'09 TRD O/R AC Rig Runner Build [Picture Heavy]

Hey Guys,

I guess I'll start by telling a little about myself. I've got a 2009 TRD Off Road Access Cab. Before that I had a 1986 4Runner. I loved that rig, but it just wasn't practical for me anymore with the long highway drives I had to do. I'm going to school right now for petroleum engineering. The past few summers I've roughnecked and then last summer I was working out in West Texas doing drilling engineering. My truck serves as my daily driver and as well a my vehicle to get to different well sites.

And a shot of my old 4Runner:

 

Got the lift and tires installed on Monday. I'm really happy with the end result.

 

Looks good man nice setup!

 

Thanks! It's a work in progress, but I'm really happy with how everything's taking shape.

 

I've done a few minor, cosmetic things since the last update but nothing major. I painted my wheels and added TRD center caps and plastidipped my badges. Other than that, the pictures speak for themselves.

 

sub'd love the truck!

 

Nice truck! Rims and center caps look really good.

 

Nice!! You have a pic of the sub setup??

 

I don't have a picture of it now, but I'll try to snap some interior shots tomorrow. I built the box myself so I can fit it right behind my driver's seat. I like having the option of fitting one person back there if necessary, but I'll never have two people back there so I was fine using that room for my sub.

 

Thanks! They're the poor man's version of your trail team wheels.

 

That 4 runner is bad ass.

Tacoma is nice too

 

Thanks man. I wish I could have kept the runner, but it just wasn't practical for the long highway drives I have to do. I would've posted some more pictures of it, but I didn't want to clutter my build thread too much.

 

You did a good job with them. Center caps look sharp. With what I paid; not sure you are any worse off. LOL

 

Sub'd

Sweet setup!

 

Thanks! It's definitely a work in progress. Hopefully I'll have a little more to add here soon.

 

Great looking truck man

 

You don't happen to still have the shell from those first few pics you posted of the truck do you? Looks like you took it off. I'm interested in buying it if so

 

How much preload do you have on the front coils and what spring rates are you using

 

I'm using 600lb coils and have about an inch of preload.
