2016 Super White TRDORDCSB 4x4 Build - Proven21

3rd gen storm trooper looks good

 

Did you get the correct punt of lift from the 2015 kit or was it an inch less than advertised since the 3rd gen comes 1" higher from factory?

 

im sitting measured from hub to fender in the front approx. 23" or so and rear 23.5" or so. just a quick measurement with a shitty tape. But that looks to be the case. Im good with it I like the way it looks of course I have times I want more lift but im happy with the ride and the way it performs on and off road.

 

Sorry for the lack of updates lately for anyone thats following this build. I have been swamped between work, kids, holidays, and finishing another degree online. Anyhow enough with the excuses here we go. So since I last posted, I have added the Coverking Neoprene Seat covers to the front two seats, nice quality although they dont fit "perfectly" and need some re-tucking every once in a while to really stay put they are great per the amount I spent on them.

I added the TRD badge to the front grille (red and white logo one) I'll post some pics in the daytime soon. I also swapped out my stock fog lights with the OPT7 CREE white ones for super cheap and they look amazingly better (also pics to follow)

I debadged the truck today and havent decided if I want to put the badges back on or not but they have been derped in black and I'll make my decision later.

I just got my cheapo Chinese light bar from Alibaba the eyourlife this one here: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Eyou...GHT-BAR-Offroad-light-42inch/32360813111.html

I also got my "Sasquatch Lights" Switch and that will all get wired and mounted this coming weekend. I am planning to mount it all stealth like behind that bottom mini slit grille area (you know where I am referring to) I may or may not tin snip the piece out depending on how much light is blocked. Again stay tuned for pics and what I do.

Currently awaiting delivery of my TC UCA's and my ECGS Clamshell Bushing not sure what the hold up on either of those two parts is but I can only assume they are behind on delivery due to the holidays. Those will go on ASAP and I'll take her in for a better alignment.

Last but not least I am getting ready to re-install the rear helper leaf to get ready for rear bumper and then front bumper with winch, roof rack, and light bar on front of roof rack. All of those last couple things(for now of course) are pending tax return/ delayed Christmas Bonus which hopefully is not the damn Jelly Month Club this year LOL. Again stay tuned I OWE you all tons of pics and I will post ASAP, stick with me I wont let you guys down. Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and all that shit. Cheers.

 

Do you have issues with rubbing with those tires on?

 

not at all

 

Badges all taken off.

 

some random pics

 

Heeeeeeey Matt! So, designs are almost complete for front bumper for the 2016 with the help of a very talented person. What's your schedule looking like? Once sketches are complete, I want to show you what we are going to build and if you like it, same offer as your sliders...

 

I am able to come out your way this weekend if needed. Let me know if you wanna meet up Saturday

 

Damn haha. I didn't think that quick but that might work. I'll get up with you by the end of the week.

 

No worries, I can always make something work someway or another just let me know you can always email me some sketches or what have you and stuff and we can go from there however you guys wanna do it. Have you anything drawn up so far to get a gist of the direction you all are headed with this?

 

Not 100% complete but should have something in a day or two. We want to take a different approach to how ARB and the other current designs are done. So it's taking a touch longer on the look. I'll let you know when done.

 

sounds good, cant wait to see your ideas and chat soon! Thanks for keeping in touch on this. talk to you guys soon.

 

Did the install of my "hidden" lower led light bar. Install pics to come.

The LED POD Ditch Lights went on as well, I'll snag a photo of the install at lunch time.

 

@CBI Offroad Fab loving the 3rd gen ditch brackets and free tee shirt I got with them!

 

Do you know what the screen resolution and ratio are for the '16 units?
I wanted to load a ScreenOffImage today and I'm a bit of a perfectionist. Want to get my crop and resolution right.

 

check the owners manual, I dont recall off the top of my head.
