Recommendation for next mod would be based on how the truck is actually used. None of your photos show anything that a car can't handle (no offense, just sayin)

So are we building an actual off road vehicle or just one that looks like it?

BTW, very clean look to date!

 

no offense taken didn’t have much of my Instagram photos saved on my phone so couldn’t post much right now to add, but it is my off-road/camping truck I have wheeled in various places but haven’t much lately due to blown out bilstein so I have Kings coming this week to install this weekend, plan to really go out with my build long term have MOAB trip coming up in April do plan to do a Minimal cut to the front bumper for now to gain some more clearance. But I do off-road when I’m not working or with family not strictly at the mall even though it looks it lol

 

Bumpers are a good choice IF you look towards a winch someday, you've hung the rear bumper before AND you are willing to deal with the extra poundage/performance/MPG hit. Many folks say they are, but on a daily driver, 90% pavement, its a consideration.

 

Nice looking truck. For the roof rack, I recommend Prinsu or something similar. Have you considered a cap/camper shell? I added one a few years ago and couldn't live without it now. Good luck with your build.

 

I voted rack system purely for the ability to have another place to put camping gear and equipment.
If your on the fence, maybe running your truck (as it is) will give you a better idea of what would be the most beneficial for YOU and not what we all think would be neat....although I do like to help others spend their money

 

I was thinking the bumper from relentless and then re-gear with the 35s Thankfully I purchased a daily to commute with so MPG isnt too big of a deal only driving truck sees is when it snows or on weekends for putting around and exploring now that weather is warming up

 

Thank you!!
not sure if I want to go with for the camper look or the Rack with RTT really want the prinsu for the roof for sure just not sure on what i want to do for the bed I will be camping more here soon with weather but also want something structural for off-roading

 

lol thank you gives me more insight defiantly on the fence just have to see what works best this next trip coming up that should give me a better idea.

 

Truck is sweet man!

 

Thank you work in progress but starting to make way will post updates as i progress

 

Just wanted to change the build some,
Added KING extended travel front and rear set up today

 

just an update again ordered some wheels, tires, and a cab mount relocation kit.
went with
RRW R5s in a 16 with a -25 offset
Yokohama G003 M/T in a 315/75R16

will post picks when added on

 

I vote less HDR

 

playing around with it but can adjust lol

 

I wouldn't get anything you have us voting on, buy skids. You've completely skipped that unless youre going for a show truck then just put on 35s

 

Skids are coming too just wanted to throw some things at it first that are pricey to get that out of the way, now for skids any recommendations? RCI?

 

RCI, CBI. If you’re trying to save money you could run the OEM TRD one but that things fairly thin compared to aftermarket brands.

 

I was pushing for the RCI as well right now Im stock just need to make the funds fast for the skids lol just threw alot into kings, wheels, and tires lol

 

Do skids first, or dont and we can get a laugh when you post a video messing something up because you spent money on that High clearance bumper you thought was more important.

RCI or Mobtown are basically the only people that make skids now. I like the mobtown IFS skid because it gives a little chance to deflect from pegging your cam tabs.


Do the skids then redo your rear set up, OEM with add-a-leaf sucks ( mainly because the OEM leafs blow)
