooth control. It'll be really handy in camp. Hopefully I'll get some pictures tonight. Oh, and the truck is over at the convertible top repair shop getting the tonneau cover's width shortened. Once that is tight I can do a little more waterproofing and install my BedRug. Things are coming together! Pics coming soon.

 

I promised pictures so here we go:

First up is the switch-pro 9100 in my Expedition Essentials prototype mount. This one was hand made and painted. The next one I get in will be the actual laser cut and powder coated version. Either way I love the mount.



Next up is the bed cover. Got it back from the shop last night. Looks great now that there aren't any wrinkles in it!




Speaking of the bed rack I got the rear lights all wired up. Got a flicker in one of them, so I guess I'll have to replace it. Not looking for a strobe party at my next campout.




Oh ya, and the front is all wired up as well.



Lastly I got the BedRug put in today. I haven't Velcro'd it down yet, I want to wait until the bed dries out a little more.





To me the BedRug makes the space more useable for camping. I can velcro down to it, crawl / sit on it comfortably... It's an improvement for sure.

More updates and hopefully a trip or two coming soon!

 

Nice work all the way around OP.

 

Only slightly jealous

 

Nice work and did I still miss some place with how much you paid for it at auction? Also that front metal bumper looks crooked to me.

 

Awesome work.

 

Awesome truck! Are those the TRD Pro headlights?

 

Looks great, glad your have the ability to bring back the dead. The lines on the grille look slightly off to me but thats just me.

 

If it's a Stealth Taco grill which is what it looks like that is normal, as mine does the same/ I will eventually get a quality grill from Homer

 

Thanks for all the compliments guys. So far I really love this truck!

Thank Ya! You haven't missed it, I just haven't shared it.
Weird! The picture does make it look a little crooked. It's not, but definitely looks like it.

Thanks! These were eBay knockoffs before I knew better. They look great, but I can't get them to adjust right and they light output is pretty crappy. I'll be doing retrofits down the road.

That picture from the front is just bad all the way around. It makes the grill / front bumper look all kinds of out of wack. Maybe I'll replace that picture with another tomorrow when it's light again.

This was another eBay special. It was prepainted the right color so I thought I could save a little and just grab it. Not super impressed with the job he did, but it's something I can fix later... it's straight, but the curve in the mesh doesn't line up quite right when you are looking down at it. Hard to explain, but ya... I'll do something different down the road.

 

Ah shitty. I've got the light output I want but want better looking housings. If you do the harness upgrade with proper bulbs you can boost the output quite a bit, but the adjutment issue sucks

 

I’ve been looking at that as an option for the light output, but the adjustment screws appear to have no impact on the lights. The shop I got them from said I may have to take them apart to reset the adjustment screws. Not sure it’s worth it but we’ll see if I get bored one weekend.

 

Beautiful truck OP! Worth bringing back from the dead for sure!
