    Pelfreybilt Skids


    Lighting:
    Rigid Industries SR Series 20" white
    Rigid Industries SR Series 20" Amber (to be installed in Pelfreybilt Bumper Future)

    Camping/Overland stuff...
    ARB 50qt Fridge Freezer
    Frontrunner Outfitters Slimline II roof rack with axe mount, jerry can, and wolf pack box.
    AllPro Pack Rack
    Frontrunner Outfitters 50qt fridge slide
    Cvt MT Cayley Rtt (going to Oregon Wednesday to get it!)
    Cvt 50" Awning (going to Oregon Wednesday to get it!)

    Thats all I've got so far and a few things I plan on adding very soon. suspension is also on the list!


    Here it is the day I got it. 2015 SR5 DCSB in pyrite mica. I bought this truck after having several unreliable diesels and wanting a truck that I could build to be a overland/expedition capable vehicle and have a reliable daily driver.

    I didn't even make it home from the dealership before I had to make a stop at the tire shop.
    ended up getting 17" ultra motorsports wheels and 265/75 Toyo Mt's.

    Next I put on a 3" lift kit.

    The light bar in that pic is no longer on there. I'm getting a Frontrunner roof rack and those brackets will not work with that rack so I'm going to have to figure out a different mounting solution for my light! I was able to pick up a ARB 50qt fridge/freezer for a really good deal, so naturally the next thing I had to add was a fridge slide. I chose to go with one made by frontrunner. Here it is all installed. had to lower the spare to get some of the bolts in but other than that it was very easy and straightforward.

    I finally got the chance to install some more stuff on the truck. Here it is with the all pro pack rack cut down 7". Also put on a frontrunner roof rack with Jerry can holder, wolf pack storage box, and a rack for my bike. Last but not least I put on a rigid grille with 20" sr series light bar.

    Thanks guys! It's a work in progress. next thing after the rtt is gonna be suspension... anybody got any suggestions? I think I'm pretty set on the all pro spring pack for the rear with either fox or icon shocks. But I don't really know what the best route for the front would be. I was originally thinking long travel, but that is a little out of my price range for front suspension...what would be the next best setup? Looking to achieve about the same height or little more than I got now. Just want to get rid of those damn spacers lol

    Ya I guess that's what I'd call it... been looking at icon and ome... read really good things about both, just having a hard time deciding.

    Yes sir
    You could do one of Icon's better "stages" of lifts, get reservoirs, etc. and go from there. I believe OME isn't considered a true mid travel setup from what I've read though, but I could be wrong.

    Coming together nicely, I just picked up the same truck a few weeks ago and I plan on doing a similar build. What type of lift did you get?
